How to Build a Murphy Bed Cheap!!!

In the event you see this: Lift and lower seems to be challenging, and I’m smaller, older, and weaker than you. Also I’m inclined toward latex which is quite heavy. Thoughts?

[@freezerlunik]

I so regret my purchase after having dealt with Lori Beds. My bed is basically a $2K pile of trash as per Lori after a single disassembly. Their claims of "generous warranty" are just feel-good marketing.

Dear Jeff, I built a Murphy bed . It only took me a year. I bought birch laminated plywood, ( never use birch it doesn't stain well)a very thin layer of birch (don't sand too much). The kit came with DVD, shocks for lowering and raising bed and other necessary metal hinges. It was fun, it turned out great. Saw horses and a 5/8 sheet of plywood were necessary for square assembly. I used 4" thick piece of solid insulation to cut my sheet goods on the ground. Finally, I used birch edge banding for exposed plywood cuts. It was fun! Create a Bed $249.00

[@kimhavey7850]

Did you purchase plans? Hardware kit?

In the US, usually Roberson bits are mainly used on mobile homes and campers. Phillips and Torqx bits are the most common used in most other carpentry or mechanical applications, but we do use flathead bits in a lot of electric applications. Out of all the bits, I prefer Torqx, because they don't strip as easily as the rest. They have more surface area on the bit, meaning more area for the bit to apply force over.

I just received this bed during the beginning of this month (a twin) and I'm so glad that the bed parts came with a stickered label, but we did have to pre-drill 10 pilot holes for the cabinet assembly parts (which I haven't done before so I got my brother to help me haha). Because we both are inexperienced, we should take about 8 hours in total minus our breaks. We just have to drill the top brace to the wall, attach mattress strap, and install the locking hardware.

[@Trenchant468]

Can I ask if you think a double or queen could be lifted and lowered with a latex (heavier!) mattress, by an older, smaller, weaker female?

[@GlobetechtruthJF]

nope Ii donty think its wise, from my point of view im in good shape wth the usual lower back isses that not bad , however im looking at this and I;m buying the muphy hardware to keep my back safe. Of course im a long time caepenter and doubt mind the extrawork. its about 280 for thr lift mechanism and 700 for material , so 1000,00. and that include well written planes. takes longer to assembly to it helps to get your local homedepot to cut all you wood pieces.,,,,great plan with cutting detals...finger tip controls to lift bed no more than 3 inched and it travel the rest on its own, And this one is not even connected to the heah board so when you pick iy out to agreesively or someones you will pulliy out from ther wll snd need tewo to lift it bsck in plsce,,,,jNOTE..hope i hsve not discoursgrd sny one..its all fune but good question...goof luck be loved and pass it on.

[@davesch1512]

Just want to say this first love your Chanel! I have installed 4 Murphy beds in my 18 years of being a high end cabinet installer. It has always taken twice as long to install them as what you would think. ToGet the counterweights everything square all the springs set correctly is a long and tedious process you need the mattress on site to make sure everything works with the weight of the Mattress. Basically the Murphy bed and mattress when moving it should be weightless with the car owner balance of the springs not only will this protect your floor your walls but there’s a liability of a child getting crushed by the bed or anybody else. I would only let professionals installers do this. Murphy beds as you can be liable for anything that might happen to somebody

[@davesch1512]

Counter balance****

Pretty cool space saving bed! I think I'm going to to do this in our guest room!

[@alexanderhardwick9229]

I love your videos but this one was a little disappointing. Really thought it was a murphy bed build done cheap. But you are just assembling a pre fab bed thats like 1100usd. Dont get me wrong the video is awesome and the information is useful how it all comes together. But this isnt a build its an assembly. I bet you could totally do your own build with your own design based on what you seen here. And thats not a lot of wood im sure you could deisgn one for a couple hundred bucks. If anyone can do it, Jeff can!

[@FHL-Devils]

Yeah, I've been binging Murphy Bed videos for the last few months, since I'm doing my own in the Spring. I gotta say, for the price of this one, 0% chance it'll be this company.

[@hokimocus]

Create a Bed Murphy Bed system $249 You have to buy the plywood, cut and assemble. I did it and it was relatively easy. It took a while for me to complete but I learned a lot and bought more tools for myself. I just finished drywall in a basement thanks to Jeff's wonderful help. I own even more tools now. It's so great!

[@ZeoCyberG]

It is cheap for a Murphy Bed, they cost more than regular beds... Even DIY you're still going to be around this price and that's assuming you don't have to buy tools, etc. Here's an article giving a better idea where Murphy bed costs range... www.howmuchisit.org/murphy-bed-cost/ But that was before lumber prices skyrocketed this year, now they cost a lot more! Though, it's leveled off a bit since October's peak but are still 50% higher as the new norm... Besides, you're all forgetting the 15% off code he's giving and you can check if it can be combined with the $100 off sale they got going right now... While a kit saves time in assembly and labor.

@@hokimocus - Yeah, a no-wood-included kit is definitely the way I'm leaning...

The plywood separating when screwing in at 26:10 is unfortunate, since that will be visible when the bed is up, even from a distance (27:13).

[@prattworks]

Just pulled up the instructions. It says "Mark the holes you need to drill, based on where the catch should be positioned, and then use one of the drill bits provided to predrill the holes." Predrilling would have prevented the splitting.

Thanks so much for your feedback on those locks. That is something we are working to find a solution for!

[@davcar872]

He's a pro. Certainly, he isn't going to screw into the veneer without prepping it, I thought to myself. Then it splits it like the San Andreas Fault Line. After a slight cringe, I thought, OK, he's tired. He'll take the screw out, repair it, and do it again the correct way. Not only did he not repair it, he then proceeds to screw in the other screw along the same line, and boom goes the aftershocks. He lost my respect after simply ignoring his f---up and then does the same exact thing on the opposite side. There are various ways of preventing blowouts like his, and he chose to take his chances, making himself look like a hack.

Thanks, Jeff! I work with Habitat for Humanity in N GA, and we happen to be building a murphy for a mom & disabled kiddo. He sleeps in her room so she can make sure his nighttime respirator functions throughout. This helped so much!!

[@karenmitchell6814]

Uneasy? Mmmm, I’m sorry, I’m thinking more like unimpressed. You did a great job as usual with the video, but no instructions, no labels. Hard to assemble. Gymnastics to get the locks on. It was wobbly and heavy coming down with NO mattress. You didn’t show lifting it up, so I can only imagine how difficult and dangerous that would be. I’ve seen much better & safer kits with pistons that make the actual raising and lowering of the bed safe. I guess we know why this is “cheap/budget friendly”. I am planning a Murphy bed build, but this brand is a definite pass for me.

I suggest installing a pulley and a huck with a string maybe guided to the side so you can stand to the side of the bed and just pull the sting and the bed rises up. Installing springs could make the process of lifting even easier. You cud go wild and make all go up and down by a voice comand to. The possibility is endless. Call it the smart bed.

Folks, I bought a Lori Bed because of by trust and good will towards this channel. Well, this is a warning to others: the honeymoon was over after I had to disassemble mu bed to move it. The aluminum captive nuts/flush fittings failed on three of the pieces. Lori Beds informed that these parts are not replaceable since the openings in the plywood would be loosened up from initial installation. Lori warranty DOES NOT COVER damage during disassembly. So beware you are paying very serious cash for an essentially single-use furniture item here. Lori Beds won't supply replacement parts. BUYER BEWARE!

[@m.h.w.weckseler]

12:40 That's why i always do one of two things. 1, ignore the manual completely and go at it on a whim. 2, read (well look through) the manual completely first.

Hey Jeff. Great job of figuring it out on your own but you probably could have saved yourself a good deal of hassle by watching their own installation video found on their website. One thing I noticed in both yours and their instructional videos is that neither video chose to use wood glue during the install. Typically from what I've seen with any kind of DIY furniture making channels is that they always use wood glue for a better bond. What's your take on this?

Thanks for the video. Considering a murphy bed for a tiny bedroom. There is 140 yr old brick behind it.

I ordered the mechanism anyway and am planning on seeing if i invent something. I can go to home depot and get some wood or anything you’d recommend for me to do add these anchor points so i can add the spring mechanism

I ordered a piston mechanism for the bed

Is there no connection at the base?

From their website Shipping is just $99 within the contiguous United States and $349 to Canada Ouch shipping to Canada is very high, does that include duties and customs?

You can buy the hardware on Amazon for $300 and by 4 to 5 sheets of plywood from your local store and make your own

great!, that is a lot of work for folks who don't have a carpentry shop!

But they don't plant back native trees that are destroyed just replant what they need. They don't tell you that there's no oak's maples, cedar,or anything else just what they use.
