We offer 2 types of Murphy beds.
The Next Bed has a tubular steel constructed frame with a wear-resistant industrial powder coat finish. The steam bent wood slat supports provide maximum comfort. The legs automatically extend as the bed is lowered. The cabinet can be outfitted with either a sliding bookcase, pivoting bookcase or bi-fold doors to conceal the frame and mattress.
The Alpha Bed has a heavy-duty steel frame, which sits on a wood panel so there is no need for additional doors. The leg folds over the top of the mattress to secure it when it is moving to the vertical position. As the bed is lowered the leg is to be folded down and under the bed.
No, the mattress should be purchased separately so you have the perfect mattress for your comfort. We ask that it is present the day of installation so that the tension of the spring system may be adjusted appropriately.
No, the wooden slats on the Next Bed and panel on the Alpha Bed replace the need for a box spring.
It is important to select a mattress that is composed in a way that will not result in “slumping” over time, which happens as a result of being stored vertically causing coils or layers of foam fall towards the floor. Additionally, some mattresses will be ruined by being stored on their end. The 2 types of mattresses which fair best for a Murphy bed are inner spring and memory foam.
Memory foam mattresses must have layers securely glued together to avoid delaminating when it is standing on its end.
Inner spring mattresses must use a continuous coil rather than pocket coils, and any other materials in the mattress must be securely attached to the inner spring.
Finally, the weight of the mattress is also an important factor in your decision making. A good limit is 100 pounds for a Queen mattress to ensure the cabinet will remain closed while in the upright position.
There are quite a few mattresses recommended for use in a Murphy bed system made by Sealy and Serta. For any mattress you are considering, you should contact the manufacturer to inquire about its use in a Murphy bed.
Both mechanisms have been rated for a 2000 pound load capacity.
There is no maintenance needed for the bed frame or mechanism. The only suggestion is to regularly rotate your mattress for balance and comfort.
Depending on the design of the cabinetry and type of bed, mattresses between 8″-12″ can be accommodated. Your Design Consultant can tell you the maximum thickness mattress that should be purchased for your specific design.
Our murphy beds are available in Single, Double and Queen sizes.
Cabinet design and material selection are significant determining factors in project cost. A single bed with no additional cabinetry on the sides starts at $3500, installed.
All of the cabinetry installed by The Closet Works Inc. is subject to our standard Lifetime Warranty. The murphy bed mechanism has a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer’s defects.
