The Expanse Inverse is a queen Murphy bed that folds up flat against the wall without overhead cabinets, so it reads as a regular wood bed rather than a folded-away piece. A one-piece welded steel frame with plywood panels (no MDF or particle board) carries the bed, and hidden gas pistons do the lifting. It takes any queen mattress up to 11 inches thick on slats. Owners like the clean look and sturdy frame; the main gripes are long two-person assembly, a flimsy handle and a veneer finish that scratches.

The Expanse Inverse Murphy Bed is a wall bed that folds up without a cabinet. It looks like a regular wood bed. The bed face becomes a floating support base when the bed is open, and hidden pistons raise and lower it. No hardware is visible.
The frame is a one-piece welded steel bed frame with plywood panels. It uses no MDF or particle board. Slats support the mattress and improve airflow. It fits a queen mattress up to 11 inches thick.
The bed mounts to the wall through the headboard, at a height lower than most windows. This allows more flexible placement in a room. It can also be left down most of the time. The back of the bed is notched 5.7 inches to fit over a baseboard. Taller baseboards must be removed.
