Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Murphy bed?

A Murphy bed, also called a wall bed or fold-down bed, is a bed that folds up into a wall-mounted cabinet when not in use. It's ideal for maximizing space in apartments, condos, and multi-purpose rooms.

What mattress sizes do your Murphy beds accommodate?

Our Murphy beds fit standard mattresses in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, and King sizes, up to 11 inches thick.

Do I need to buy a special mattress?

No. Our Murphy beds are designed to work with any standard mattress up to 11 inches thick, so you can use one you already own or purchase a new one separately.

Can I customize the look of my Murphy bed?

Yes. Our Murphy beds are available in all colors and door styles, so you can match them to your existing decor. Side cabinets are also available and are designed to align perfectly in depth and height with the bed unit.

How does the opening and closing mechanism work?

Our beds use a nine-coil spring system on each side that can be adjusted to match the weight of your mattress. This makes lowering and raising the bed smooth and easy, even for one person.

Are your Murphy beds safe and durable?

The hardware mechanism is finished in a black-pebbled powder coat and rated to support up to 500 lbs. The legs are angled inward to prevent toe stubs and are designed for effortless height adjustment.
