Audet Solid Wood Storage Bed Review

Mattress Information

Although you can use any murphy bed mattress that fits the bed’s dimensions, Wayfair will include a mattress with the purchase of the bed, and it does not require box springs. 

The mattress is 6” thick and made of memory foam, and it folds up easily into the cabinet when not in use. When guests or inhabitants are ready to use the bed, all they have to do is pull open the cabinet and unfold the mattress, and the bed is ready to sleep on.
