Murphy Bed Mechanisms

Built Into Every Murphy Bed We Make

A Custom Murphy Bed Starts With What's Inside

Every Murphy bed we build includes a spring-loaded steel mechanism that is welded and assembled in-house at our Hollywood, Florida shop. This is not a separate product or something we sell on its own — it is part of the complete Murphy bed system we design, build, and install for each customer.

No Pistons No Wires. Our system is built for smooth, controlled movement using a proven spring-loaded design — not gas shocks or imported hardware. Because we manufacture both the cabinet and the mechanism together, everything is matched to your wall, your mattress, and how the bed will be used in your space.

We serve homeowners throughout South Florida including Miami, Miami-Dade County, Fort Lauderdale, and Broward County.

Why Our Mechanism Matters

At Murphy Bed Sales & Service, we build our own spring-loaded steel mechanisms in-house. This gives every Murphy bed the strength, smooth movement, and long-term durability customers trust us for.

No Pistons No Wires. We do not use gas shocks or rely on outside suppliers. Our mechanism is engineered for safety and built locally right here in Hollywood, Florida.

Our mechanism is not sold separately. It comes exclusively with the custom Murphy beds we build and install for our customers. Learn more about why we use springs instead of pistons.

Murphy Bed Mechanism — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a spring-loaded Murphy bed mechanism?

A spring-loaded Murphy bed mechanism uses calibrated steel springs to counterbalance the weight of the bed and mattress. This allows the bed to open and close smoothly with controlled movement — no gas shocks, no pistons, and no wires required.

What does No Pistons No Wires mean?

No Pistons No Wires is our way of describing what makes our Murphy bed mechanism different. Most competitors use piston or gas shock systems that can fail suddenly and cause injury. Our spring-loaded steel mechanism is simpler, safer, and more reliable for everyday use.

Do you sell the mechanism separately?

No. Our spring-loaded steel mechanism is not sold separately. It comes exclusively as part of the complete custom Murphy bed we design, build, and install for each customer. You cannot purchase the mechanism on its own.

Where is the mechanism built?

Every mechanism is welded, assembled, and tested in-house at our Hollywood, Florida shop. We do not outsource this to third-party suppliers or import pre-made hardware. Building it ourselves means we control the quality and can match it precisely to your bed size and mattress weight.

How is your mechanism different from other Murphy bed systems?

Most Murphy bed companies use piston or gas shock systems imported from overseas. These can fail suddenly when accidentally released, creating a safety hazard. Our welded spring-loaded steel mechanism is built locally, calibrated to your specific mattress weight, and designed for long-term everyday use.

Who builds and installs the mechanism?

The same team that welds and assembles your mechanism in our Hollywood shop also delivers and installs your Murphy bed. We never use subcontractors — you are always working directly with the people who built your bed. See our Murphy bed services page for more.

Do you serve Miami and South Florida?

Yes. We serve customers throughout South Florida including Miami, Miami-Dade County, Fort Lauderdale, and Broward County. Our Hollywood showroom is approximately 25 minutes from Miami via I-95.
