Professional custom wall bed vs ready-made space-saving furniture
IKEA Hong Kong actually does not have a true Murphy Bed (a wall bed that folds vertically into the wall). IKEA sells loft beds and bunk beds, which expand upward rather than folding into the wall. Wallbed by Design is the true wall bed — when folded up, it fully frees up floor space.
Wallbed by Design offers an HK exclusive 10-year transferable warranty covering the mechanism arm and structure. IKEA only offers a 1-year warranty. A wall bed/space-saving bed is a long-term investment, and a 10-year warranty means long-term protection. An IKEA loft bed may loosen after a few years, with no one to repair it.
Wallbed by Design uses a standard-thickness mattress (20-28cm), as comfortable as a regular bed. IKEA loft beds can only use thin mattresses (8-12cm), which are uncomfortable for long-term use, especially for adults. If you value sleep quality, a wall bed is the only choice.
Wallbed by Design offers free on-site measurement, custom-made to your room dimensions and style. IKEA only offers fixed-size ready-made products, which may not fit your space, especially for irregular-shaped rooms or unconventional spaces. Custom is the true space-saving solution.
Wallbed by Design's experienced installation team handles on-site installation, ensuring safety and quality. IKEA requires self-assembly; loft bed structures are complex, and improper assembly poses safety risks. Professional installation means professional assurance, especially since wall beds involve wall mounting and mechanism arms.

Choose Wallbed by Design.A standard-thickness mattress (20-28cm) is as comfortable as a regular bed. IKEA loft bed thin mattresses (8-12cm) are uncomfortable for long-term use. For adults sleeping daily, a wall bed is the better choice.
Both work.For a children's room, an IKEA loft bed with a desk underneath works fine — children are lighter, so a thin mattress is acceptable. But if you want something that lasts into adulthood, Wallbed by Design is longer-lasting.
IKEA is more suitable.If budget is limited (HK$2,000-8,000), an IKEA loft bed is a short-term solution. But for an owner-occupied property where you want long-term comfort, investing above HK$20,000+ in Wallbed by Design for 10 years of comfort is more worthwhile.
