Convert any room in your home into a guest room or bedroom without sacrificing valuable floor space. This newer, more compact, side-tilt Murphy bed makes it possible by standing just 14-inches deep when closed. That's the perfect size for apartments, condos or any room that is short on space.

BONUS PLANS: Save more than $14 by also ordering the plans for our vertical tilt Murphy bed, complete with drawings and instructions on building a pair of matching bookcases!

Quality paneling and an attractive fold-down shelf add style and utility to the unit when the bed is closed. The side-tilt bed requires less headroom than our traditional vertical-tilt design. The vertical model, however, does incorporate spacious wall units on either side of the bed.

For both designs, readily accessible hardware kits simplify construction, and modern technology allows for easy fingertip operation. Either bed can be built to hold a double, or Queen-size mattress. The Side-Tilt bed can also be built as a twin size.

Our step-by-step instructions will guide you through one or both projects. We supply a full list of materials and tell you where you can find all the hardware you need. Murphy Bed side tilt: Pattern No. 90829.
