Assembly Tips
ASSEMBLY TIPS
We recommend that
two people assemble
our products.
Throughout these
instructions you’ll be
tasked with moving
parts, which can
sometimes be heavy.
Always take proper
precautions when
lifting heavy objects
and use at least
two people when
necessary.
When you’re ready
to begin assembly,
always give yourself
su cient time so that
you won’t be distracted
during assembly.
Assembly time can
vary greatly from
person-to-person as
everyone has di erent
skill levels using hand-
tools. The normal time
for assembling this
product is between 3.5-
7 hours, however your
time may vary from
this depending on how
your bed is con gured
and external factors
such as how level your
 oor is.

6Unpacking Your BredaBed & Frequently Asked Questions
I’m missing parts/hardware not included with my bed.
If you suspect anything is missing, take inventory of the parts you do have using
the part/hardware lists and note any other parts/hardware you may be missing.
Often times, parts or hardware can get misplaced and will turn up later, so double
check your work area and any other places it may be. If you still cannot  nd it,
contact us and we’ll be glad to send you more parts/hardware, be sure to have
your order number ready and a list of all missing parts/hardware.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I have damaged parts on my bed, what do I do?
As soon as you do  nd damage, send us an email at [email protected] with
pictures of the damaged areas, part name(s) (found on the part label), provide
your order number and any other additional information. We give remake parts
a priority, and they can typically be sent to you within a few days after you notify
us, but be sure to notify us immediately. Note: We provide a touch-up crayon,
matching the color of your bed in hardware package #10 to  x minor chips on the
edges of the panels.
I’m finished with assembly, but I have extra parts leftover.
This is normal, we provide extra hardware with each bed model as a convenience.
Once assembled, you can discard this additional hardware.
Why don’t the illustrations match my parts?
The illustrations in the booklet match a Full size. If your bed is di erent than
this, the illustrations may be slightly di erent, however installation is identical. In
addition to this, sometimes elements in the illustrations are not shown for clarity.
UNPACKING YOUR BREDABED
When you  rst receive your BredaBed, it will be loaded on a pallet with banding. This
banding can be cut carefully with a utility knife and the individual pieces can be carried to
where the bed will be assembled. When handling panels, take special precaution to avoid
scratching and chipping on the corners and side edges. If the bed won’t be assembled for
an extended period of time, store the panels  at on the ground on top of a soft surface,
such as a rug or carpet. Usually, when parts or hardware are reported as missing, they
are usually just misplaced and turn up later, so be sure to keep all hardware and boxes
together. Inspect the panels for damage and take inventory using the “Parts List” on the
following pages to verify you have everything. When you’re ready to begin assembly,
have all parts, hardware and tools in your work area. Do not unpack hardware until
instructed to do so. Additionally, keep children and pets away from work area
during assembly for their safety.
What is the maximum mattress thickness I can use?
Our beds are designed for U.S. mattress sizes up to 11” thick.
match a Twin size.

Troubleshooting
The bed doors hit the Toe Kick when opened.
This can happen for several dierent reasons:
• The most common scenario happens before the bolt in hole B has been
inserted. Before the bolt in hole B is inserted, the bed doors are pivoting on
the bolt in hole A, then once that bolt is inserted and tightened, the doors will
fully be attached to the mechanism arms, changing the pivot point further back
inside the Bed Cabinet. If this matches your situation, remove the Toe Kick until
assembly has been completed. Once completed, you can re-attach the Toe Kick
by opening the bed and tightening the cams on the Toe Kick from the back side.
• The Toe Kick may have been attached upside down. The bottom of the Toe Kick
should be ush with the bottoms of the sides. If there is a 1/4” dierence, ip
the Toe Kick around and tighten the cams.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the notch wasn’t customized during ordering, you can notch the wood panels
with a saw. Alternatively, you can remove or notch the baseboard.
The Bed Cabinet hits my baseboard.
The mattress and bedding should be in place to determine the proper spring
tension. See Chapter 5, Step 4 for spring adjustment. If the bed won’t close all the
way, check to make sure your mattress is no more than 11” thick on the bottom
bunk and 8” on the top. You may have to move your pillows closer to the Leg End
of the bed so that when closed, the pillows will be higher than the headboard
which sits at an angle to minimize the gap between the wall and mattress.
The bed doesn’t stay closed/open.
Light gauge steel studs: Stack the screws provided so each stud has 2 screws
separated by at least an inch of vertical spacing.
Heavy gauge steel studs: Follow the directions above for light gauge steel studs,
but use #8 x 2 1/2” (or greater) self-taping sheet metal screws.
Masonry: Contact us to discuss attachment.
I don’t have wood studs in my wall to attach the Bed Cabinet to.
If you have 3 studs, stack the screws in the nailers so each stud has 2 screws
separated by at least an inch of vertical spacing. If you have less than 3 studs,
contact us to discuss attachment.
I have 3 or less stud locations to attach the Bed Cabinet to.
The Bed Cabinet bottom needs to be moved left or right. See Chapter 5, Step 2.
The Bed Face Panel is not even side-to-side or the legs hit left/right side.

PREPARING THE WORK AREA
Use the dimensions below to clear a wall area where the bed be attached. The
middle of the room should also be clear and you should have all parts, hardware
and tools in your work area.
UNDERSTANDING CAM FITTINGS
The unit is assembled using what’s known
as cam ttings. This system allows for
easy and exact alignment of parts and
are what secures the bed pieces together.
There are two parts to this system: the
cam ttings (Fig. A) found in hardware
package #6 and cam screws (Fig. B) found
in hardware package #1. When inserting
cam ttings, it’s important to properly align the at part of the tting with
the edge of the board (Fig. C). Cam ttings are tightened by inserting a #1
Phillips screwdriver at a slight angle through the top hole and twisting until
snug (Fig. D). Once tightened, cam ttings have an equal holding strength
as screws. Never use an electric drill to
tighten cam ttings, always hand-tighten.
FIG. A FIG. B
FIG. C FIG. D
Turn cam ttings clockwise until snug,
being careful not to over-tighten
which can cause breakage.

Bed Size Spring Quantity Hole Numbers
Twin 4 or 5 spring per side Holes 3 through 6 (4 springs) OR Holes 3 through 7 (5 springs)
Twin X-Long 5 or 6 spring per side Holes 3 through 7 (5 springs) OR Holes 2 through 7 (6 springs)
*Please note: These are recommendations only, the actual quantity needed will vary depending on the
weight of the mattress including all bedding. We recommend starting with the higher quantity springs
shown in the table for your bed size. Adjustment will be done later at the end of this booklet.
There are 9 Spring
locations. Referring to the
spring application chart
and Fig. 1C-1F, insert
springs into the hole
numbers noted for the
amount of springs you will be using. Position
the spring with the open side of the hook
facing down as shown in green and hook it
into stationary portion of the mechanism slot
as shown in blue. Rotate the spring 180° (so
the open side of the hook is now facing up)
and hook the opposite side into the corresponding hole on the movable portion
of the mechanism as shown in orange. You’ll need to rotate the mechanism arm
forwards or backwards as you go to keep tension on the springs you’ve inserted
and to create the proper spacing for the spring you’re working on. Start with the
higher quantity of springs listed for your bed size, you may have to add or remove
springs depending on the weight of your mattress.
STEP 3
FIG. 1C
For video instructions of this specic step, visit: breda.us/springs
FIG. 1D FIG. 1E FIG. 1F
We recommend you start adding springs toward to the top of the mechanism rst (at
or near hole #9) and work your way down, adjusting the mechanism arm as you go
to keep tension on the existing springs. Once nished, you can place a shim under
the springs temporarily to keep the springs from falling out of place.

with notch for the
baseboard facing
up and position the
top assembly from
previous step and “Bed Cabinet Toe
Kick” as shown with “Bed Cabinet Toe
Kick” closest to the wall where bed will
be attached. Slide in direction of arrows
and tighten all cam ttings. The Toe Kick
cams face up and tighten from the top
side. The unnished side of the Toe Kick
will be exactly ush with the unnished

and aligned to this back edge of the “Bed Cabinet Top” as
illustrated below. Reverse the top nailer if the edges don’t
align (the cams are oset to one side).
STEP 1
OVERVIEW: In the following steps, you’ll assemble the Bed Cabinet on the oor,
then once assembled, tilt the Bed Cabinet up. To do this, you’ll need at least 3
extra inches of height clearance. If the height of your room is shorter than this,
you’ll have to assemble the Bed Cabinet vertically.

connecting cam screw.
Are all cam fittings locked?
• Cam ttings on the Top/Bottom Nailers, Headboard and Toe Kick
should face the wall and NOT be visible from the front.
• Cam ttings on the Bed Cabinet Top should face down and WILL be
visible from below.
If any of these parts are backwards, they must be ipped around.
Are cams facing down or the wall?
If you have any question, contact us (phone: [phone], email:
[email protected] or live chat: https://bredabeds.com) before proceeding.
*** STOP - SAFETY CHECKLIST ***
The items listed on this page are some of the most common errors during assembly
and can lead to structural failure of the Murphy Bed if not done properly.
DO NOT PROCEED PAST THIS PAGE WITHOUT FIRST VERIFYING THE FOLLOWING:
During & after tipping up, do not apply upward pressure to any horizontal panels.

18 Chapter 3: Attaching the Bed Cabinet to the wall.
Chapter 3: Attaching the Bed
Cabinet to the wall.
REQUIRED TOOLS REQUIRED HARDWARE
• Hardware Package #10
• Cordless Drill and/or Impact Driver
• #3 Phillips Bit
• 3/16” Drill Bit
• Countersink (or 3/8” Drill Bit)
• Stud Finder
• Level
Begin by leveling the Bed Cabinet. Place a level on the top of the
Bed Cabinet in the center. If the horizontal bubble on the level is
touching the left mark, place a shim under the right side of the Bed
Cabinet. If the bubble is touching the right mark, place a shim under
the left side of the Bed Cabinet. The shim is tapered, so the further
in you slide the shim, the more it will raise that side of the bed. It
may be necessary to stack the shims for more height if the oor
varies greatly. Once the bubble is exactly centered between the marks, the bed is level.
Now you will want to “plumb” the bed. Place the level against one side of the bed. If the
vertical bubble on the level is touching the left mark, the top of the Bed Cabinet needs
to move to the left. If the bubble is touching the right mark, the top of the Bed Cabinet
needs to move to the right. Once the bubble is exactly centered, place a mark on the wall
at the top edge of the side panels so you can return the bed to this mark in case it moves
before the Bed Cabinet is fully attached.
STEP 1
At this time, don’t worry about shims sticking out on the sides of the Bed Cabinet.
Once assembly has been completed, the excess wood on the shims can be
carefully cuto with a utility knife.
OVERVIEW: Now that the Bed Cabinet is assembled, we’ll be attaching it to the
wall. This is a crucial chapter that must be followed carefully. If the Bed Cabinet is
improperly attached to the wall, the bed could collapse at a later time and could
result in serious injury.

19
Chapter 3: Attaching the Bed Cabinet to the wall.
FIG. 3A - DRYWALL CUTAWAY SHOWING WALL STUDS
Using a stud
nder, locate and
mark the exact
center of each
stud (see page 7
if you have 3 or
less stud locations)
along the “Bed
Cabinet Top
Nailer”. To do this,
slowly move the
stud nder from
left-to-right until
you locate the left
edge of the stud
and mark this
location. Then,
slowly move the
stud nder from
right to left until
you locate the
right edge of the
stud and mark this
location. Once you
have both edges of
the studs marked,
measure to the
exact center of
the stud.
STEP 2
Most wall studs are 1 1/2” wide and measure 16” on
center (center-to-center), or in some cases may measure
24” on center.
Pre-drill “Bed Cabinet Top Nailer” using a 1/8” drill bit at each stud
center and slightly countersink with a countersink bit or 3/8” drill
bit.
STEP 3

20 Chapter 3: Attaching the Bed Cabinet to the wall.
“Bed Cabinet Bottom Nailers” will be attached later (Chapter 5, Step 3).
“BED CABINET TOP NAILER” MUST BE FIRMLY ATTACHED
TO THE WALL, OTHERWISE CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE WILL
OCCUR DURING OPERATION OR WHILE BEING SLEPT ON!
It is the installers responsibility to make sure the bed
is securely attached to the wall, before proceeding
past this page, MAKE ABSOLUTE CERTAIN the Bed
Cabinet is rmly attached to the wall. Once the
Bed Face Panel is installed later, there will be in
excess of 200 pounds of force applied. DRYWALL
ANCHORS OR TOGGLE BOLTS INTO DRYWALL ONLY ARE
NOT ADEQUATE.
***INSUFFICIENT CONNECTIONS MAY RESULT***
***IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!***
Insert long screws (3”) from Hardware Package #10 at each
stud center and secure with a #3 Phillips bit. When inserting
screws, using a power impact driver rather than a drill can
greatly ease the process.
The instructions in this booklet are for attaching a
bed to wood wall studs. If your wall backing varies
from this, use appropriate connections. See the
Troubleshooting section on Page 7.
DO NOT attempt to proceed if the “Bed Cabinet Top
Nailer” is damaged or cracked. Contact BredaBeds
for a replacement.
STEP 4
Critical Step
To help achieve better alignment and to prevent the middle from bowing, apply
slight upward pressure until the top is level. We suggest using a long level or a
straight edge long enough to cover most of the length along the top shelf.
