Credenza beds
A credenza bed looks like a cabinet or console during the day and opens into a bed when guests arrive. It is self-contained, so nothing is mounted to the wall.
A credenza bed is a piece of furniture first. Closed, it reads as a low wood cabinet, the kind you might put under a television or along a wall in a den. Open, it reveals a mattress and frame that unfold into a full sleeping space.
The models Wilmington Blinds & More has featured are housed in a solid wood chest with a queen bed inside. Because the bed folds into the cabinet itself, there is no tall wall unit and no wall mounting.
Both hide a bed when it is not needed. They solve the problem in different ways.
| Feature | Credenza bed | Murphy bed |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Self-contained piece of furniture | Cabinet secured to the wall |
| Closed look | Low cabinet or console | Tall cabinet, often with side units or shelving |
| Wall above | Free for a TV, art or a window | Used by the bed cabinet |
| Built-in storage around it | Limited to the piece itself | Can be designed with side cabinets, desks and shelves |
Extremely friendly and helpful staff! Love the chest bed - great quality and so pretty!! Exactly what we wanted!
No. Unlike a traditional Murphy bed, which mounts to the wall, a credenza bed is self-contained. That makes it a good choice for rooms where wall mounting is not practical, including some condos and rentals.

The terms are used for the same idea: a low piece of furniture that opens into a bed. Customers sometimes call them chest beds or cabinet beds.
Yes. When closed, a credenza bed works like a media console or sideboard, so a television or artwork on the wall above is a common setup. Leave room in front for the bed to open.
Call the showroom or request a consultation to find out which credenza bed models are available and on display.
