Who this suits
Worth a look if
- You have a wall you can drill into and want the cabinet held flat and solid against it.
- You want the lift to feel light and even, and you would rather not re-tension anything.
- You already own a thick mattress and intend to keep it. This one takes up to 12 inches.
- You are comfortable asking for a quote. This one is sold through dealers rather than at a listed price, which usually means room to negotiate.
Look elsewhere if
- You want a choice of sizes. This model is offered in queen only.
- You do not own a saw and do not want to borrow one. A kit is a mechanism plus plans, and the cabinet is entirely yours to build.
- You cannot make holes in the wall. This one is designed to be anchored to it.
What Easy DIY Murphy Bed publishes, and what it does not
We track 6 figures on a hardware kit before calling a record complete. Easy DIY Murphy Bed publishes 4 of them for the Queen Vertical Murphy Bed Hardware Kit. The 2 it leaves out are worth knowing before you buy, because each one is a decision you will end up making without the maker's help.
- Not published: the mattress weight window. Which means no weight rating is given, which matters because the counterbalance is tuned to a range rather than to any mattress.
- Not published: price. Which means there is no retail price anywhere on the page, so comparison starts with a phone call.
We leave these blank rather than estimating them. A — in our tables is always a gap in the manufacturer's own documentation, never a number we chose not to look up.
What people get wrong with this one
Underestimating the cabinet build
The hardware is the straightforward part. The cabinet is several sheets of plywood, square cuts and a finish, and it is the part that decides whether the result looks built in or homemade.
Anchoring into drywall alone
A wall mounted bed transfers real load into the wall. Studs or solid blocking are not optional, and finding them before delivery day saves an unhappy afternoon.
Assuming the dealer price matches the showroom tag
With no published retail price, what you pay depends on the dealer. Get the quote in writing with delivery and assembly itemised, because those are where quotes for this category diverge most.
