I share my home office with my guest room.

I have a twin bed in there that gets used often enough but the space is a little cramped for me when we do not have a guest.

I think the idea of a murphy bed is fantastic but I'm wondering if anyone actually has one who can tell me about how it works out for them.

We have my mother in law for weeks at a time pretty often. So the bed gets used but when she is here I usually don't work as much from home just because I need a little space and I like to give her the guest room when she's here. I move my work into the actual office up in LA or down in Irvine. Not usually a big deal.

When she's not here however the bed just gets in my way. I've contemplated even bagging and putting it into storage but rather than get a larger storage unit and constantly moving the bed I'd rather simply fold it up. If I can do that - it might be cool.

Thoughts?
