In the quest for maximizing space without compromising on comfort, wall beds have become a go-to solution for many homeowners. Whether you're a considering a minimalist wall bed, one with an integrated sofa, or a bed/desk combination, a common question arises: "Are Murphy beds safe?" At Resource Furniture we prioritize not only the aesthetic and functional features of our wall beds, but also their uncompromising safety features.
Safety Starts with Quality Manufacturing
Not all Murphy beds are created equal, and safety depends significantly on the build-quality from a trusted manufacturer. That's why Resource Furniture exclsuively sources all wall beds from Clei, the original manufacturer of transformable furniture in Italy. Clei's proprietary mechansims are globally renowned for their precision engineering, ensuring smooth operation and exceptional durability.
As the exclusive distributor of Clei products in North America, Resource Furniture guarantees that every wall bed meets the highest safety and quality standards. Each unit is meticulously designed, rigorously tested, and built to provide a safe and reliable sleeping solution that is accessible for people of all ages, including children and older adults.
Patented Technology to Ensure Smooth Operation
Our wall beds feature advanced piston-lift and coutnerbalanced mechanisms that make them extremely easy to operate. The piston system makes manually raising and lowering a Murphy bed effortless, and you can even customize your wall bed to come motorized for added convenience.
- Safety Locks: You can sleep well knowing that a Resource Furniture wall bed is as safe as any other type of bed. All of our wall beds come with automatically locking legs to secure the bed in its open position, ensuring it won't close up on its own once installed. Similarly, each wall bed locks into the frame when closed, so you know it'll stay in place when you're not using it. You may also look for a Murphy bed with key locks for additional security.
- Cable-Assist Mechansims: Our Murphy beds raise and lower using a concealed piston or cable-assist mechanism to ensure they stay upright and safely laid down for sleeping. As the bed is opened, it naturally pauses a few centimeters from the frame at a secure intermediate position. This safety feature allows you to comfortably position yourself to guide the bed down to its fully open position. The piston system is quieter and smoother than older spring systems, and use high-pressure air on a piston head to lower the bed slowly.
- Obstacle Detection: Motorized models include advanced sensors that detect obstacles, preventing the bed from opening or closing when something is in its path. This features is particularly beneficial for households with children and pets.
Rigorous Testing and Compliance with Industry Safety Standards
All Resource Furniture wall beds are manufactured just outside Milan using eco-friendly, non-toxic materials such as CARB2-compliant panels, water-based lacquers, and 100% biodegradable mattresses. Laser welded edges eliminats the need for strong adhesives, significantly reducing the risk of off-gassing while ensuring a cleaner, eco-friendly construction.
Each product undergoes stringent safety tests to ensure it meets or exceeds industry standards. From high-frequency usage tests to robuts construction methods, each component of a wall bed from Resource Furniture is built to minimize the risk of mechanical failure. This approach ensures that our wall beds are not only exceptionally safe but also designed for lasting durability, reflected by our lifetime warrant on all wall bed mechansims.
