Used the Create-a-bed kit from Rockler

Here's a queen size one I finished last year, also using the Rockler
hardware.
Thanks Doug, now I can see the photos. Question :I never had a
Murphy bed, how does the mattress and blankets stay in place when
closing the bed?? WW



The mattress is in a shallow box and has elastic straps at the corners
of the foot to keep it from tilting out when in the upright position.
We keep sheets on the bed, but put blankets and pillows on after it is
a horizontal position.

It depends probably on the actual fit of the mattress plus sheets and
blankets in the box, but in our case of a twin bed with its long side
along the wall, everything stays on this child's bed - no problem. The
mattress we bought from IKEA fits snugly enough.
