There are a lot of ways to save space, and I struggle to master most of them.  It’s just not that intuitive to me.  Built-in solutions work best sometimes, which is why you’ve got to keep Murphy beds in mind.  One of my friends is fortunate to have one in his rented studio apartment.  His one room living space becomes a bedroom with one pull down.  It beats constantly having a bed in the middle of the apartment.

You can look into getting your own unique unit designed and installed at Murphy Bed XPRESS in Chelsea.  The store has horizontal and vertical Murphy beds in all sorts of configurations and price ranges, with mattress sizes ranging from twin to king.  There’s a sliding bookcase bed I’m fond of, as well as the traditional Murphy bed that folds into the wall.  Murphy Bed XPRESS also has systems for space-efficient closet systems and home office set-ups.

Before considering a Murphy bed solution, you’ll have to know your room dimensions and how much of an investment you’re willing and able to make.  I can’t see why renters couldn’t get their own system, as long as it isn’t a permanent wall unit.
