6 Reasons Why Hideaway is the Best
Murphy wall-beds allow you to utilize more of your square footage and also works perfectly as a second bed option for your guests. This DIY bed would also be great for a primary bed in a small apartment or studio.
The detailed instructions are thorough and easy to follow. You'll receive a full color XL sized design and construction instruction booklet. Each step is linked to an animation video that makes it simple to assemble and install your murphy bed frame & cabinet enclosure. It also includes a clear and easy to follow plywood cut sheet.
Building a murphy bed rather than purchasing a prebuilt murphy bed cabinet both saves a fortune and allows you to construct the cabinet exactly how you want it.Build a modern murphy bed with shelves, a murphy bed desk, add slats on the face panel, or ornamental trim to the murphy bed cabinet. You can create a bed using your own sense of style.
Hideaway is the the only murphy bed kit that includes additional tools with over a $50 value. You'll get an edge band trimmer to band the wood veneer strips to your cabinet grade plywood edges. You'll also get a 5 piece countersink drill bit set to ensure your screw heads are flush. Lastly, you'll get a hex-shank forstner bit that is sized to mount our custom hardware to the wood.
The mechanism works with a piston mounted on a hinge to assist you when opening and lowering the mattress frame. It is calibrated to keep the front of the bed frame in an upright position when you want it closed and allow the bed to stay open when you want to lay on the mattress.
We back the quality of our bed frame kit with a lifetime warranty on the hardware. Register your your murphy bed hardware kit here.

Frequently Asked Questions
While we wouldn't recommend this be your first "do-it-yourself" project, we took great care to make the construction of the cabinet as easy as possible. Cutting the pieces accurately is the most difficult part, and we recommend that those who are uncomfortable with this just have the folks at the hardware store cut it for you.
If you can measure, mark, and use a cordless drill - this bed should be easy to put together for you.
Nope! Because this is a folding wall bed and not a chest-style murphy bed, you can use a normal foam or spring mattress. The only caveat is that the thickness should be under 12 inches and fall within a specific weight range noted for each variation.
It varies by location and the size of bed frame you choose. If you're building a vertical queen murphy bed for example, you will need (4) 3/4" Thick plywood sheets + (2) 1/4" thick plywood sheets. Additionally, you'll need to purchase 100ft of edge band wood veneer, some standard wood screws, and potentially wood glue or other basic items that you may not have on hand. As of 2024, in our area (Southern Wisconsin) we'd expect an additional $450 or so (Not including the hardware) If you're using high quality birch plywood. That number can vary by location and current prices of lumber though.
Not to worry! Most home improvement stores will cut the wood to size for you. All you need to do is provide them the cutting guide and they'll cut it for you. Home Depot for example offers cuts at $0.25/cut which means you'll pay only around $5 to have all of that work done for you. Well worth the money in our opinion - Just be sure to verify that all of the cuts are done accurately.
Yes! Murphy beds are just as comfortable as any other style of bed. You can use a normal mattress, so your sleeping experience will be the same.

The piston is an easier installation process, safer to use, and lasts longer. It also makes raising and lower the bed easy.
It varies, but we estimate approx 15-20 hrs.
Its up to you. The bed comes with folding legs, but not a crossbar. You can purchase one separately if you'd like the legs to raise and lower simultaneously.
While you could modify how you mount the space-saving bed to your wall to allow for near zero clearance required, we'd recommend just enough space between the top of the bed and ceiling that you can reach your fastening tools.
