What material are your beds made out of?

We start with a 3/4" thick industrial-core particleboard faced with a thermally fused melamine coating to provide a durable hard surface. Our industrial-core is far superior to the commercial-core commonly found in discount stores. You can learn more about the construction of our beds by reading our blog post: BredaBeds Material Construction.

Where are your beds manufactured?

BredaBeds is proud to be based in Idaho, where we employ over 30 dedicated individuals committed to delivering high-quality, innovative products. Our wood paneling is sourced entirely from American suppliers, primarily from the Pacific Northwest, reflecting our dedication to supporting local industries.

While we do incorporate some globally sourced materials, such as electronic components and the steel frame and mechanisms used in our Murphy Beds, our focus remains on sourcing American-made products whenever possible. As a leading manufacturer of Murphy Beds, our mission is to support American jobs and ensure our customers receive the best materials and craftsmanship available. Our policy is to source more American-made products whenever possible, never less.

We ship nationwide excluding Hawaii and Alaska. You can learn more about our company by visiting our story page.

How much weight can your beds support?

The maximum weight that our beds support varies depending on bed model, but as a general rule they will support the weight on the mattress + ~250 lbs per person. If a heavier person is anticipated to be using the bed, we recommend a mattress with a lower-density foam. The maximum mattress weight we recommend is 110 lbs.

Back to Top

What type of mechanism do your beds use?

Our bed products come with a spring-type Murphy Bed mechanism, which is more reliable, more adjustable, and safer than the piston-type mechanism others use. The springs are designed for everyday use and are rated to lose just 5% of their tension over a 30-year period. The weight of the mattress and face panel is counterbalanced by the number of springs that get used on the mechanism, so the heavier mattress you have, the more springs you'll use.

What is the difference between the product collections?

You can see a comparison grid between all of our collections on our Compare Product Collections page. In general, the biggest difference is the door styling and the cabinet depth. For example, the Penthouse and Studio Collection Murphy Beds come with extra deep hutches (21" deep) and wardrobe rods to support using the side hutches for hanging clothes, while the other collections have a shallower hutch (16" deep) and do not have the wardrobe rods.

What is the difference between a horizontal and a vertical Murphy Bed?

A vertical Murphy Bed next to a horizontal Murphy Bed

This refers to how the Murphy Bed is oriented. Click on the image above for a visualization of the difference. On a vertical, you would lie perpendicular to the wall, and on a horizontal, you would lie parallel to the wall. For an in-depth article, see the blog post, Vertical vs. Horizontal Murphy Beds.

Does BredaBeds offer a California King size Murphy Bed?

BredaBeds does not offer any of our models in a California King size. We do offer (Eastern) King size beds, which you can find on our King Murphy Bed category page, or use the "Shop By" sidebar box to narrow your choices.

Why did my payment fail when trying to checkout?

For a transaction to be processed, it must pass through a number of security checks imposed by your bank and our payment processor. A payment can fail for a number of reasons, but the most common reasons are:

  • The billing address (especially the zip code) doesn't match what the bank has on file.
  • Your bank has set a maximum limit per transaction.
  • Your bank has a maximum daily limit.
  • The card verification code was entered incorrectly.
  • Our processor has scored the transaction as possible or likely fraudulent.

You can contact us by email, phone, or live chat and we can provide you with additional information about the failure. Alternatively, you can contact your bank who can look up the reason for the failure if it was on their part.

If you're having errors, are unsure if the payment has succeeded, suspect duplicate orders, or any other problems, please contact us and we can absolutely resolve any payment issues.

Our policies

What is the warranty?

BredaBeds provides an industry-leading 10-year limited warranty on all mechanical parts (such as the mechanism, bed frame, and leg support system) and a 1-year limited warranty on all wood parts. In the unlikely event that a warranty issue does arise, we can provide replacement parts promptly since we are the manufacturer. This warranty assumes proper installation using the instructions supplied with your product and does not cover labor.

For mattresses, see the individual product page for warranty information.

This is a summary only; you can view our complete warranty policy online at our Warranty, Shipping, and Returns page (also located at the bottom of each page on our website).

Back to Top

What is the return policy?

We will accept returns on any of the wall bed sets we sell within a 30-day period from the time of receipt, less a 20% restocking fee (due to the nature of our custom products). Return shipping charges are the responsibility of the customer.

We cannot accept returns on mattresses that have been uncompressed as there would be no way to re-package and return the mattress; however, we do accept mattresses for returns that have yet to be uncompressed.

How does the bed arrive?

For estimated shipping and delivery dates, see the estimated delivery map. Once the order has shipped and arrives in your city, the shipping carrier (delivery company) will call you on the number provided under "Shipping Address" to schedule a time for delivery. Our products arrive flat-packed on a pallet due to their size. Depending on the options selected during checkout, your bed will arrive in one of the following ways:

Curbside Delivery:
The shipping carrier will schedule an appointment for delivery and arrive with a liftgate and pallet jack to deliver the product to a safe location out of the public street, such as a sidewalk, driveway or parking area. The pallet jack cannot navigate stairs, elevators, steep inclines and rough surfaces such as gravel. The driver will not unpack the shipment or bring it into the residence. After the product has been delivered, it is the customer's responsibility to open the pallet and carry the individual pieces into the residence and to the area where the bed will be assembled. It is also the customer's responsibility to dispose of the pallet and other packing materials.
Garage/Carport Delivery:
The shipping carrier will schedule an appointment for delivery and arrive with a liftgate and pallet jack to deliver the product into the customers garage or carport. The pallet jack cannot navigate stairs, elevators, steep inclines, and rough surfaces such as gravel, or pavers. The driver will not unpack the shipment or bring it into the residence. After the product has been delivered, it is the customer's responsibility to open the pallet and carry the individual pieces into the residence and to the area where the bed will be assembled. It is also the customer's responsibility to dispose of the pallet and other packing materials.
Room-of-Choice Placement:

Mattress Related

What thickness of mattress can I use?

Accommodates any standard U.S. mattress sizes up to 13" thick and under 110 lbs; however, we recommend a mattress under 11" thick because it fits better, and the headboard can sit at an angle to minimize the gap between the wall and mattress. The leg rod may need to be removed for mattresses between 11"-13", in which case the included mattress strap may be needed to hold the mattress in place; otherwise, we recommend against using the strap. Mattresses are not included; see our Mattresses page to find a mattress from BredaBeds, or use your own.

Back to Top

Does BredaBeds sell mattresses?

Yes, available on our mattresses page. All our Murphy Bed mattresses are guaranteed to work with all our Murphy Beds. They're available in a variety of comfort levels and bed sizes.

Back to Top

Do I need a special type of mattress?

No, you can use any mattress, even a pillow top or memory foam, as long as it does not exceed 13" thick and 110 lbs. However, we recommend a mattress under 11" thick because it fits better, and the headboard can sit at an angle to minimize the gap between the wall and mattress. The leg rod may need to be removed for mattresses between 11"-13", in which case the included mattress strap may be needed to hold the mattress in place; otherwise, we recommend against using the strap. Mattresses are not included; see our Mattresses page to find a mattress from BredaBeds, or use your own.

Do you need a box-spring for the mattress?

No, you do not use a box spring with any of our beds.

Assembly

Does the bed come assembled?

No, all beds require assembly. All parts are machined on state-of-the-art computerized equipment to ensure proper alignment of parts and hardware. Our instructions are thorough and well illustrated. If you feel that you are not comfortable installing one of our products yourself, we recommend finding a local handyman in your area through one of the following resources: Thumbtack, TaskRabbit, United Assemblers Network directory, Craigslist or contact us and we may have an installer in your area that we've worked with in the past. PLEASE NOTE: These are resource links only and not a recommendation or endorsement by BredaBeds as to the quality or workmanship of installers found through these websites.

We do offer assembly in select areas, to find out if we have an installer near you.

Does the bed attach to the floor or the wall?

Our beds are all designed to attach to the wall, and all the necessary hardware is provided.

Back to Top

How long does it take to assemble a bed?

This can vary widely depending on the model bed purchased and the person assembling the bed. We would be happy to email you the instructions for the model you are considering so you can review them before your purchase.

Back to Top

Do you have your instructions online?

Our paper instructions are not available online. They come with every bed, and we are happy to email the instructions for the model you're considering so you can review them before purchase.

For a general overview, the Murphy Bed Assembly page has a general assembly video. The video is meant to be used as a supplement to the paper instructions, not as a replacement.

Back to Top

Do I need to remove my baseboard before assembly?

No, we provide a number of different notch sizes on each product page, which you can select when configuring your bed model.

Back to Top

Opening & Closing

Can I leave the bedding and pillows on the bed when closing the unit?

Yes, sheets, blankets, and comforters can stay on when closing if you tuck them in at the edges. Pillows should be placed outside the bed cabinet when folding up the Murphy Bed or under the bedding midway on the mattress to keep the pillows away from the headboard panel.

Back to Top

How easy are the beds to open and close?

Our Murphy Beds open and close with minimal effort; they come with a spring-type mechanism, which is more reliable, more adjustable, and safer than the piston-type mechanism others use. The springs are designed for everyday use and are rated to lose just 5% of their tension over a 30-year period. The weight of the mattress and face panel is counterbalanced by the number of springs that get used on the mechanism, so the heavier mattress you have, the more springs you'll use.

Back to Top

How does the mattress stay in place when opening and closing?

The mattress sits in a frame that contains the mattress to prevent the mattress from sliding when in use. The leg rod flips over the top of the bed and holds the mattress in place when opening and closing. We also provide a strap that can hold the mattress in place. However, we recommend against using it since the leg rod will hold the mattress in nearly all situations. The strap may be needed with a mattress between 11"-13" thick if the leg rod has to be removed, which is one reason we recommend a mattress under 11" thick.
