Question 1

Can I customize my Murphy bed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer recessed lighting, LED options, connectivity ports, decorative moulding, desks, tables, and custom stains. If it can be built from real wood, we can likely do it.

Question 2

Do Murphy beds come with storage options?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your custom bed can include integrated cabinets, bookshelves, or drawers to maximize the space efficiency of your room.

Question 3

What is a Murphy bed?

Accepted Answer

A Murphy bed, also known as a wall bed, is a bed that can be folded up against the wall or into a cabinet when not in use, providing more space in the room.

Question 4

Are Murphy beds comfortable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Comfort depends on the mattress quality. Our beds accommodate high-quality mattresses, making them just as comfortable as a traditional stationary bed.

Question 5

How much space do I need for a Murphy bed?

Accepted Answer

Space requirements vary by size and orientation (vertical vs. horizontal). You need wall space for the cabinet height and floor space for the bed length when lowered.

Question 6

Can I install a Murphy bed myself?

Accepted Answer

While DIY kits exist, professional installation is highly recommended for safety and proper function. We provide professional installation to ensure the unit is securely anchored.

Question 7

Do Murphy beds need to be attached to the wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most Murphy beds need to be securely attached to the wall or floor to ensure stability when the bed is pulled down or folded up.

Question 8

How easy is it to open and close a Murphy bed?

Accepted Answer

Our beds use a piston system that handles 95% of the weight. The bed lowers smoothly and does not 'fall' open, making it safe and easy for nearly anyone to operate.

Question 9

Can I use my existing mattress with a Murphy bed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if it is up to 12" thick. Weight limits: Twin (30-50lbs), Full (50-65lbs), Queen/King (65-80lbs). No box spring is required as the platform is built-in.

Question 10

What holds the mattress in place when the bed is closed?

Accepted Answer

The mattress remains snugly in place due to the side supports of the platform. We also offer straps or a support bar to hold the mattress and bedding when closed.

Question 11

Can a comforter or pillows be kept on the mattress when it's closed?

Accepted Answer

Comforters can stay on if the combined thickness (including mattress) is under 12 inches. Pillows must be removed before closing.

Question 12

Are Murphy beds safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when installed and used correctly, Murphy beds are safe. Ours come with gas pistons to control the bed's movement.

Question 13

How durable are Nashville Murphy Beds?

Accepted Answer

Extremely. While many national brands use melamine or MDF, we use furniture-grade plywood and solid hardwoods to ensure your bed lasts for decades.

Question 16

Do you offer a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on all mechanical hardware. The high-quality pistons are rated for 25 years of daily use.
