Murphy Wall Bed Mechanism Hardware Kit & LEGS - King Size - Horizontal

Product Information

This ease of use is essential in environments where the room's function needs to change regularly, such as switching from a living space during the day to a bedroom at night.

Thermofoil offers a cost-effective solution with a wide variety of colors and woodgrain patterns, ideal for both traditional and modern designs. Between 1900-1950 rough cut 2×4’s were most common and were actually 2″ by 4″, and homes built between 1950-1965 could have 2x4s that are 1-⅝” by 3-⅝” – keep that in mind as this will affect the actual distance from the first stud to the next. Our WISKAWAY® Wall Bed features an automatic folding leg which opens and closes as you raise the bed and lower the bed. The first post covered an overview of the project and some things to consider for choosing the type of DIY Murphy bed, which you can read here, and the second post went into detail about step 1: preparing the cabinet components which took a few days to get done, between getting the materials, cutting all the wood, edging, sanding, and staining (read more about that here).The mechanism features two whisper-quiet charged pistons that counter balance the weight of the face of the bed, and the mattress. Wall Bed King is the most trusted and highly rated retailer of safe, high quality and space saving murphy beds, or wall beds, in the UK. Now comes the fun part of actually mounting the lift mechanism for the bed and assembling the cabinet. Murphy beds, also known as wall beds, are designed to offer a dual-purpose solution for spaces that require versatility.

The holes have to be in a precise location to match the holes in the lift mechanism so here again, precision is key. As mentioned before we have 3 rules and the Simple rule is shown when we designed our opening and closing mechanism. The ability to fold up and out of the way is a significant advantage, allowing for a multipurpose use of any given area. Of course the construction of these beds are all-wood, but only with the piston lift system can you have raised panel doors. In comparison to the slatted Wall Beds available our WISKAWAY® Wall Beds give you and your mattress a better level of support, we have found that new mattresses on slatted beds are to begin with but as soon as the springs on the mattress get regular use/pressure, you can feel the discomfort caused by the gaps in between the slates.This means that they are ideal for daily use and will last you a lifetime with proper care and installation.
