This is called the Slide Away Bed.
It works a lot like a murphy bed except it pulls out instead of swinging out.
So when it’s not in bed mode it can be used as a sofa.
And the design is actually very simple as you’ll see in the photos below.
It’s a convertible piece of furniture that I think is perfect for tiny houses but can really be used anywhere.
Maybe even in a box truck conversion.
So let’s take a look…
The company offers over 100 fabrics to choose from and it comes with a memory foam mattress.
This type of murphy bed can be great for:
- Tiny houses
- Custom RVs
- Small apartments
- Studio apartments
- In Law suites
- Dens
- Cabins
- Dorms
So here’s a video of how it works:

Gasp!!!! Sorry, just back from their website and I will avoid that section hereafter. I will study what I can see of it’s workings though, I think I can build a reasonable variant when I can lay hands on some Materials.
Yes, I’ve just downloaded and viewed the video and I do believe I can.
You’re right David this is one expensive piece. I’ve noticed though that most Murphy type furniture systems are. Would be great to see someone turn this into a DIY project.

Its a great idea especial that the mattress has an overall cover.
For occaisionally use it seems to me suitable
However, for a daily use I would prefer a murphy bed with the already make bed on. It makes life so much easier.
There are murphy bed around with a sofa in front of it so that you can combine sitting area with bed space, too.
I was interested in the slide-away bed but I can’t get on the site.
