Diy Murphy Bed Build - Wall bed Hack Without the Hardware Kit

[@kathleenriley3477]

This is my favorite plan so far. I don't want to spend a fortune on a DIY kit and this bed is elegant, simple and looks very sturdy!

[@terracottaneemtree]

Just make sure the hinges you get for the pivoting the bed are very strong. Now a days. They use so much recycled metal that bends.

[@زكرياءبكوري]

I don't like the bed head I have to move every time

[@Beyond_Right]

@@زكرياءبكوريhonestly don’t know why he made it bulky like that. A simple common board fixed to the wall would’ve sufficed! But you always appreciate people doing things a little different

[@danmann6417]

As a professional carpenter and designer this would have to be one of the best builds i've seen in awhile, absolutely fabulous!!! This guy really knows his stuff and a big thanks for taking the time to show others! Cheers

[@BaileyBuilt]

I wanted to stop by and say thanks for doing this video. It inspired me to try doing a build from scratch. I have since built a queen version of this bed and it took off from there. You have really set the bar for many of us, new woodworkers. Thanks again for all you do. Continue to inspire!

Seat pivots. Exactly the solution I was looking for. Starting my build tomorrow

[@briansouthworthrealtor]

How did it go?

[@ameliahoward6346]

OK I know this is an old video but you really made my day. What started as my small home-office/guest bedroom has also morphed into an upholstery studio and work-working shop and things are getting pretty unmanageable with a giant bed in there. People keep telling me to nix the guest bed but I never want to be in a position where I can't welcome friends or family members into my house if they need a place to stay - long term or short. I've been researching murphy bed builds for 2 years now, and this is the first design I've come across that I can both trust and afford. I bought heavy duty swivels recently for vintage barstools I am restoring and was surprised at the strength and quality, but it never would have occurred to me that I could use them for this application until now. And they are a fraction of the cost of the least expensive murphy bed hardware kit!!! Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant idea and thorough instructions. Super innovative. Enthusiastic subscribe!!!

[@paulhavenjr774]

DIY Creators I've actually started building this for a Queen sized bed a progressing fairly well.. The only part I've had trouble with is visualizing the clearance needed to avoid the wall and floor from the swivel.. Using a "to scale" cardboard cutout, I was able to nail it to a board in the correct place to physically see where I needed to center the swivel.. My floor to ceiling is 91" and have calculated 86" from floor to the top of the mattress box with appropriate clearance below.. I notice on your final product that there's far more clearance space below than up top.. Is this camera "illusion" or is less clearance needed for the top "downswing"?

[@paulhavenjr774]

DIY Creators Oh!! I feel I should also mention that the mattress box comes in at 81.5" and the clearance needed down below was 4.5" so if the same were needed up top, I might have to cut out a section of the top enclosing crossboard of the entire unit, if one could even fit at all..

[@paulhavenjr774]

DIY Creators Because obv that would equal 90.5" wherein the entire floor to ceiling height is 91"...

[@josepherwin8709]

[@philrichmond7567]

I made a bed like this. Headboard was already attached. The legs were magnetic so easily removed when beds in the wall. The underside of the bed was papered and painted the same as the surrounding wall. You couldn't tell if I had a bed in the room. It looked like an optical illusion. Nice video my friend.

great idea of using the Boat Seat Swivel hardware.... how is it holding up since Jan 2016 ?

[@damianndrums]

Yes, @DIY Creators, I would like to know the same thing. Your video is straight to the point and actually cost effective. I have a bed that makes a perfect platform to modify into a Murphy bed, but most hardware out there is $300. How is the seat swivel hardware working out? PS I plan on doing this for a murphy bed that will be used daily.

[@JohnnyTemptation]

I’ve used this same build in my bedroom on a daily basis, and the same boat seat swivels since June- I’m noticing gunk is getting caught in the swivels and strands of hair, all of this isn’t effecting the function that the swivels serve. It’s held up fine these past 6 months, but I do plan on replacing the hardware by the end of this year just to be safe as they’re pretty affordable and get a lot of use.... hope this helps!

Great video! And very nice build! And why is it that men always hate painting? I love painting (except ceilings).

[@seanmcaleavy2369]

Not all men hate it. I like it. Even though anybody can slap paint on a wall, there are definitely tricks and techniques for making the finished job look professionally done. I think a lot of people dislike painting because they are unaware of these techniques and their finish product comes out looking like shit after going through all that trouble. One hugely important factor in the final outcome is how thoroughly you prepped it. Some people say that a paint job is 80% prep work. Those people are low- balling that number. It is at least 90%.

[@DIYCreators]

Thank you. As far as the t-nuts on the bed I believe I stated that I have 2 per hole. One inside and out side. I am aware that I placed the t nuts on the outside of the block. I did present a solution as well. That is overshadowed by the mistake I made.

[@alanmyers4297]

Brilliant, simply elegant design! This is the first of you videos that I've seen and can't wait to see more from you! Subscribed! Is that a full or queen mattress? If it's a full would I need to do anything different to put a queen in it's place?

[@Texas1FlyBoy]

The only differences should be the size of the mattress frame, the height of the shelving units (to match the length of the mattress) and the top piece (to span between the two shelving units). Note that the queen-size mattress will be heavier, and some Murphy beds have extension springs to help lower and raise them. The springs could be attached out of view, from the head of the mattress frame to the bottom of the shelving units (near the front would give best lift). I'm not sure what size of springs to use. That would depend on the weight of the mattress and frame. For reference, traditional bed sizes are: Full-size = 54-inches wide by 75-inches long. Queen-size = 60-inches wide by 80-inches long.

Very nice!! One question: Don't the 2x2's cause a comfort issue? Should there be plywood over it to give a solid surface?

[@xxxSHyZAxxx]

I would have used 2x1's vice 2x2 but I doubt it's much of an issue because the bed probably isn't going to be used that often so it'll be a long time before it causes comfort issues on a 12in think mattress

[@zombyfellow]

I think 2x1s would warp in the middle from the weight. If you space the 2x2s frequently enough, the mattress won't sag between them.

[@johnroberts8493]

I had the same thought. Plus you're likely voiding a mattress warranty putting it over 2x2's like that. I didn't notice how thick the plywood was he used for the face, but what I would do is use a 1/4" plywood for the face, then the 2x2's, and lay a sheet of 1/2 or 3/4 ply on top of the 2x2's to give the mattress a firm, flat foundation. That is my one and only criticism of this build. Aside from that, it's fantastic. I'll be using his design as inspiration for my build.

[@alanandcyndi9335]

I plan to run the support members lengthwise in the bed structure and then affix bed slats on top of that to support the mattress, for air circulation under the mattress.
