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.
- The room has to work as a living room by day, and you do not want to shift furniture to open the bed.
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 sleep on a deep mattress. This one caps out at 7 inches.
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 11 of them for the Compatto Murphy Bed with Compacting Sofa. The 3 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 range is published, and a mattress outside the range either drifts open on its own or takes real effort to lift.
- 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
Buying the mattress first
Murphy beds cap mattress thickness because the mattress has to fold into the cabinet with the bed. This one stops at 7 inches. A mattress bought before the bed is the most common expensive mistake in this category.
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.
Measuring to the cabinet instead of past the sofa
With a sofa in front, the wall to obstruction measurement starts at the front of the sofa, not the cabinet face. That is often another two to three feet of room depth.
