Use solid wood for its frame to create a sturdy, convertible bed for your room. [3] Since the materials require exact cuts, consider using your local hardware store to cut them for you. Most of the time, solid wood boards will be used for the frame struts, mounting cleats and sides, while plywood can be used for the rest. In this tutorial for making your own DIY Murphy bed, you will need the following materials:Murphy beds are often compatible with standard mattresses, which may make them attractive to those looking to use one full-time. Some also have storage options and inconspicuous designs to fit seamlessly into the room. Add the head board first and foot board last, and make the struts in between, so that you have created a bed that works for you and is strong and sturdy. Segregate the strut pieces that came in the kit. Create the struts by gluing two strut pieces into an L shape with wood glue. Hold them together, then drill pilot holes about 8” apart along the struts’ length – pilot holes are created by taking a drill and making a small hole to guide where the screws will go. Secure them using the 1 ½ “ screws that came in the kit. [4] Our Beta Bed™ system provides the necessary hardware to allow you to build a murphy-bed within a wooden cabinet.

The pilot holes should be drilled on the inside of the subframe on each side of the struts using a 1 1/4” bit.

Make sure that the subframe is flush with the panels at the foot of the bed and centered on the sides. Start by building the inner frame.
