The Murphy bed mechanism is the most proven of all wallbed designs, having been in use for around 100 years. While the terms "Murphy bed" and "wall bed" have become synonymous, in the past, a Murphy bed implied using a spring mechanism while wall beds used pistons. Loft Beds: Often seen in small apartments or dorms, loft beds create additional floor space, much like a bunk bed. However, instead of two beds, there is one top bed and an open space underneath. It makes it easy and safe to lift and lower a heavy bed. Pistons are also very long lasting. Some have a lifetime guarantee. 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]That’s not all. For each size, you can select a vertical or horizontal fold design depending on the room’s size and layout. The number of springs may be increased or decreased depending on the weight of the mattress and other bedding. Sufficient springs are provided to balance heavier mattresses.

The pilot holes should be drilled on the inside of the subframe on each side of the struts using a 1 1/4” bit. You can get a Murphy bed in most standard bed sizes – single, double, queen and king. The most important thing to do is to measure your space and see what size of bed will fit the best, before you get one, to avoid potential disappointment.
