Key Features of a Horizontal wall bed with manual legs
Horizontal Side-Opening Design: Opens sideways along the long edge, making Murphy bed ideal for spaces with low ceilings, sloped roofs, or narrow passageways.
Manual Metal Support Legs: Sturdy front legs automatically rotate outward to provide support when the hidden Murphy bed opens and fold flush against the frame when closed.
Balanced Gas Strut System: High-performance gas struts effectively manage the hidden bed weight, ensuring a smooth, controlled opening and effortless closing.
Ergonomic Curved Slat Base: Optimizes weight distribution, maintains natural spinal alignment, and ensures mattress breathability—eliminating the need for a separate box spring of hidden bed.
High-Strength Steel Frame: A reinforced, powder-coated steel structure that ensures wall bed exceptional stability and long-lasting durability.
Why choose a wall bed?
Maximize space efficiency: During the day, the sleeping area Murphy wall bed transforms into a functional home office, fitness zone, or living area, freeing up to 80% of the floor space.
Ideal for compact living: Perfect Murphy bed for micro-apartments, studios, guest rooms, and multi-purpose areas with limited floor space.
Seamlessly integrates into your décor: When wall bed not in use, the Murphy bed tucks away completely behind modern cabinet doors, maintaining a clean and uncluttered look.
Advantages of Wall Beds
Comfort comparable to a traditional bed: unlike folding sofa beds, the wall bed features a real mattress paired with a supportive slatted base, offering an ergonomic and comfortable sleeping experience.
Ease of daily use: thanks to a balanced gas-piston mechanism, anyone can raise or lower the wall bed with just one hand in a matter of seconds.
Ideal for low ceilings (advantage of the horizontal configuration): the Murphy hidden bed frame horizontal, side-opening design is perfect for spaces where a vertical wall bed cannot be installed due to low ceilings or obstructions, such as light fixtures.
FAQ
Q1: Why choose a horizontal wall bed mechanism over a vertical one?
A: Horizontal wall beds take up less floor space when open and require less ceiling height. They are ideal for narrow rooms, low ceilings, attics with sloped walls, or spaces with ceiling obstructions (such as chandeliers or overhead cabinets).
Q2: How do the automatic folding legs work?
A: When the Murphy bed frame is lowered from the cabinet, the U-shaped steel legs automatically rotate forward to support the bed on the floor; when the bed is closed, the legs automatically fold back against the frame, sitting flush.
Q3: Is it difficult or strenuous to lift and lower the bed?
A: No. Gas pistons balance the weight of the wall bed frame and mattress, allowing the bed to be opened and closed with minimal effort.
Q4: Does this horizontal wall bed require a box spring?
A: No box spring is needed. The wall bed curved wooden slat base provides direct, resilient support for foam, latex, spring, or hybrid mattresses.
Q5: Does the kit include the wooden cabinet?
A: No. Murphy wall bed mechanism is a complete kit comprising the mechanism and slat base, designed to be installed inside a custom-made wooden cabinet or a DIY structure.
Q6: Does the mattress slide off when the bed is stored in the cabinet?
A: No. The wall bed kit includes integrated securing straps to ensure the mattress remains firmly anchored to the slat base as the frame retracts into the cabinet.
Q7: How is the wall bed bed securely fastened to prevent tipping?
A: The main hinge brackets attach securely to the sturdy side panels of the unit, while the upper mounting brackets firmly anchor the unit's structure to the wall (to the structural studs).
Q8: Do you offer OEM/ODM customization services for Murphy bed frame dimensions and gas piston specifications?
A: Yes, certainly! We offer OEM/ODM services to furniture Murphy bed manufacturers, distributors, and for commercial projects, handling custom dimensions, steel frame surface finishes, and gas piston pressure specifications (Newton ratings).
