-Wall Anchors for your wall type: ~12 are recommended with a strength rang of
at least 100+ lbs each
-Consider some extra wall brackets x 3 (simple L shape)
Maress: Recommended 50lbs + or you might need lighter pistons.
You should have a maress before you start the install so you can test it. If you
have a light maress, please contact us before you start in case you need weaker

We strongly recommend you watch the online video for key steps like installing
the pistons. We have a full video install online:
Important Notes & Tips for all installs:
1. Clear your room as much as possible before you start the install.
Unpacking the panels will take some me, longer than many expect, so
do this in advance of your install. You will need a power drill, screw
driver, wall anchors and a ladder.
2. All Hover & MurphySofa are do it yourself assembly and require wall
mounts. It is up to you to determine your wall type, make sure it is safe
and correctly mount the wall bed to your wall safely and properly. It is
best to hit studs if you have drywall and make sure to use the correct
wall anchors for your wall type. You can always install extra brackets and
anchors for added security and peace of mind. Your local hardware store
or your handyman/contractor should be able to advise on this.
3. Once you install the pistons there will be strong tension on the bed
frame. This is normal! Aer you have the face panel and the maress
the weight will be correct, and it will work properly with normal tension.
For this poron the metal frame should not be flush, but it should go
beyond flush (+3-5 inches) pushing inside the bed. Aer you add on the
face panel and maress it will move closer to flush and there will be ‘so
stoppers’ to hold it in place flush.
4. The Face Panel Clips that join the face panel to the bed frame might need
some minor adjusng. Install 1 face panel at a me and make sure it
looks straight. Adjust if needed.
5. Test both face panels by raising the bed up and making sure they look
good before drilling in the face panel to the frame. Make sure there is
good inwards pressure on the frame.
6. We suggest drilling every 2nd hole on the face panels so you have the
ability to use fresh holes for a future adjustment. (Back panel b2/b3
connecon also does not need every hole with a screw, just spread them
evenly unl you have used them all)
7. If you get stuck call or email us or hire a professional to finish off the job:

For some finishes there is a protecve plasc film over the panels. We suggest
removing the inside protecve plasc film layer before installing the panels.
You can leave the outside protecve layer on unl the end if you like,
or remove it now.
D9
Please check panels for damage in transit as soon as you receive the bed and well
before aempng installaon. Panels are boxed with the visual sides facing inwards.
Because of this If there is a light ding or scuff it will likely install with no visible
elements. See the Panel build below. Regardless contact us if you have an issue.

Make sure to evenly distribute these bolts around the bed unl you have
none le. You only need to install 3/4ths of these bolts. If you have trouble
threading a hole, skip it and move to the next one
(you can try this again later if you have le overs, the more that are in,
the easier it will be.)

Raise your bed, you should have at least 2 people liing for safety.
If you have cabinets, you can build them and place them now.

It is important to determine the type of wall you have, you should purchase anchors
/fasteners appropriate for your wall.
We do not provide anchors because there are a variety of wall types from concrete,
brick or drywall (with wood or steel studs) require different anchor types. You should
buy heavy duty anchors that have a high weight capacity (100+ lbs per anchor) and are
appropriate for your wall type. Please consult your local hardware store or handyman.
"We provide 3 brackets which allow for 4 anchors each. You can place them on le
and right side of the bed. They are flexible so you can line them up with your studs
(if you have drywall) where you place them. It is best to place them wider apart and
evenly spaced. We strongly suggest adding a few more simple brackets with extra
anchors in the middle for some added security"

Piston install
The pistons do not compress by hand.
They need to be placed fully extended into the
bed after the frame is set in the correct position.
When you install this Gas Piston make sure
you push the bed frame inwards, beyond flush,
so that it is inset at least 4 inches. This creates
inwards pressure. Don't worry, later you will add
on a stopper to the top of the bed and the face
panel will be flush.
Once the bed is set at the right position
(4 inches pushed inwards at the top) you can
attach the pistons to the sides. The top caps can
rotate in either direction to elongate or contract
slightly so that you can make them fit at the
correct inset position.
We have an online video guide for this sent by
email you can watch.
