How to move a Murphy bed?

The Murphy bed
Summary

With good maintenance of the bed cabinet , this piece of furniture will be able to accompany you for many years and follow you as you change apartment or house. To move it, you will first have to remove the bedding and carefully dismantle it . How to properly transport it then? We tell you everything.

Step One: Move the Folding Murphy Bed

The Murphy bed is a heavy piece of furniture . Between the structure, the bed frame and the mattress, the folding bed is not intended to be moved regularly. The priority will therefore be to lighten it as much as possible before moving it. First remove the mattress, then the bed frame and the front, which you will transport separately. Then unhook the wall mounting system . If the wardrobe frame can easily pass through doors and hallways, in your home and in the future home, don't bother dismantling it and transport the Murphy bed as is.

Second step: properly store and organize the furniture elements

The foldaway bed cabinet is a piece of furniture that takes up a lot of space. In some configurations, if you don't completely disassemble it, it won't fit through the room door. No choice for your move: you will have to dismantle the different elements that make up the melamine-coated wooden box. Remember to keep the brackets, screws, jacks and all small accessories in an easily accessible box. In the end, you will only have boards to transport and your furniture will take up very little space in your moving truck.

Step Three: Reinstall the furniture in your new home

After transporting your Murphy bed, you will have to go through the installation box again. Think carefully about the room and the precise location where you want to install it, to avoid having to move it again. Once you have made your choice, first reassemble the wooden cabinet. Secure it to the wall before installing the opening mechanism inside the structure. Finish by placing your mattress on the box spring and strapping it on. Close the bed. Your move is finished!
