Queen Size Deluxe Murphy Bed Kit, Vertical

Product Information

The side rails will need to be curved to ensure the bed fits into the space well – you can find templates online to help you do this.

Once you have assembled your bed frame, you will need to make it possible to fold it up into the wall. You can get Murphy bed assembly kits from most bed stores, so you can make your new bed fit your existing space fairly easily. You can go for a traditional or vintage design or opt for something with a more modern and minimalist style.Note; a big advantage of this system is that you can create platforms to suit special sizes of mattresses where necessary. Design wise, it has a beautiful modern style that goes great with a wide variety of decors. The overall finish is matte white contrasted by eye-catching cappuccino legs. What we like about it: A vertical fold can be problematic if you have an extra-long bed or a short ceiling. You won’t have enough clearance to lift and lower the bed. Lowering and raising the bed is super easy thanks to the gas pistons. You use almost no effort and you can be sure the bed will never slam down on your fingers.

The Lori Bed is a versatile Murphy bed that gives shoppers a high-quality option at an attractive price-point. Made from 100% poplar plywood, this Murphy bed mounts directly to the wall. It is available with a horizontal or vertical orientation. Many shoppers opt for the vertical orientation for a traditional look, though the horizontal assembly is a suitable choice for those with low ceilings or limited space. The mattress foundation attaches to the side rails of the Murphy bed through pre-positioned screw holes in the side rails. Prime all bare wood using a bare wood primer, applying and reapplying according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once dry, caulk every joint and seam, and fill every nail and screw hole. You may have already guessed this one! It is named Murphy after its inventor, William Lawrence Murphy.

Once you are done with the struts, it is time to build the sub-frame. Place the struts that came in the kit 20” apart and perpendicular to the sides of the frame. You will need to drill pilot holes which the 2” screws will go into. Attached are photos of my bed. The instructions were very detailed. When I was confused (on the very few exceptions), the DVD video showing the procedure immediately fixed my confusion.

The counter-balance extension springs are made of our special alloy steel. The number of springs you use may be increased or decreased depending on the weight of the mattress and other bedding. We provide a full set of springs to balance all mattresses. A nylon webbing strap holds the mattress in position at all times. Some Murphy beds are more substantial than your typical bed frame and come with additional shelves or drawers. These designs can measure upward of 10 feet wide. Conversely, there are options that are very minimal (and space-saving!) in design, measuring just the footprint of the mattress and frame itself, like our best budget Murphy bed, the WallBedKing Vertical Wall Bed. We like this option for its smaller size and lightweight frame. This style of Murphy bed even allows you to customize your space with a different cabinet enclosure. Start by building the inner frame.

Home offices or bonus rooms can also double as a guest bedroom with the addition of a Murphy bed. There are a few different styles, each of which takes up very little square footage. In addition to standard styles, horizontal and chest Murphy beds are available. Users can also opt for a model that includes storage to maximize the utility of their space. The bed uses a spring lifting mechanism. It’s not as good as a piston mechanism but it works almost as well and it’s reliable. When folded up, the standard Murphy bed looks like a tall, thin cabinet or piece of furniture. It’s mounted to the wall with hinges at the bottom that allow the user to pull the bed from the top and lower it to the ground. This style is typically sold without a mattress and buyers must supply a compatible model. Chest Cabinet Murphy Bed
