We are the only Murphy Bed company on the market that has successfully eliminated the complex, cumbersome lifting mechanisms found in traditional Murphy Beds. The result is a more affordable product that doesn't compromise on quality. The Lori Bed simply "rolls" up and down along the rounded wooden rockers on the floor, which allows for seamless lifting and lowering of the mattress platform.
This design requires that two able-bodied adults lift and lower together and we strongly recommend against pregnant women and children operating the bed.
Note that the mattress platform is only connected to the wall cabinet when it's locked into place. Once that is unlocked, those two pieces will not be connected, and the platform can be manually maneuvered, giving you the ability to move it around to best fit your space!
