Murphy Bed FAQs
1. What are the types of Murphy bed?
There are two types of Murphy bed – horizontal and vertical. A horizontal Murphy bed is side tilt and a vertical Murphy bed is upright. The difference is in the orientation of the bed when opening.
The vertical Murphy bed comes in Single, Super Single and Queen size, while the horizontal Murphy bed comes in Single and Super Single.
2. How is a Murphy bed installed?
Murphy bed is installed on the wall using L-brackets to secure the bed cabinet against the wall. After installation, the edges of the Murphy bed will be sealed with silicon sealant for a complete finishing touch.
3. Can I install the Murphy bed on partition wall?
Murphy beds can be installed on both structural wall and partition wall. For the installation on partition wall, a reinforcement will be added to secure the Murphy bed.
4. What type of mechanism do we use for our Murphy bed?
We use hydraulic mechanism for our Murphy bed to ensure effortless opening and closing. The hydraulic pistons are installed at the interior sides of the Murphy bed and can last about 30,000 times of opening and closing.
5. Is there a specific mattress to use for Murphy bed?
We recommend using a coil or spring mattress up to 8” thick with a standard length of 190cm. Foam and latex mattress are not recommended as these are light-weight. When opening the Murphy bed, the mattress weight is required to counter balance the hydraulic mechanism.
6. What material is used for the bed cabinet?
The carcass of the bed cabinet for the Single and Super Single is made from solid plywood while the Queen bed cabinet is made from melamine wood. We used high-pressured laminates (in solid or woodgrains laminates) for the external finishing.
7. What other designs can be selected?
Our Murphy bed comes with a standard design of side cabinet and top hung cabinets to the ceiling. You may also add on a study table or wardrobe for a more functional Murphy bed. Otherwise, adding on more storage cabinets will help declutter your room.
