We start with a 3/4" thick industrial-core particle board 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 closes, while the other collections have a more shallow hutch (16" deep) and do not have the wardrobe rods.

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 lay perpendicular to the wall, and on a horizontal, you would lay parallel to the wall. For an in-depth article, see the blog post, Vertical vs. Horizontal Murphy Beds.

Accommodates any standard U.S. mattress sizes up to 13" thick and under 110 lbs; however, we recommend keeping the thickness under 11" so the headboard can sit at an angle to minimize the gap between the wall and mattress.

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 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.
