Murphy bed fit planner
The planner compares a room's wall length, depth and ceiling height with the published dimensions of 84 wall beds. It draws the open bed to scale with the door swing. A dimension the manufacturer does not list is shown as not listed.
All beds, most space at the foot first
Checks the planner runs
- Wall. The bed's overall width must fit the wall length. Side cabinets are counted only where the listed width includes them.
- Floor. Room depth minus the open projection is the space left at the foot. That space must meet the walkway selected.
- Ceiling. The ceiling must meet the manufacturer's minimum ceiling height where one is listed. Where none is listed, the planner compares the cabinet height with the ceiling and shows a warning, because the manufacturer has to confirm the ceiling height the bed needs.
- Door. A door that swings into the room is treated as a square as wide as the door. An open bed inside that square gets a warning.
- Desk models. Depth with the desk open plus the chair space must fit the room depth.
Baseboards, crown molding, outlets, vents and ceiling fans are not part of the calculation. The room measurements page lists them.
Wall anchoring must follow the manufacturer's install instructions. A professional installer is the safe choice for any wall in doubt.
