Inset bookcase suggestion:
Using a sofa with arms it is suggest that dead space is created where the arms come in contact with the Muprhy bed.
If your bed does not have bookcases it is suggested mainly from a aesthetics view point. If you do have bookcases is it a must so that the arms don't interfer with either bed operation or the doors/drawers in the bookcase. Another option would be the 6" verticals below.
These bookcases are turned inward and are accessed only when the bed is open. The shevles are adjustable. On the lower section we can add a charging station with 2 electrical outlets and a USB charger. For a limited time the charging stations in each side is free of charge.
Inset bookcases $400 for each side ($800/pair)
They have a real nice look to them and you may want to use this style even without the sofa.
