Wood species

Maple, walnut, wormy maple, oak, and other solid hardwoods. Each species has a distinct grain character and takes stain differently.

FAQ

What is a murphy bed?

A murphy bed, also called a wall bed or fold-down bed, is a bed that folds into a wall cabinet when not in use. When closed it looks like a piece of furniture. When open it is a fully functional bed with a standard mattress. Murphy beds are ideal for condos, small apartments, home offices, and any room that needs to serve more than one purpose.

How much does a murphy bed cost in Ottawa?

Our solid hardwood murphy beds start at $3,800 CAD for a twin, $4,500 for a queen, and $4,800 for a king, installed. Unlike mass-market options built from particle board or veneer, these are built to last from real wood, by hand, in Ontario. Contact us at 343-338-0380 for a specific quote.

What makes your murphy beds different from what I see online?

Most murphy beds sold online or in big-box stores are built from particle board or MDF with a veneer surface. Ours are solid hardwood, built by Mennonite craftsmen in Southern Ontario using the same construction standards as fine furniture. The difference is visible and tangible. These are not flat-pack beds.

What can I customize?

Everything. Wood species (including maple, walnut, wormy maple, oak, and others), stain or finish, bed size (twin, double, queen), orientation (vertical or horizontal), side shelving units, integrated fold-down desk, cabinet panel design, and hardware. Every bed is built to your specification.

Where can I see one in person and discuss my options?

Visit The New Oak Tree showroom, inside Kessels Upholstery at 107 Colonnade Road North, Unit 7, Ottawa, ON K2E 7M3. Our team can walk you through options, discuss your room, and help you configure exactly what you need. Open Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM, Sunday 11 AM to 3 PM. No appointment needed.

Do you do in-home estimates?

Yes. We can send someone to your home to take measurements and discuss configuration options in your actual space. Call 343-338-0380 to arrange a visit.

How long does installation take?

Professional installation typically takes half a day to a full day depending on configuration and wall type. We handle delivery and installation in Ottawa and the surrounding area. Call 343-338-0380 to discuss your timeline.

Is a murphy bed comfortable to sleep on?

Yes. A murphy bed uses a standard mattress, not a foldout sofa mattress or air mattress. Comfort is comparable to a conventional bed. The spring-counterbalanced hardware keeps the mattress perfectly flat and makes opening and closing effortless regardless of mattress weight.
