This was my thoughst exactly. I've never in my life seen a murphy bed whereas sofa beds are very common around here. I'm willing to consider having a muprhy bed though as this is sims and the functionality is essentially the same (saves space).
I've never seen or heard of a Murphy bed outside of the Sims. It's clearly a north American thing. Sofabeds would be cool.
It's not a very common thing currently in North America, I don't think, unless they're making a comeback or something. They seem to be a dated concept from a time gone by. Sofa beds would be cool, I agree.
There's a growing market for them for small condo apartments where I live, especially studio apartments (the ones with no separate bedroom). I would imagine people use them similarly in tiny homes if they have the budget for them. I was sofa shopping in the fall and we ran across lots of Murphy beds.
Oh I see; interesting. Funny enough, I was watching Love It or List It on HGTV the day before yesterday, and they added a Murphy bed into the bonus room design. It looked sleek, modern, and easy to use. It was in an actual full-sized home, too.
I guess the sort of...conundrum with this being the main feature in a tiny home in The Sims would be that Sims don't physically move furniture around, the player does. So in real life, a Murphy bed works as a space saver because a person can put the bed up and pull other stuff out, whereas in The Sims, the player would potentially have to constantly go into Build mode to make use of the available space when the bed is packed away. Which somehow doesn't seem efficient. Unless there's some routing features that have been implemented to make this more efficient.
ETA: after rewatching the trailer several more times, I realized that the Murphy bed does save space because it's also a couch.
