Installing a Murphy bed is one of the most effective ways to maximize space while maintaining style and comfort in your home. If you’re thinking of transforming a guest room, home office, or studio apartment, into a more practical dual-purpose space, understanding the Murphy bed installation process helps you feel comfortable that you’ll have a smooth, stress-free experience.
At Wallbeds n More, we actually specialize in professional installation that’s designed to protect your home and deliver long-lasting performance.
Here, we’ll walk you through what happens during installation, describe how long it takes, and explain how to prepare your space so that everything goes as easily as possible on installation day.
What Is the Wall Bed Installation Process?
At Wallbeds “n” More, our wall bed installation process involves delivery drivers bringing your furniture to your home and professional installation experts securing a precision-engineered bed system into your space. The goal is that it operates safely and effortlessly both now and for years to come.
Unlike freestanding furniture, Murphy beds rely on carefully balanced mechanisms, reinforced cabinetry, and secure mounting. Our professional installation helps to make sure the bed is level, properly anchored, and fully tested before use. Which is something that is especially important for both safety and durability.
How Are Murphy Beds Installed?
Murphy beds are installed by anchoring the furniture frame system into the wall studs or structural supports. Our installation team will assemble any cabinets and drawers, install the internal lift mechanism, secure the bed frame, and make sure everything is operating smoothly.
At Wallbeds n More, our trained installers follow a step-by-step process to make sure the bed opens and closes effortlessly while still remaining stable and secure. They typically go through the following steps:
- Room assessment and measurements
- Cabinet and frame assembly
- Secure anchoring to the wall
- Mattress placement
- Operational testing and safety check
Do Murphy Beds Need to Be Attached to the Wall?
Yes, our Murphy beds must be attached to the wall. Wall attachment is essential for both safety and functionality. The bed’s weight, combined with the motion of opening and closing, requires there is secure anchoring to wall studs or reinforced backing. This prevents tipping, shifting, or strain on the lifting mechanism of the bed.
At Wallbeds n More, we never cut corners. Every installation is securely fastened according to the manufacturer’s specifications and local building standards.

Final Inspection and Walkthrough

How Long Does Murphy Bed Installation Take?
In most cases, Murphy bed installation takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on:
- The size and configuration of the bed
- The wall type and structural conditions
- Any additional features like shelving or integrated desks and drawers

How to Prepare Your Space for a Smooth Installation
A little preparation goes a long way for a fast and successful installation.
Step 1 -Clear the Area
Remove furniture, wall décor, and electronics from the installation zone. A clear space allows installers to work safely and efficiently.
Step 2 – Guarantee Wall Access
If possible, identify where wall studs are located, though our team will confirm this on-site. Please try to let your sales team know in advance if your walls are concrete, brick, or metal studs.
Step 3 – Protect Nearby Items
While installers take great care, it is wise to move valuables or fragile items out of the room during installation. It is also necessary to ensure our installation team has a clear path from the driveway to the room where the new piece will be placed.
Step 4 – Confirm Ceiling Height and Clearance
Murphy beds obviously require adequate ceiling height and floor clearance to open fully. Our team will verify this, but confirming the room’s measurements beforehand can prevent delays.
