We replaced the original mattress on one murphy bed with a decent quality memory foam mattress. It improved the sleep quality quite a bit.

We tried using a standard mattress that we had first ~ it was too heavy. The bed mechanism could not handle the weight, and would have been damaged if we had continued using it.

The mattress is thinner than most primary mattresses. When sheet shopping, read sheet depth carefully, or you'll wind up with a sheet that is far too big and a sloppy fit.
