Frequently Asked Questions

• Do Murphy Beds attach to the floor or to the wall?+

  It depends on which hardware system you choose. The Panel Bed Hardware (ie. Elite, Supreme, and Build-A-Bed) are attached to the studs in the wall using three 'L' brackets. The Free-Standing hardware can be either attached to the baseboard on the wall or the floor.

• What is the difference between a Side Tilt and Vertical Murphy Bed?+

  Side Tilt and Vertical refers to the orientation of the bed when opening. A Side Tilt Murphy Bed is in the horizontal orientation and the Vertical Murphy Bed is in the vertical orientation.

• Are Murphy Beds easy to raise and lower?+

  Yes they are! Our spring-loaded mechanisms ensure effortless opening and closing. Our mechanisms are counter balanced to prevent your bed from unexpectedly falling. You can raise or lower your Murphy Bed with just one finger.

• Can I use my own mattress?+

  Yes, you can use any coil-spring mattress up to 10" thick with the Regular Height Legs and up to 12" thick with the Extended Legs. To ensure you properly balance the operation of your Murphy bed, we recommend having the mattress on site when you install your Murphy Bed.
