When it comes to design dilemmas, the debates are seemingly endless: Open-concept or separate rooms, kitchen island or not, and our most recent obsession is guest bedroom or home office? While we have plenty of opinions about the first two topics, today we're focusing on the third: what to do with a spare room. Well, with Costco's boutique Murphy bed, you don't really have to decide between offering guests a place to sleep and an office, fitness studio, or craft room–you can have it all!

If you don't want to commit a whole room to hosting guests, there's no need. After all, creating space for your out-of-towners can mean giving up the room's former functionality for people who don't even live there! Enter this brilliant solution from one of our favorite retailers. Having a Murphy bed is all about maximizing space and giving you the freedom to use your room however you like: Just pull down the bed when guests come to spend the night and fold it back up when they're gone. Yes, it's really that easy.

The Costco bed is queen-sized, but if you're in the market for something smaller, bigger, or cheaper, rest assured (literally) that there are plenty of alternatives on Amazon. Feel free to search yourself or just take a peek at our well-researched finds below. Here's why all Murphy beds are amazing—regardless of where they're from: They are space-saving masterpieces that serve more than one function, which is ideal for anyone working within a small room like a den or library. Like the Costco one, Murphy beds often feature plenty of storage on top or underneath them; another reason to employ them in a tiny room with limited functionality. If you see a lot of hosting in your future, it's time to invest in a Murphy bed—and we've found incredible ones ahead.
