Mattress Guidelines
What mattress type does Accent Woodworking recommend?
We recommend an innerspring mattress for use in our Murphy Beds. They are the lightest and easiest to lift. Innerspring mattresses use a coil support system, making them the most mechanism-friendly option for Murphy beds. Make sure to check out our blog posts: Bed Dimensions and Mattress FAQs.

Can I provide my own mattress?
Yes – you can provide your own mattress. Keep in mind a memory foam mattress can lose shape when enclosed for a long period in the cabinet.
Mattress Dimensions – Know What and How to Measure
Measure – the cornerstone for your wall bed dimensions and mattress selection. Precise measurements, including height, width, depth (when closed), and projection from the wall (when open), ensure your Murphy wall bed and optional side cabinets will fit perfectly in your space. Ideally, leave some room on either side of the bed to move around comfortably. Additionally, side cabinets can provide valuable storage space. When measuring for your new Murphy wall bed, whether you supply the mattress or order one with us, keep these guidelines in mind. We can help you match the right mattress to your custom Murphy Bed design.

- Width is measured from both sides of the outside of the molding to the outside of the molding
- Depth is the dimension from the wall to the front of the face of the bed, in the closed position
