Murphy Beds

[TSMMANIAC]

Which DVC resorts have the Murphy in the living room as opposed to the sleeper couch?

I think right now all that is left is AKV and maybe OKW.

There are some rooms at CCV and BRV that couldn’t get them because of the slope of the ceiling.

The BPK resort studios at VGF have two beds in the studios and a lay flat couch. No Murphy beds.

OKW studios are also two beds but always have been.

I don't think OKW will ever get them because of the windows on both exterior walls of the villa.

I believe it’s the 123 line of rooms at BWV (much bigger living room) that also doesn’t have them.

Aulani also does not have them.

At OKW, I think with a refurb they could do it - in the 1-bedrooms, use the solid wall to the right of the windows, where the sleeper chair usually sits - it's plenty of wall space to mount the murphys - then a section of couch and the sleeper chair could relocate to where the large couch units are now.

I personally would love to see the studios at OKW also convert to 1 bed and the murphy - if needing both beds I definitely preferred the two beds over a bed and a sleeper sofa - but the murphys are as comfortable as a bed, so that would at least give a little more seating comfort in the studios when the beds aren't in use...my only real annoyance with the OKW studios is having to sit on a bed or in a hard chair - no couch option.

I recently stayed in one of the Boulder Ridge 5th floor units post-refurb that had the sofa beds still, because of the sloped roof design. Didn't matter in that case since no one needed that additional bed - but it was still strange to see the fully refurbed room and not see a murphy there.

Useful info for future reference. Thanks.

This sounds like the best room for you. IMO the Murphy beds are not comfortable for sitting and lounging so since you didn’t need the bed the real couch is ideal.
