Murphy beds for a ceiling around 7 ft 6 in (90 inches)
Ninety inches is where the full-size verticals start to come in. Most queen verticals still need more, and the margins are thin, so measure at the lowest point on the wall, not the middle of the room.
Of the 84 setups in the data, 20 have a maker-stated minimum ceiling at or under 90 inches, 13 state a higher minimum, and 42 state none but have a cabinet shorter than 90 inches. Cabinet beds (6 setups) stand on the floor and are not limited by the ceiling.
Maker says it works at 90 inches (20)

Bedder Way minimums come from its published rule (bed height plus 2 1/2 inches) or its fixed figures for the economy frame. Lori minimums come from its measuring guide.
Wall anchoring must follow the maker's install manual. If in doubt, use a professional installer.
