We highly recommend using one of our BedInABox® mattresses, as they are specifically designed for Murphy Beds and meet the specifications. You can shop our selection by clicking here.

The following weight ranges are recommended for our murphy bed systems:

• TWIN: 30lbs - 50lbs
• FULL: 50lbs - 65lbs
• QUEEN: 65lbs - 80lbs

The maximum mattress thickness that a Create-A-Bed murphy bed can accommodate is 12 inches (including the pillow top).

BedInABox® is a Registered Trademarks of Carpenter Company.

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 MECHANISM features a tube-leg design 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.

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 in balance with ease - without even moving a pillow! 

The finished dimensions of the DELUXE and ADJUSTABLE DELUXE murphy beds are identical.

After purchasing your murphy bed mechanism, you will need to purchase the wood separately at a home improvement store.

We strongly recommend using veneered plywood to build your bed cabinet and solid wood for the inner wood bed frame. The wood and other materials you'll need to purchase are all available at your local home improvement store and will cost around $300 to $400 depending on the size bed you are building.

Wood is not included with the murphy bed mechanism. Your instructional booklet includes our recommendation for which wood to purchase as well as the exact cut specifications.

If you are unable to cut the wood yourself, associates at your local home improvement store will be able to cut the wood to the specifications in your instructional booklet. After that, simply assemble the bed using our instructions and mechanism.

Absolutely!

We have partnered with woodworking companies in over 40 states - as well as Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom - who use our mechanism to build beautiful beds.
