Ceiling clearance calculator

Will a Murphy bed clear your ceiling fan or light fixture? Swing clearance depends on the collection and bed size. Enter two measurements to the point of the fixture closest to the bed, and we'll check every bed we make.

How to measure

Side view of a Murphy bed swinging down from the wall next to a ceiling fan. Distance from wall runs straight out from the wall the bed mounts on to the tip of the fan blade. Distance from floor runs straight up from the floor to the same point. — Side view. Select the image to enlarge it.

Distance from wall: from the wall the bed mounts on, straight out to the point of the fixture closest to the bed.
Distance from floor: from the floor straight up to that same point. For a ceiling fan, that is the tip of the lowest blade.
Measure in inches, as accurately as you can: 30, 60.25 or 60 1/4.
Leave room to spare, since fan blades can wobble. Anything under 1 inch is marked as a tight fit.
