Loft beds and bunk beds

Murphy beds
Also known as Murphy beds, they can be folded against the wall during the day to save space. Ideal for small flats or multi-purpose rooms.

Each type of bed frame has its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice depends on personal preference, available space, furnishing style and specific needs. Regardless of the type, a good bed frame should be stable, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to create optimal conditions for restful sleep.
