Due to the wide selection of Murphy beds available today, the vast majority of sleepers should be able to find a comfortable option. The top bunk can support up to 250 pounds maximum, while the bottom bunk is designed for 300 pounds or less, and both are compatible with mattresses measuring up to 8 inches thick.

As with many DIY projects that use wood, you can make a DIY Murphy bed more or less expensive with the type of wood you choose.

We can also ship the welded version abroad, but this can be considerably more expensive than the flat packed one. While you may be able to find cheaper options, keep in mind this is a substantial piece of furniture, and it’s worth making sure you’re getting something of quality before spending the money.

If these attributes aren't of great value to you, building a DIY Murphy bed without the hardware kit is simple. To smoothly and effortlessly lower and raise our murphy beds, rather than use out-dated spring mechanisms that are subject to deterioration and require maintenance, we use only a high- quality gas piston mechanism designed and made in Germany to the most rigorous specifications.
