Adding side cabinets to a Horizontal Murphy Bed is a great way to add extra storage and the look of built-in shelving. In some cases, these cabinets can also double as a bedside table. Horizontal side cabinets will typically sit about half an inch below the level of the closed bed, making them an excellent way to create extra storage space. The cabinets will generally measure approximately the same depth as the murphy bed itself.

The most common type of Murphy bed is a single-sized one. These are typically made of sturdy materials that can be secured to the wall with at least three studs.
