Sleep Soundly With An Eco-Friendly Murphy Bed That Does It All
Murphy beds have seen a surge in popularity in recent years due to the high cost of space. These ingenious beds fold seamlessly into the wall, freeing up floor space for other uses during the day. But with most models, you have to sacrifice style and sustainability. Enter the eco platform queen murphy bed - a customizable, eco-friendly murphy bed that adds function and green living to any bedroom.
In this post, we'll explore the standout features of the eco platform queen murphy bed that allow you to sleep soundly while also doing your part for the environment. From eco-friendly materials to energy efficient design, this murphy bed has it all.
Key Features of the Eco Platform Queen Murphy Bed
What sets the eco platform queen murphy bed apart is its intentional design focused on sustainability. From the sourcing of the materials to its energy reducing features, let's look at what makes this murphy bed an eco-friendly choice.
Made from Eco-Friendly Materials
The eco platform queen murphy bed is constructed using recycled and sustainably-sourced materials including:
- Reclaimed wood
- Recycled steel
- Low VOC finishes
By utilizing materials like these, the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing the bed is greatly reduced. Reclaimed wood often comes from old barns, homes, and buildings that are deconstructed. This avoids the need to cut down new trees. Recycled steel is melted down from scrap metal, reducing the demand for newly mined ore.
The low VOC finishes used in the murphy bed also have environmental benefits. VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are emitted as gases from paints and finishes. Exposure to high concentrations of VOCs can be harmful to human health. Using low VOC options improves indoor air quality.
Energy Efficient Design
In addition to sustainable materials, the eco platform queen murphy bed incorporates features that reduce energy use.
The integrated LED lighting system is a primary way the bed conserves electricity. Rather than energy-hungry incandescent bulbs, LEDs use at least 75% less power. This saves on your electricity bill each month and reduces the demand on the power grid.
Since lighting accounts for roughly 15% of household electricity use, the LED lights have a meaningful impact on the bed's energy efficiency.
Water Conservation
Water conservation is another key eco-friendly benefit of the eco platform queen murphy bed. The bed is designed with a low-flow faucet for the optional bathroom component.
Low-flow faucets restrict the amount of water that comes out while still providing adequate pressure for tasks like washing hands and brushing teeth. By limiting the water flow to around 1.5 gallons per minute or less, the average family can save 10,000+ gallons of water per year.
Minimal Manufacturing Waste
To reduce materials wasted during manufacturing, the eco platform queen murphy bed was designed using a minimalist approach. By eliminating unnecessary elements, less raw material goes to waste.
The simplified design focuses on clean lines and utilitarian features. This allows the bed to be constructed efficiently and precisely, preventing overordering of lumber, steel, and other materials.
Biodegradable and Recyclable Materials
At the end of the bed's life cycle, the eco platform queen murphy bed was designed to be recycled to give the materials second life. The wood components can biodegrade naturally or be repurposed. The steel elements are fully recyclable through metal recycling programs.
Choosing biodegradable and recyclable materials diverts waste from landfills. All the materials can re-enter the production cycle rather than sit in a landfill indefinitely. This completes the sustainability mission of the eco platform queen murphy bed.
Customizable Options
In addition to its eco-friendly design, the eco platform queen murphy bed sets itself apart through its wide range of customizable options. You can tailor the bed's size, height, storage, and style to perfectly match your needs.
Headboard Customizations
One of the prime areas for customization is the headboard. You have the choice of:
- Attaching your own headboard or going without one
- Choose from different headboard styles like padded, button-tufted, or sleek wood
- Selecting wood tone and fabric/upholstery colors
- Adding built-in LED reading lights
Being able to customize the headboard allows you to put your personal style stamp on the murphy bed.
Storage Customizations
Storage is often at a premium in bedrooms, so the eco platform queen murphy bed can be customized with add-ons like:
- Base cabinets for storing clothes, linens, and other bedroom essentials
- Matching hutches that mount above the bed for displaying photos and keepsakes
- Open shelving for extra storage against the wall
Built-in storage solutions maximize your available space. Hide clutter away into the cabinets or keep frequently used items within reach.
Multifunctionality
During the day when the eco platform queen murphy bed is folded up, it transforms the bedroom into a multifunctional space. The bed can be customized to fold into the ideal daytime configuration.
Folds Into a Desk or Workstation
One of the most popular options is customizing the murphy bed with a desk. When the bed is stowed away, you're left with an empty wall perfect for getting work done. With the murphy bed's adjustable height, you can get the desk surface at the ideal level whether sitting or standing.
For enhanced functionality, the desk area can be fitted with shelves and even a mount for attaching a monitor. This creates an integrated home office workstation. Cables and power outlets can be run to keep devices charged and eliminate clutter.
Having a comfortable, dedicated workspace makes it easier maintain work/life balance while working from home.
Converts to a Sofa
Multifunctionality goes one step further by customizing the eco platform queen murphy bed to convert into a sofa. After folding up, cushions can be placed on the bed to create a sofa seating area. By choosing cushions in a durable, easy-to-clean fabric, the sofa can stand up to everyday use.
This is perfect for studio apartments or other small spaces where a permanent sofa would take up too much room. It lets you start and end your day in comfort.
The eco platform queen murphy bed delivers style, comfort, and sustainability. By bringing together eco-friendly materials, energy efficiency, and conservation in one well-designed product, you can reduce your environmental footprint without sacrificing an inch of comfort or aesthetic.
Multiple size, storage, style, and functionality options allow you to tailor the murphy bed precisely to your needs and space. This murphy bed provides an eco-conscious solution for modern bedroom spaces focused on sustainability.
