How to move a Murphy bed?

The Murphy bed
Summary

To move a retractable bed cabinet , you must first remove the mattress and remove the fixing from the wall. What to do next? A simple tip to reduce effort: you can place glides under the four legs or four corners of the furniture to then slide your furniture.

Moving a Murphy bed cabinet inside your home

Firstly, you should know that unlike a classic sofa or bed, the foldaway bed cabinet is not intended to be moved regularly, especially since it is fixed to the wall. The ideal is therefore to think carefully before choosing the destination part of your bed cabinet.

But if you absolutely have to move your bed cabinet within the room or from a bedroom to an office, for example, it is still possible to do so. If you change rooms, you will first need to check that you have sufficient space to pass the bed cabinet through the door without dismantling it.

Then start by removing the wall mount. Remove the mattress to reduce the overall weight. You can then lift it carefully, using at least two people. Place gliders under the furniture to more easily move your Murphy bed cabinet.

Moving a wardrobe with folding bed for a move

Sometimes, it is essential to dismantle a wall bed cabinet to move it. This is particularly the case if you are moving and your furniture cannot go down the stairs or in the elevator, for example. You will then have to first remove the wall attachment and dismantle the whole thing, part by part.

Be sure to keep all small parts in a box to avoid losing them during the move. Once the foldaway bed cabinet has been dismantled, all you have to do is transport the boards and reassemble your furniture in your new home.

If your bed cabinet becomes blocked after handling, you can follow these different steps.
