Are EMBED Murphy beds safe to use?
Are EMBED Murphy beds safe to use?
Yes, when installed properly, Murphy beds are completely safe. Our beds must be securely anchored into wall studs or structural components to prevent tipping or shifting. We highly recommend professional installation. If you're installing the bed yourself, be sure to follow our detailed instructions carefully and inspect the bed periodically for any signs of movement or wear.

How much space do I need for an EMBED Murphy bed?
While Murphy beds save floor space when closed, they do need enough room to operate safely and comfortably. Measure both the wall space for the cabinet and the floor space needed when the bed is fully open. Ensure there’s enough clearance to walk around the bed and access other furniture.
What’s the difference between spring and piston Murphy bed mechanisms?
What’s the difference between spring and piston Murphy bed mechanisms?
Murphy beds typically use either spring or piston lift mechanisms:
- Spring Mechanism (Premium Canadian Murphy Bed): Heavy-duty adjustable springs allow for easy, balanced lifting and lowering. You can fine-tune it for your mattress weight.
- Gas Piston Mechanism (Murphy Desk Bed): Provides a smooth and controlled opening with a built-in safety lock when using the desk. Best suited for lighter operation.

EMBED Home Products Inc. has partnered with Haven Sleep Co. as our recommended mattress company. We believe that the quality of the mattress is just as important as the quality of the bed frame, and that's why we have chosen to partner with Haven. Haven Sleep Co. is a Canadian-based company that produces high-quality, eco-friendly mattresses made from premium materials. Their mattresses are designed to provide exceptional comfort and support, and like EMBED, Haven mattresses are made with a focus on sustainability to reduce their environmental impact.
Can I use my own mattress with the EMBED Murphy Bed?
Can I use my own mattress with the EMBED Murphy Bed?
Yes, you can use your own mattress with the EMBED Murphy Bed. To work properly with the EMBED product, the mattress should have a thickness of 8-11 inches and weigh between 60-90 lbs. This ensures that the mattress fits properly within the bed frame and can be easily raised and lowered using the spring system. We recommend using a coil spring mattress as it will typically last longer in the upright storage position.
