Does my room qualify for a Murphy bed?
Your space is suitable for a Murphy bed if the floors are level, wall studs (16-24 inches apart) are present, the structure can support the bed's weight, there are no outlets or heaters in the installation area, and you're ready to remove the baseboards.
What Mattress Type and Capacity are Compatible?
Our Murphy Beds can accommodate mattresses 6 to 12 inches thick.
Mattress Weight Capacity Range:
- King: 37-40 kg (81-88 lbs)
- Queen: 30-32 kg (66-70 lbs)
- Double/Full: 28-30 kg (62-66 lbs)
- Twin: 20-22 kg (44-48 lbs)
We recommend using a foam mattress, as storing inner coil mattresses upright can cause coil shifting, resulting in unevenness and a shorter mattress lifespan.
Please note that the mattress itself is not included with the purchase of our wall beds.
The Minimal Lift Beds warranty is valid for 5 years if the bed is installed correctly. The warranty ensures coverage against any defects arising from faulty materials or craftsmanship that may impede the intended use of the product. This warranty encompasses the replacement of defective components at no cost, contingent upon their availability. Any labour costs incurred and paid by the customer are not encompassed by this warranty. Shipping is not included.
Please note that this warranty is applicable under normal usage conditions and does not extend to defects resulting from buyer negligence, reinstalling the bed else where, misuse, improper exposure, excessive wear and tear, or any alterations made to the furniture item. Minimal Lift Beds reserves the right to request proof of purchase or other relevant information in order to facilitate warranty claims.
It is important to mention that this warranty is non-transferable and is valid exclusively within Canada. For further details or inquiries, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.
What Materials are Used to Make Your Beds?
Our bed cabinets are crafted from high-quality engineered wood featuring a sleek veneer high-gloss white finish or wood grain grey finish that mimics the look and texture of real wood. We primarily use a combination of commercial-grade quality, providing excellent resistance to scratches, stains, and everyday wear.
What is a "Pro installer" and What is the Booking Process?
We can schedule a team of two skilled local handymen to assemble your bed. They are trained to locate wall studs, assess wall structures, and remove baseboards, ensuring the safe use of your bed. For non-standard walls, a certified construction professional is necessary.
Our handymen are independent contractors, charging $300 CAD for Horizontal/Vertical beds and $380 CAD for desk Murphy beds. Payment is due directly to them upon completion via cash or e-transfer. Installations typically take 3-4 hours.
Alternatively, you can check the Better Business Bureau, TaskRabbit, or 604Handyman for other options.
Our Murphy beds utilize a concealed dual-piston mechanism calibrated to a specific weight capacity range, ensuring both stability and safety during use. The piston system operates quietly and smoothly, making bed transitions seamless. These beds are seamlessly integrated into any room, cleverly concealing your mattress until needed.
Do I Have to Remove my Baseboards?
To ensure the Murphy bed sits flush against the wall, the baseboards in the installation area must be removed. Otherwise, the bed will be a tipping hazard and collect dust between the back panels and the wall.
How Many Packages Comes with Each Bed?
Each bed comes with a total of 4 boxes.
Box 1: Bed Frame (A fully welded bed frame, matching the exact length and width of your mattress.)
Box 2: Back Panels
Box 3: Door Panels
Box 4: Top, Below & Side Cabinets
Sizes vary with your Murphy bed order. Packages are large and heavy. Each package can weigh anywhere from 30-150 lbs and require at least 2 people to carry safely.
