Discover what makes a Night & Day Cabinet Bed so comfortable.
A beautiful cabinet is only half the story. What really surprises our customers is what's inside: a comfortable, supportive mattress that gives overnight guests the restful sleep they deserve.
When people first discover a cabinet bed, they often ask, "But is the mattress actually comfortable?"
It's a fair question. Many of us have spent a night on an uncomfortable sleeper sofa with thin cushions, metal support bars, or sagging mattresses. Night & Day Cabinet Beds are different.
Designed to provide the comfort of a real bed, these cabinet beds feature premium tri-fold mattresses that unfold in seconds and store neatly inside the cabinet when not in use. Whether you're welcoming family for the holidays, hosting weekend guests, or creating a flexible multi-purpose room, you can offer your guests a restful night's sleep without sacrificing valuable living space.
Two Premium Mattress Options—Your Choice of Comfort
Most Night & Day Cabinet Beds allow you to choose between two premium 6-inch tri-fold mattresses, each designed specifically for cabinet beds. While both offer outstanding comfort and support, they provide distinctly different sleeping experiences.
Please note: The Murphy Bed Express comes standard with the Premium Gel-Infused Memory Foam Mattress and is not available with the Pocket Coil Mattress option.
Premium Gel-Infused Memory Foam Mattress
If you enjoy the feeling of a mattress that gently contours to your body, the Premium Gel-Infused Memory Foam Mattress may be your ideal choice.
Its plush gel-infused memory foam comfort layer works together with a supportive high-density foam foundation to help relieve pressure points while providing balanced support. The lightweight tri-fold design folds neatly into the cabinet, making it both comfortable and practical.
Features
Premium 6-inch tri-fold design
Plush gel-infused memory foam comfort layer
Supportive high-density foam foundation
Excellent pressure relief
Gentle body contouring
Lightweight and easy to fold

Ideal for those who appreciate a plush, enveloping sleeping surface that cushions the shoulders and hips.
Premium Gel Pocket Coil Mattress
For those who prefer the feel of a traditional residential mattress, the Premium Gel Pocket Coil Mattress offers an excellent alternative.
Individually wrapped pocket coils respond independently to your body's movements, providing balanced support while reducing motion transfer. A layer of gel memory foam adds pressure-relieving comfort, while the pocket coil construction promotes increased airflow for a cooler sleeping experience.

Both mattresses are designed to deliver a restful night's sleep, so your decision comes down to your personal comfort preferences rather than one being objectively "better" than the other.
Comfort Without Compromise
One of the greatest advantages of a Night & Day Cabinet Bed is that you don't have to sacrifice comfort to gain valuable living space.
Whether you choose the plush contouring comfort of the Premium Gel-Infused Memory Foam Mattress or the responsive support of the Premium Gel Pocket Coil Mattress, you'll enjoy a thoughtfully engineered sleeping system that stores neatly inside an attractive cabinet when not in use.
The result is a beautiful piece of furniture by day—and a genuinely comfortable guest bed by night.
