Kay .... they are very popular here, more so than even 5 years ago.

They would be great in a bed-sit place

They're brilliant for space-saving in small rooms, but I've never known anywhere have one.

We had what could be called a 'Murphy Bed' - though we called it a 'fold down bed', when we lived in an old showman's caravan.
It was wood panneling underneath, so looked like a proper wall when it was up - even had a built in shelf!
Though, thinking back, the 'shelf' was probably the foot of the bed :-D :-D :-D :-S
