A Wall Bed for Every Season

Wall beds are stylish–and space-saving!

Folding wall beds are made to provide a practical solution to your space-saving and organizational needs. The way in which your wall bed will be installed in your home depends on the amount of floor space you have to work with as well as the ceiling height. Today, there is a wall bed suited to practically any situation, so it's important to know exactly how your new wall bed should be mounted.

Stay Grounded

The first option for installing either a horizontal or a vertical wall bed is to mount it directly to the floor. In fact, systems that use spring mechanisms generally require that the unit be drilled straight into the floor. You can be assured that your wall bed will stay stable and will be a true fixture in your home, but remember that when mounting to the floor, a solid surface is absolutely necessary and any carpeting will have to be cut away.

Preserve your flooring

If the thought of permanently marking your floor doesn't appeal to you, you might consider a false floor option. A folding wall bed is mounted on a specifically cut piece of plywood, which is then attached to the baseboards or a wall preserving the appearance of your flooring.

Mounting your folding bed to the wall

Lastly, folding wall beds can also be mounted to your wall. In case you ever consider redecorating, your wall mount system can be moved much more easily than floor mount systems, with little or no damage to the structure of your room. The most common way to mount a folding wall bed to the wall is simply by finding three studs and screwing the back panel of the bed onto the studs to attach it securely. Before drilling, explore all your options of where to mount your new folding wall bed and you'll be even happier with the final result.
