Who this suits
Worth a look if
- You want it to turn up as furniture rather than as a woodworking project.
- 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.
Look elsewhere if
- You cannot make holes in the wall. This one is designed to be anchored to it.
- You expected a mattress in the price. Budget for one on top of the figures in the table.
- You need a king. This model is not offered in one.
What Expand Furniture publishes, and what it does not
We track 14 figures on a finished bed before calling a record complete. Expand Furniture publishes 10 of them for the Hover Compact Wall Bed Queen. The 4 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: maximum mattress thickness. Which means there is no published ceiling on mattress thickness, and a mattress that is too deep stops the cabinet closing flush.
- Not published: the mattress weight window. Which means the mattress weight window is unstated, so there is no way to check a heavy latex or hybrid mattress against the lift before buying it.
- Not published: assembly time. Which means assembly time is unstated, and on a wall-mounted bed that is the difference between an afternoon and a weekend.
- Not published: panel materials. Which means the panel material is not stated, and particleboard and plywood age very differently under a bed that folds twice a day.
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
Measuring the wall and forgetting the floor
The cabinet is the easy measurement. The one that catches people is how far the bed reaches into the room once it is down, which is 86 inches here. Add walking room on top of that before deciding it fits.
Forgetting the bed has to tilt through the ceiling
A vertical bed swings up through an arc, so it needs slightly more headroom than the closed cabinet height suggests. Sloped ceilings and low light fittings are the usual casualties.
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.
