Styles of Bed: Murphy beds, futons and day beds provide a temporary feeling, and therefore are recommended only for use in guest rooms.
The stores carry exclusively Serta mattresses - 31 choices from the company's Perfect Sleeper, Perfect Day and Vera Wang series - along with various bed frames, headboard/footboard sets and even a couple of fold-up Murphy bed options.
Other kinds of beds have been created in order to serve more practical purposes, rather than give virtually sole priority to aesthetic considerations; examples of such would be Murphy beds (or wallbeds), sofa beds, roll-away beds, trundle beds, and hideaway beds.
