Murphy Bed – Space Saving Wall Bed, Fold Down Hideaway Bed for Guest Room, Home Office or Small Bedroom, Easy Assembly

This bed has essentially given me an additional room in my home. I live in a small two bedroom flat, with the second bedroom having just enough room for a double bed and small walkway, used for guest visits. Whilst the space in that room used to be a write off 95% of the time, it's now a useful space, and I no longer have to leave my clean clothes out on the airer in the kitchen! When folded down, it's a perfectly sturdy, functional and comfortable bed. I haven't received a single complaint of creaking from any guests, which can sometimes be an issue with metal bed frames. When folded up, the bed has maybe a 30cm deep footprint, which just gives me so much space in my guest room. Whilst the bed certainly isn't a decorative piece, it's also not a massive eyesore when it's tucked up to the wall. Moving the bed between these two states is relatively effortless thanks to the gas pistons. Whilst this frame is definitely on the pricier end of the spectrum when it comes to bed frames, it's honestly one of the best value investments I have made in my home just because of the extra space it's given me. Read the instructions thoroughly and check the orientation of parts before attaching them together, because there was at least one instance where I had put something on upside down. Also, assembly is definitely a two person job. I assembled it by myself, and it was definitely a stretch at times! Despite the difficulty, I still had everything together within a couple of hours. One of the complications you will come across is how to secure it to the floor and/or wall. If the floor isn't possible, then it will need to attach to the wall. I would recommend some big 8mm bolts into 12mm wall plugs, because there is some serious force behind the pistons in this frame! Skirting boards will likely be a pain here, because the top holes will need some kind of spacer, it would be great if Wallbedking could come up with some kind of solution for this, but not easy because every skirting board is different! All in all, I am really pleased with my purchase, and would definitely buy another Wallbedking bed in future.

The design is great and the motion is smooth - really excellent design work. However a few things I wish i'd known before I got it to make set up less stressful - it is not optional to secure to floor or ceiling which need to be brick concrete or wood. They do not provide the fixtures for this. Most flatpacks provide the tools you need, this one doesn't. You need several sizes of wrench, a screwdriver and ideally a mallet - you also need whatever you use to put in the fixtures to wall/floor. The video I was sent with set up instructions was the wrong one - I had to find the right one on their youtube channel. There were minor changes to what was provided to what was in this video, which was not especially clear - i'd say it's fairly easy to set up so long as you've done plenty of flatpack furniture builds before. If not, get help. While the design is great, the production quality wasn't - four holes needed drilling because they hadn't been cut properly and I couldn't get the screws in. Finally, a few minor parts were missing and i've had to request them. Not integral, but they allow me to strap the mattress to the frame. Great bed once it's in place, but lots of unnecessary annoyances along the way.

Due to being over crowded i purchased this bed to turn our bedroom into the front room so my children could have there own rooms and we could still have a living room without having to sleep on an uncomfortable sofa bed. Delivery was so fast I had the bed in a day or 2 the delivery guy was very friendly. I dread putting furniture together so wasn't looking forward to building it but it was so easy to put together and didn't take long at all we followed the youtube tutorial video and paused it while we copyed along. I had my dad bolt it to the floor and that was it super easy. it's so quick to put up and down it takes seconds and the pistons take out the effort I can do it one handed! I was worried about sleeping on it at first as I am a larger lady but the bed is solid and comfortable it took my simba mattress no problems it's so sturdy where its bolded I don't worry about it falling while it's up either I have no complains and I would definitely recommend this bed if you need extra space like we did I don't know what I would of do without it now

The bed was part assembled on delivery and there were quite clear instructions on how to install it. We had exactly 1 metre gap between fitted wardrobes and it slotted in with no problems. We bought a good mattress separately - 25 cms deep - and it folds up easily even with the quilt etc on, as long as you put the strap round. The mattress stop at the head end of the bed is rather flimsy and we have had to put a second strap round to stop the mattress falling down the back when in the vertical position. It is easy to pull down (helps if you are tall!) and stays down. It is used every night and is an excellent purchase at a good price.

Finally got round to installing this bed but the instructions were sorry to say horrendous! There needs to be better photos and they pop in plastic clips to hold in the slats are so cheap they flop to the left or right as you try it push them in! But once build it’s very structurally safe.

I am very happy with bed so far. It was easy to install (except the instructions should have said to fit the pieces together BEFORE bolting the bracket to the floor and wall as we were obviously installing the bed to be space saving as we had limited space and it was extremely awkward to try to fit the bottom to the bracket once it was bolted down). The bed is ideal though and goes up and down smoothly and easily. The bed doesn't come with a mattress (which was stated clearly by the seller and we were aware of) therefore we bought the mattress from elsewhere and as such, I do not feel that I can attribute anything towards comfort to this bed as the comfort is in the quality of the mattress. However, there is a comfort factor in that because the bed enables you to have a proper mattress then it is far more comfortable than any sofa bed or futon. I would mention though that the mattress we bought was not heavy enough to keep the bed down and started to rise on it's own. This was easily rectified by undoing one of the pistons on the bracket as one side has two pistons, so we just have one piston each side now and it works perfectly. I imagine if you have an especially deep mattress then it would be sufficiently heavy to hold the bed down with three pistons and due to the extra weight you would need three pistons to lift it as well. I would definitely recommend this bed and it would be perfect for a child's room too as once raised, it leaves a lot of floor space for children to play. The additional bonus this has over a sofa bed is that all bedding, duvet and pillows all remain on the bed when it is raised and a strap is supplied to hold the mattress and bedding to the bottom of the bed (we do however put the pillows on the top though once the bed is raised as they are a bit bulky and the bed wasn't quite 100% vertical). We have then fixed a curtain rail to the ceiling and hung a sheer curtain in front the bed when it is up, which has saved the expense of fitting a cabinet around it and even though I say so myself, it looks great.

I am really pleased with this wall bed. It is being used in my guest bedroom. All my guests have found it really comfortable. I bought the mattress from elsewhere. It is great for a multi-purpose room. It is very easy to fold up and down. It seems well built. It took a couple of hours to put together. There was a helpful video along with the written instructions. The only issue we have found was the lack of a headboard. The bed comes out a long way from the wall, leaving a large gap.

great bed....a couple of hours to fix together , but i'm retired and that means more cups of tea !!!......used our original mattress..so just like same bed....we have an alcove that was doing nothing , so it lifts into into it during day...meaning we have a nice utility room...I connected all three pistons. So easy to lift , because the pistons are waiting to lift it ( a bit like power steering).... I would have give it five stars , but a bit ''over the top'' the ''I love it ''....what are you hesitating for, buy it , it;s cheap as chips money wise , but not quality wise...great
