Murphy Beds Sarasota: Custom Built in Clearwater, Professionally Installed
More Space Place is a murphy bed manufacturer and retailer serving Sarasota, Florida, with a showroom at 4159 S Tamiami Trail. We manufacture in Clearwater, FL — not overseas — and our designers handle every project from consultation through professional installation.
Most of the murphy beds you’ll find advertised in Sarasota ship in flat-pack boxes from overseas warehouses. You assemble them yourself, anchor them to studs you hope you located correctly, and figure out mattress compatibility on your own. That’s not how we work.
More Space Place manufactures murphy beds in Clearwater, Florida — close enough to our Sarasota showroom that the same team handles manufacturing, delivery, and installation. We’ve engineered our own spring-loaded mechanisms for more than 30 years, refining the counterbalance systems, the support leg deployment, and the cabinet construction until we were confident enough to back them with a lifetime warranty. When you visit our showroom on South Tamiami Trail, you’re not looking at catalog samples. You’re seeing the actual product we install.

Why Sarasota Retirees Choose Murphy Beds
Downsizing doesn’t have to mean giving up a guest room. That’s the conversation we have most often at our Sarasota location — someone who’s moved from a four-bedroom home into a condo or villa and isn’t ready to tell the grandkids there’s no place for them to sleep.
A murphy bed in a secondary bedroom or flex room solves the problem completely. When guests aren’t visiting, the room functions as a home office, a reading room, or an exercise space. The bed folds against the wall flush with the surrounding cabinetry, and from across the room, it simply looks like a well-designed cabinet.
The mechanism itself requires less than five pounds of force to operate — a detail we don’t mention as a sales point so much as a practical one. It matters for anyone who wants to make the bed themselves without asking for help every time. Our Sarasota clients tell us that independence in their own home is part of why they made the investment.
What's the Difference Between a Murphy Bed and a Wall Bed?
Nothing — the terms refer to the same product. “Murphy bed” comes from the original patent holder, William Murphy, and the name stuck. “Wall bed” is the broader generic term. You’ll also hear “panel bed,” which describes a specific cabinet-forward design where the bed panel integrates with the cabinet face rather than folding behind a separate door.
At More Space Place, we offer both murphy bed and panel bed configurations in Sarasota. The right choice depends on your ceiling height, your room dimensions, and how the unit will interact with existing trim, windows, and flooring. Our designers evaluate all of that during the initial consultation — measurements first, recommendations second.
Visit the Sarasota Showroom — or Start with a Phone Call
Our Sarasota showroom is open Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. You can see the mechanisms operate in person, check mattress options, and talk through your space with a designer who’s worked through hundreds of projects in Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte Counties. There’s no sales pressure and no commitment required.
If you’d rather start remotely, a phone consultation works just as well for initial sizing and budget conversations. We’ll tell you what’s realistic for your space before you make any decisions.
How Long Does Murphy Bed Installation Take in Sarasota?
Most installations complete in four to six hours. Our crew handles delivery, assembly, wall anchoring, and cleanup — you don’t need to arrange any of that separately. We schedule around your availability, and we verify wall stud locations, ceiling clearance, and floor type before we begin so there are no surprises during the project.
The installation crew is the same team that installs custom closets and storage systems across the Suncoast. They’ve seen concrete block walls, older plaster, tile floors, and every other construction variable common to Sarasota-area homes. That experience matters when the fit has to be right the first time.
