Shop Murphy Bed Mechanisms
Until now, adjusting a Murphy bed that was “too heavy” or “too light” meant taking the Murphy bed apart in order to add or remove one or more bulky, hazardous metal springs. Our patented Adjustable Bed Mechanism allows for effortless and easy adjustment, providing optimal weight balance that glides when lifting or lowering.
The DELUXE tube-leg mechanism is used to build a Murphy bed that utilizes a pair of metal tube legs. The tube legs are totally concealed inside the bed cabinet when it is closed and are manually rotated over the end of the bed face panel when it is lowered out of the cabinet. This unique feature makes it the ideal choice for convenient, space-saving solutions without compromising on style and durability.
The STANDARD hinged-leg mechanism is used to build a Murphy bed with two hinged wooden legs that are attached to the front of the bed. They are completely under the bed when the bed is lowered out of the bed cabinet. This mechanism features a hinged-leg design providing superior strength and stability-the perfect foundation for a restful night's sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mattress specifications do you recommend?
We highly recommend employing one of our BedInABox® mattresses, as they are specifically designed for Murphy Beds and suit the specifications. You can shop our selection by clicking here.
The following weight ranges are recommended for our murphy bed systems:
- TWIN: 30lbs to 50lbs
- FULL: 50lbs to 65lbs
- QUEEN: 65lbs to 80lbs
The maximum mattress thickness that a Create-A-Bed murphy bed can accommodate is 12 inches (including the pillow top).
What is the difference between the STANDARD and DELUXE mechanisms?
The STANDARD MECHANISM features two hinged wooden legs that are attached to the front of the bed. They are completely under the bed when the bed is lowered out of the bed cabinet.
The DELUXE tube-leg mechanism is used to build a murphy bed that utilizes a pair of metal tube legs. The tube legs are totally concealed inside the bed cabinet when it is closed and are manually rotated over the end of the bed face panel when it is lowered out of the cabinet.
What is the difference between the DELUXE and ADJUSTABLE DELUXE kits?
The adjustable deluxe kit allows for easy balancing of your completed Create-A-Bed murphy bed. With the simple turn of a wrench you are able to make a bed that is too heavy to close lighter or a bed that just won't sit right balance with ease - without even moving a pillow!
The finished dimensions of the DELUXE and ADJUSTABLE DELUXE murphy beds are identical.
