FAQ
Q: DO YOU NEED A BOX SPRING? DOES THE PRICE INCLUDE THE MATTRESS?
A: No, you do not need a box spring. The box spring is actually built into the bed. The bed is built with double 1-1/2 inch struts that run the length of the bed. No, the price of the bed does not include a mattress.
Our murphy beds require a standard innerspring mattress that should not exceed 12 inches in thickness. If you already have a mattress that you would like to place in your murphy bed, our beds take a standard TWIN, FULL, or QUEEN size mattress (depending on what size murphy bed you would like to order). If you're shopping a local mattress store, please remember to BUY JUST THE MATTRESS.
Q: WHAT KEEPS THE MATTRESS IN PLACE WHEN THE BED IS CLOSED?
A: There are straps at one end of the bed, which hold the mattress into place. When the bed is in the upright position the mattress will not move or touch the wall. This allows you to hang artwork on the wall, which will make the bed more decorative when the murphy bed is open.
Q: CAN YOU LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE MURPHY BED MATTRESS WHEN CLOSING IT?
A: You may leave sheets, blankets, and a comforter on the bed as long as they are tucked in around the mattress before you close the murphy bed. Pillows must be removed before closing.
Q: IS THERE A NOTCH PROVIDED FOR BASEBOARD MOLDING?
A: Yes. Since the murphy bed needs to sit flush against your wall, we provide a notch that is 6 Inch HIGH by 1.5 inch WIDE at the back/bottom part of the murphy bed to fit over your base molding (as seen below). If you do not have base molding and do not want the notch, make a comment in the “Additional Notes” box at time of checkout or give us a call. If your notch needs to be larger you can increase the notch using a handsaw or jigsaw after receiving the bed (instructions are provided with your bed aka. Installation instructions). Notches are not to exceed 12 inch HIGH by 2 inch WIDE.Contact us if you have any questions.
Q: HOW IS THE BED ATTACHED TO THE WALL?
Our wall beds are wall mounted, which means they attach to the studs in your wall at the top of the bed only. The Bed sits on top of your existing flooring like a normal piece of furniture. Since the wall bed needs to sit up Flush against your wall, we notch out the back bottom part of the wall bed to fit over your base-molding (as seen below). If you do not have base-molding, please give us a call or email after placing your order.
Please Note that your wall bed MUST be securely mounted to the studs in your wall, or brick / concrete (your wall type). Hide N Go Sleep is not responsible if you or whomever installs your wall bed, does not attach to your wall properly.

Q: CAN I INSTALL THE BED MYSELF?
A: Installation of our wall beds can be done by the customer. We provide step-by-step installation instructions that are easy to follow. It is not uncommon for our customer to hire a Handyman or Contractor to install their wall bed project for them. The installation is very easy. Side Cabinets DO NOT need to be assembled. Side Cabinets are mounted to the side of the wall bed after it is attached to your wall.
