ESPers: Efficient Space Planners

One of today’s hottest buzzwords is multi-function. You hear it all the time. Multi-function remote controls, multi-function computers, multi-function jackets, multi-function rooms…people are looking to make the most of the gadgets and, more precisely, the space they have.

Wall-Beds Alberta is simply doing their part of help out. They’re Alberta’s leading wall-bed or Murphy Bed manufacturer, and have a proven track record for designing and manufacturing wall beds that fit every room and every style.

With many boomers moving into smaller abodes, and real estate prices creeping up, space is becoming a hot commodity. There’s also a marked increase in home offices—can you think of a house that doesn’t have at least one computer? Add stay-at-home hobbies and it’s easy to imagine that creative space modification options are increasingly popular. Thankfully, Wall-Beds Alberta specializes in creating multi-functional rooms in a wide variety of spaces. They are ESPers—Efficient Space Planners!

Wall-Beds Alberta provides the designs and builds the custom cabinetry right in their own shop in Calgary. By manufacturing their own product, they can guarantee the products’ high quality. The plant is specifically designed to build their space-saving, multi-functional units: home offices, home entertainment centers, crafts rooms, home gyms, dens, basements…the list of rooms and projects they can do is extensive!

Their product is all about fulfilling a need— it’s about designing a bed and cabinetry system around the special needs of each client.

Murphy Beds use an exclusive tubular leg system that’s designed for effortless raising and lowering of the bed. The counter-balanced spring-loaded mechanism, along with the lightweight aluminum bed frame, are precisely engineered and designed to connect to the face panel of the unit. This simple design strengthens the face panel and ensures years of trouble-free operation. An aluminum stiffener provides extra strength for the face panels, and overlaps the frame for added stability. Because of this, Wall-Beds Alberta guarantees their beds will support 1600 pounds of deadweight.

Adding to the trouble-free nature of the aluminum frame is the fact that the aluminum frame has a lifetime warranty. This ensures Murphy Bed owners can enjoy their bed for a lifetime.

That enjoyment carries through to the beds’ ease of use. The lifting mechanism is guaranteed to be feather light. That means no matter who has to operate the bed, whether it’s a senior or a younger child, it can be operated easily.


Murphy Beds are available in single (twin), double (full) and queen size. Whereas in the past the beds could only accommodate 10” mattresses, they can now accommodate a thicker, higher-quality mattress, while maintaining the same quality as before.

The beds can also be constructed as horizontal or vertical pull-downs. That means that no matter what the room configuration, size or ceiling height, the beds can usually be integrated.

Their unique custom cabinetry is available in a multitude of wood products, as well as textured lacquer finishes. Wall-Beds Alberta can also custom match wood and lacquer finishes, depending on the clients’ color needs.

Prices of the units vary, and are dependent on which products are used—bed size, the mattress used, cabinetry finish/materials and design all contribute to price differentials. The average price for a bed, is approximately $3000; however, there are less expensive options. To understand their entire collection and your options, it’s best to visit their show room and ask questions.

One of those questions might be about installation time. You needn’t worry about being put out for a lengthy period. Unlike large kitchen or bathroom renovations, a Wall-Beds Alberta installation is done in one day. One day!

If you need help storing your computer, finding a place to do crafts or entertain guests all in the same place where someone is supposed to sleep, then a trip to Wall-Beds Alberta should be in your future.
