Need Sturdy Bed Frame - Making Murphy Bed (Fold-Off-The-Wall)

Featured Replies

Hi,

In peoples' travels, has anyone seen a really good BASIC bed frame? One that could be mounted on a wall with hinges?

My priority is strength. If you have seen something STURDY please let me know!

If it is strong, but locks together, I can modify that.

If it is steel then I can get the frame welded and strengthened.

If it is wood, I can glue and strengthen that too.

If it is a cheap piece of crap, then I cant really do anything with that. There are lots of bed frames that are made with very flimsy materials that are fine on the floor - but mine must swing around in mid air!!! (Well, hinge off the wall at least!).

So if you have seen something that is basic, but better than a general cheap-tubing frame, please let me know! Or if there are any pre-made fold-out units, that would be great too...

Thanks, Mark

Seriously I would worry more about the integrity of what you are fixing it to.

You are correct, a standard frame can be easily beefed up, but if its 3 inch hollow brick pots with an inch of render both sides to carry it..........maybe make a video to show how not to do it.

If you have design skill, probably better to draw a plan for what you want and then have it built to spec. The problem I see is if a pre-made frame is strong, it will be heavy to lift and if light, then not strong enough for the stresses. A good idea for these condos though,

are you looking for beds that are fold able back to the wall or simply the ones that are dead fixed hanging down from the wall?

Could have it made of aluminum to reduce the weight problem.

OP: Hinged to the wall???? How is that going to work? You really do not want the whole weight of the folded up bed on the hinges do you?

I would be concerned with the wall taking the strain when lowering or lifting.

Check it out and I think you will find that the beds that fold up against the wall are not wall hinged/mounted, they are floor mounted.

Now that you mention it that makes sense.
