Murphy Bed Frame FAQ

Assembly & Installation

Yes, some assembly is required for our Murphy bed frames. Because every home is a little different—from drywall in downtown condos to solid brick in cozy bungalows—we’ve designed our hardware to be as universal as possible. Most of the essential components are included in the box, but you’ll need to pick up wall anchors that suit your specific wall type. Not sure what you’re working with? We’re happy to help figure it out, or you can simply check with your local hardware shop—they’re experts at matching anchors to walls, no matter if it’s drywall, concrete, or tongue-and-groove Oklahoma pine.

As for where your Murphy bed lives, it’ll operate most smoothly on hard surfaces like wood or laminate. Don’t worry if you have carpet—many customers use a rolling mat for easier movement, and we can recommend solutions to protect softer floors. If you have unique needs around floor types, just ask!

Installation Tips: Anchoring Your Murphy Bed Frame

To ensure your Murphy Bed Frame is securely installed, it's important to use wall anchors appropriate for your home's construction. Here’s what we recommend:

Identify Your Wall Type: Start by determining if your wall is made of drywall, brick, concrete, wood, or another material.
Choose the Right Anchors:
- For drywall, select quality toggle bolts or heavy-duty anchors like the TOGGLER SnapSkru or similar.
- For brick or concrete, concrete sleeve anchors or Tapcon screws are strong choices.
- For solid wood, standard wood screws typically suffice.

If you're uncertain about the best anchor for your specific situation, we’re happy to help with recommendations, or feel free to consult a knowledgeable local hardware specialist. Your installer can also provide guidance based on your wall type and floor surface.

The frame operates smoothly over hardwood, but it’s also compatible with carpet. For thicker carpeting, a rolling mat can make movement easier. We’re glad to offer advice on floor protection and anchoring methods for any unique setup.

Delivery Times & Production Notes

For items listed as "In Stock Quick Ship" in white, you can typically expect delivery within approximately four weeks after placing your order.

Custom orders, crafted to your specifications, generally require a longer lead time and are usually delivered within 16 to 20 weeks, depending on your location within the USA or Canada.

Keep in mind: Production schedules may shift during August, as many Italian factories observe traditional summer breaks. This may result in additional delays both during and immediately after this period. Rest assured, we'll keep you updated on your order's progress every step of the way.

Quick Ship vs. Custom Order Murphy Beds

When it comes to finding the perfect Murphy bed for your space, you have two main options: quick ship models or custom orders.

Quick Ship Models:
If you’re looking to furnish your room in a hurry, our quick ship options are a lifesaver. These models, available in classic white, are typically in stock and can be delivered to most locations within about four weeks (depending on availability). No fuss—just fast, reliable shipping straight to your door.
Custom Orders:
For those who like a personal touch, custom orders offer a world of possibilities. Choose your preferred panels, colors, or mix and match up to two panels to create a one-of-a-kind look. Since these are made to order—often crafted in Italy—production and delivery can take around 16 to 20 weeks on average (note that factory schedules, especially around August, may affect timelines).

What's Included: Mattress Details

Each Murphy bed comes complete with a thoughtfully-engineered, medium-firm memory foam mattress designed for both comfort and support. Its two-layer construction features a high-density memory foam top to minimize pressure points and a supportive lower layer for restful sleep—all while fitting standard US queen sheets and most linens.

For those with sensitivities or eco-friendly preferences, rest easy: these mattresses are hypoallergenic, breathable, and crafted to meet rigorous Oeko-Tex certification standards. The removable mattress cover offers easy cleaning and peace of mind. While there's space for your sheets and a lightweight duvet, you may need to remove pillows or bulky bedding when closing the bed.

Built for Sustainability and Modularity

Our Murphy Bed Frame is thoughtfully engineered for both longevity and adaptability. Its modular construction means that if life happens—be it a spilled cup of coffee or an energetic pet—individual parts can be easily replaced or repaired, rather than sending the whole bed to the landfill. This approach significantly extends the lifespan of your investment while reducing waste.

We’re also mindful of our environmental footprint. Shipments are carbon offset, so you can rest easy knowing your purchase supports responsible practices from our workshop to your home.

Important Considerations for TV and Monitor Installation

If you’re planning to integrate a TV or computer monitor with your Murphy bed setup, a bit of forethought will ensure seamless style and function. Here are some best practices to keep in mind as you map out your multimedia Murphy masterpiece:

Check Your Device Dimensions: Our Murphy beds can accommodate televisions or monitors up to 75″, depending on the bezel thickness. Make sure your chosen device fits within a width of approximately 70″ and a height of 37.5″—take a moment with your trusty tape measure to be certain!
Power Accessibility: Plan to locate your wall socket in a spot that will be hidden yet easily accessible. This helps keep unsightly cords out of view, preserving that signature Murphy bed minimalism. If you’re renovating or preparing a new space, consider relocating electrical outlets for a tidier look.
Cable Management: There are pre-designed cable channels on the upper shelving and rotating panel, making it easy to run power and HDMI cords without tangling or clutter. Double-check that your wires reach comfortably and can move with the bed’s mechanism.
Choosing the Right Mount: To optimize viewing and maximize space, opt for a slim, low-profile wall mount for your TV or monitor (brands like Sanus or Vogel’s are popular, but select any model rated for your device’s size and weight). This ensures the screen stays flush against the shelves or face panel, reducing interference during bed transformation.
Desk and Shelf Clearance: If your Murphy bed includes a folding desk or shelves, test clearances and stowing positions before finalizing your setup. Bulky stands or devices with deep bases may need to be repositioned—or swapped for a streamlined all-in-one like an iMac.
Professional Installation: While the handy types out there may relish the challenge, enlisting a professional can save you headaches with heavier units or complicated wall types. It typically takes a few hours for two people to assemble and install, especially if electronics are involved.

A little extra preparation upfront ensures your creative space will smoothly transition from office or living room to cozy guest retreat—no tangled cords or awkward TV placements required.

Returns and Eligibility for Murphy Beds

While we strive for you to absolutely love your new Murphy bed frame, it’s important to note our return policy before you buy—especially with big items like this one. Murphy Beds (including our all-steel, powder-coated frames) are considered items that can be slept on, which means they’re not eligible for returns or exchanges.

For reference, while we do accept returns on many standard tables, chairs, and sofa modules if notified within 7 days and with all original packaging, Murphy Beds and mattresses fall under our no-returns policy.

If you have any questions or concerns before placing your order, we’re happy to help clarify details about fit or compatibility, so you can buy with confidence.

TV and Monitor Compatibility

Looking to turn your Murphy bed setup into a true multi-functional space? Good news—our Murphy bed frames are thoughtfully designed to accommodate your home entertainment and workspace needs. Each frame can support the installation of a TV or computer monitor, making it easy to transform your guest room or office in seconds.

Maximum TV Size: Fits most televisions up to 75 inches (measured diagonally), depending on the width of your TV’s bezel.
Available Space: The area behind the table is approximately 70 inches wide and 37.5 inches tall, providing ample room for most modern flat-screen TVs and large computer monitors.
Device Power and Cable Management: Openings are situated in three of the upper shelves, as well as at the top of the rotating face panel. This allows you to discreetly route power cords and cables, keeping your space neat and organized.
Workspace Accommodation: The 7.87-inch (20 cm) deep shelf behind the desk easily accommodates all-in-one PCs like the Apple iMac, or similar devices and accessories.

Whether you want an entertainment center, a home office, or just flexible shelving, this Murphy bed adapts to your needs—no need to compromise on functionality or style.
