How to move a Murphy bed?

With proper maintenance of your bed cabinet , this piece of furniture will last for many years and will follow you as you move apartments or houses. To move it, you will first need to remove the bedding and carefully disassemble it . How to transport it properly afterward? We'll tell you everything.

Step One: Move the Folding Murphy Bed

The Murphy bed is a heavy piece of furniture . Between the structure, the bed frame and the mattress, the folding bed is not intended to be moved regularly. The priority will therefore be to lighten it as much as possible before moving it. First remove the mattress, then the bed frame and the front, which you will transport separately. Then unhook the wall mounting system . If the wardrobe box can easily pass through doors and corridors, at home and in the future accommodation, do not bother to disassemble it and transport the Murphy bed as is.

Step two: tidy and organize the furniture elements

The Murphy bed cabinet is a piece of furniture that takes up a lot of space. In some configurations, if you don't completely disassemble it, it won't fit through the door. No choice for your move: you'll have to disassemble the various elements that make up the melamine wood box. Remember to keep the brackets, screws, jacks, and all the small accessories in an easily accessible box. In the end, you'll only have boards to transport, and your furniture will take up very little space in your moving truck.

Step Three: Move the Furniture Back into Your New Home

After transporting your Murphy bed, you'll need to install it again. Carefully consider the room and the exact location where you want to install it to avoid having to move it again. Once you've made your choice, first reassemble the wooden cabinet. Secure it to the wall before installing the opening mechanism inside the frame. Finish by placing your mattress on the bed base and strapping it in place. Close the bed. Your move is complete!
