Space-Saving Seating That Folds Away

Wall mounted Murphy chairs are engineered to solve one of the most common challenges in today’s buildings: maximizing space. These fold-down wall seats, sometimes called murphy or jump chairs, are designed for hospitals, patient waiting rooms, and hallways where durable, space-saving seating is essential.

Each chair includes a 3" thick seat cushion and a 25" back cushion, offering comfort without taking up floor space. Designed to meet the demands of healthcare and commercial use, these chairs are made with durable materials that withstand daily use and frequent cleaning.

Benefits include:

Only 9" from wall when folded
3" thick seat cushion and tall backrest
Cantilevered seat with spring return
Comfortable and compact for high-traffic zones
Clean, modern appearance for professional interiors

Performance You Can Count On

Murphy chairs combine commercial-grade durability with low-maintenance design. With a 600 lb weight capacity and antimicrobial vinyl upholstery, these chairs are built to last in medical facilities, schools, and offices. The wall-mounted design keeps cleaning efficient, as there are no legs to obstruct floors during mopping or vacuuming.

Each unit includes Microban® protection in wood finishes and uses upholstery suitable for both standard and healthcare settings. Installation requires wall studs for proper load support, and a 10-year structural warranty ensures peace of mind in high-use areas.

Murphy Chair Features Include:

600 lb weight rating for long-term durability
Antimicrobial upholstery options for hygiene-critical spaces
Wall-mounted for clear floor access
Made in the USA with steel frame construction
10-year warranty on structural parts

Wall-mounted Murphy chairs in a hospital hallway for overflow seating — Add corridor and waiting-area seating without blocking cleaning crews or egress paths.

Hospitals and clinics use Murphy chairs to create “ready when needed” seating in hallways, patient waiting zones, and overflow areas.

Because these seats fold up against the wall, teams keep floors clear for carts, wheelchairs, and routine cleaning—without storing stacks of chairs.
