It is mandatory to fix a Murphy bed to the wall . Its structure is stressed daily when you unfold the mattress and bed base assembly. Since the latter is particularly heavy, it is essential to ensure stability for your Murphy bed cabinet by fixing it to the wall.
Why fix a Murphy bed cabinet to the wall?
Whether you opt for a horizontal or vertical Murphy bed , this bed model is particularly heavy since it is equipped with a folding system, a base and a mattress. Murphy beds have an ingenious opening mechanism that simply requires pulling on a handle to unfold the bed. It is therefore essential that the structure of the cabinet itself is sufficiently solid and stable to support the back and forth. This is why the cabinet bed must be fixed to a load-bearing wall. This is a safety issue that should not be neglected, to avoid any incident when opening it.
How to fix a wall bed to the wall?
Once your wall bed has been assembled, the good news is that the hardest part is already over. The final step is to secure it to the wall before you can install your mattress and enjoy it. In a bedroom, office, studio, or guest room, your wall bed will need to be secured to the wall using brackets.
Start by attaching the screws to the furniture using wood screws. Then place the furniture against the wall to mark the position and drill the holes in the right place. All you need to do is install the wall plugs and screw everything together. That's it! If you're not a DIY enthusiast, however, it might be wiser to request a full installation when you purchase your folding bed cabinet.
