For the Vertical Orientation, the Murphy Bed is attached to the wall up at the top of the cabinet using three L-Brackets into structural member (ie. studs). For the Horizontal Orientation, the Murphy Bed is attached through the back apron using 6 screws into structural members (ie. studs).
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.
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.
We recommend using an inner coil or spring mattress up to 10" thick with the Regular Height Legs or up to 12" thick with the Extended Legs. The mattress can have layers of comfort foam on top, but the core must be spring. The mattress should weigh no more then 75 lbs.
We do not recommend using an all foam, latex, gel or tempurpedic mattress due to the weight of the mattress and the internal structure is not designed to stay upright.
We do not offer any installation services, you would be responsible for the assembly of the Murphy Bed. Installation requires two people and can take approx. 5-8 hours to complete. We do have installation videos on our Support page.
The material used depends on the finish. The Solid Laminates, Wood Grain Laminates, and Textured Laminates are all an industrial grade melamine, which is a particle board core with a melamine top. The Wood Veneer is a plywood core with a wood veneer top. The construction of material is ¾" thick.
When the bed is in the upright position the mechanisms can withstand a maximum of 220 lb, which includes the combined weight of the front panels, bed frame, stiffeners, crossbar, legs and mattress.
The Vertical Murphy Bed is installed using 3 L-brackets at the top of the cabinet into solid structural studs. We recommend having at least 5” above the bed height to properly mount the cabinet to the wall.
When installing your Murphy Bed, you will need access to both sides of the bed to mount the front panel onto the mechanisms. If the Murphy Bed is installed in the corner of the room, you will not be able to safely mount the panel to the mechanisms. You can view our install video Mounting the Murphy Bed Panel. to see how the Bed Panels are mounted.
