Choosing the right mattress for your Lori Bed is essential for both comfort and smooth operation. Here are the key factors to consider:
Mattress Compatibility: The Lori Bed and the Lori Mattress are designed to work perfectly together. The Lori Mattress is calibrated for the Lori Bed’s double-chamber gas-piston mechanism, ensuring effortless lifting and lowering.
Mattress Thickness: The Lori Bed is designed to accommodate a mattress up to 10 inches thick. A thicker mattress may interfere with the bed’s ability to close properly.
Mattress Weight: Since the Lori Bed relies on gas pistons for smooth operation, the weight of your mattress is important.
- The Lori Mattress weighs ~50 lbs for a Twin and ~77 lbs for a Queen, making it the ideal choice.
- We recommend using a Queen mattress that is between 70-130 lbs.
- We recommend using a Twin mattress that is between 45-95 lbs.
Mattress Type: The Lori Bed is compatible with most mattress types, including memory foam, hybrid, and latex foam. These materials offer excellent support and flexibility, making them ideal for Murphy bed storage.
Edge Support: A mattress with strong edge support prevents sagging when stored vertically. The Lori Mattress features reinforced edges and a hand-tufted finish for durability and long-term performance.
Why Choose the Lori Mattress?
While other mattresses can be used, the Lori Mattress is specifically designed for Murphy beds, offering:
✅ Perfect weight balance for the Lori Bed’s lifting mechanism
✅ Organic cotton cover, cooling gel foam, and CertiPUR-US® certified foam for a comfortable, safe sleep
✅ Superior edge support to maintain shape and durability over time
In summary, while the Lori Bed is compatible with many mattress types, the Lori Mattress is the best option for optimal comfort, durability, and ease of use.
