Is it Safe?
When you think Murphy Beds, do you think safety? Everyone talks about the convenience of  Murphy Beds. How they’re easily tucked up against the wall ready for use in a matter of seconds. But rarely do consumers consider the safety factor.

When considering a Murphy Bed some questions should be asked:

1. What type of mechanism is raising and lowering the bed?
The Murphy Wall-Beds Hardware spring mechanism is counter-balanced with self lubricated bushings. It allows for finger tip operation and is designed to last a lifetime.

2. Is there a restriction on weight?
The Murphy Wall-Bed Leg System has been tested to withstand over 2500 lbs of dead weight.

3. Is there clearance under the bed when in the down position?
It’s important to have space under the Murphy Bed. If someone is lowering the bed and inadvertently slips or falls, the space between the bed and the floor can avoid a serious injury.

4. Are the springs durable?
The Murphy Wall Bed springs have been professionally tested to undergo over a lifetime of usage. They are protected by a plastic cover to avoid any pinching.

Overall, Murphy Beds are extremely safe. We encourage you to research the functionality of the bed prior to purchasing. If you have any questions on this or any other subject relating to Murphy Beds, please feel free to call us at 1-949-887-6764.

Is a wallbed, sleep and store bed or hideaway bed the same as a Murphy Bed?
Although different companies make different styles of Murphy beds, the general concept is the same but the actual mechanisms might differ in appearance and quality. The term “Murphy Bed†is not a direct brand name like Coca-Cola; it’s just the style of bed that was invented by a person named Murphy many years ago.

Are Murphy Beds comfortable?
Absolutely! Unlike sofa beds and futons, Murphy Beds do not require any folding mattresses, so you are sleeping on a quality mattress without the bars and lumps associated with sofa beds and futons.

Are Murphy beds easy to raise and lower?
Yes they are! Our spring-loaded mechanisms ensure effortless opening and closing. Our mechanisms are counter balanced to prevent your bed from unexpectedly falling. You can raise or lower your Murphy bed with just one finger.

Do I need a box spring?
Definitely not! For years doctors have recommended a flat platform for sleeping support. Many manufacturers have discontinued box spring products as they are redundant.

Can I close my Murphy Bed with all the bedding and pillows in place?
No problem! We provide a Velcro strap system to hold your bedding and mattress in place when your Murphy Bed is in the vertical position. You can open your Murphy Bed and use it immediately.
