How to Choose a Wall Bed

A wall bed should work for the room you have and the way you use it every day. Start with the room's main purpose, then check the exact model dimensions before you choose a size or finish. This guide helps you narrow down the DUO Concepts range.

1. What does the room need to do during the day?

A home office that becomes a guest room

Start with a wall bed that includes a work surface. Nuzzle Wall Bed with Desk combines a desk and shelving with the bed. Muzzle Wall Bed with Desktop has a desk designed to remain level as the bed operates. Compare the current product drawings, work surface and open-bed footprint for your room.

A living room that needs an overnight bed

Cuddle Wall Bed with Sofa combines seating and sleeping in one system. Check the sofa footprint in daytime mode and the bed's open footprint before deciding where other furniture will go.

A guest room that needs open floor space

Compare Nestle Wall Bed and Snuggle Standard Wall Bed. If you want display space within the wall bed, consider Huddle Wall Bed with Shelf. These models have different configurations; use each model's current specification drawing to compare the cabinet and open-bed dimensions.

2. Check whether it works in your room

Measure the clear wall width and height where the unit will stand, then measure the available floor space with the bed open. Note doors, windows, trim, bulkheads, outlets and any furniture that must stay in the room. Check the delivery route too, including elevators, stairs and doorways. The dimension drawing for the exact model and size is the final reference.

Our wall bed measurement guide walks through the room checks step by step.

3. Plan the full system

  • Bed size and mattress: Check the sizes and mattress limits listed on the specific product page.
  • Storage: Modular storage can complete a wall bed layout. Confirm compatibility, dimensions and what is included; units shown in a room image may be sold separately.
  • Installation: Wall beds require secure wall anchoring. Tell our team whether your wall has wood studs, steel studs, concrete or masonry so the installation approach can be reviewed for your space. Explore professional installation.
  • Delivery and timing: Review the current options for your address and selected product before ordering. See delivery information.
