Our FAQs

View all FAQs Arrow Right

The YouLift 2.0 Bed does not have any spring or piston lifting assistance. The platform, which holds the mattress, is connected to the cabinet with the Alignment Hinge. You lift the platform with the strength of yourself and a partner along this guide hinge, and it nests and locks into the cabinet. This allows the YouLift bed to be more affordable and easier to assemble compared to lift-assisted beds.

While some strong individuals will be able to lift and lower the YouLift 2.0 Bed by themselves, we recommend two able-bodied adults lift and lower together. The bed should not be operated by children, pregnant women, or anyone who isn’t sure about their physical ability.

Our Murphy beds and other products are usually in-stock and ready to ship within 1-2 business days. FedEx orders arrive at your doorstep, typically 3 to 7 business days after they ship. Large orders may ship via freight instead, which typically takes 3 to 5 business days to process and 7 to 10 business days in transit, with delivery by appointment.

Any items being restocked will show an estimated ship time before you place your order.

Yes, you don’t need a professional to assemble or install a YouLift 2.0 Bed. Each step is simple and is clearly shown in our assembly instructions and step-by-step videos. The process takes 6-8 hours (or a full day), and it helps to have a second set of hands here and there, but you don’t need any special skills or tools.

The YouLift 2.0 Bed works with any mattress up to 12" thick and as light as possible (since the YouLift 2.0 bed doesn't have a lifting mechanism).

We recommend the YouLift Mattress, the mattress we designed from scratch to be comfortable, long-lasting, and easy to lift in the YouLift bed.

The YouLift 2.0 Bed must be securely anchored to the wall to prevent tipping. Do not use the bed if it is not anchored to the wall.

We provide wood screws for mounting into wood or metal studs, and toggle bolts for mounting into drywall. If you have another type of wall, consult a contractor or your local hardware store for the appropriate hardware.

    Great option to get our basement back

    We needed a horizontal option because the ceilings in our basement are too low. The Horizontal You Lift Queen was a perfect option -- fit perfectly, tucks away nicely, and allows us to give a "real" mattress to our guests when they visit.

    Just what we were looking for!

    We did a lot of research before deciding on a Murphy bed for our New York apartment, and there are a lot of great options out there. After looking at so many different choices, this is ultimately what we settled on, and we’re really happy with it. I especially love that you the shelf and that the shelf also serves as the base. it also does not damage the floor to lift it up and down. It has felt.

    Putting it together is not simple, but I do think two people can handle it if at least one of them is pretty handy. I highly recommend having a drill or screw gun with a screw attachment. Technically, you could probably assemble it without one, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

    If you live in a pre-war apartment, there’s one more thing to keep in mind: your moldings may sit very high on the floor. Ours did, so we had to cut around them. We used a handsaw for that, and it wasn’t a huge deal, but it was something we hadn’t anticipated.

    Because our walls are concrete, we also had to purchase concrete anchors to secure the bed to the wall. Again, it wasn’t a big deal, but it’s definitely something to plan for ahead of time.

    Once the bed was assembled, I put on the mattress I had ordered in advance. I believe the bed can accommodate a mattress up to 80 pounds, and ours is very close to that limit. It works perfectly fine, but if I were doing it all over again, I would probably choose a lighter mattress.

    That said, our guests are going to be extremely comfortable. It’s a…

    Perfect guest bed!

    We love our LoriBed Youlift for our small second bedroom that doubles as an office. Our guests so far have said it’s great to sleep on and we love that we can put it away when it’s not in use!

    So Cozy

    The Lori Bed was a great addition to our spare bedroom. It makes the space so versatile and allows us to use the bedroom as we see fit. Our first guests described the bed as cozy and shared it was very comfortable. The hardest part was deciding on a color (and putting it together) but overall very happy with our purchase.

    Great looking, sturdy, and comfortable

    The bed was a beast to put together but it’s worth it for the quality. I’ve already had two guests sleep on it and both said it was super comfortable. It looks great folded up in my guest room/office and I’m so happy I bit the bullet and went with Lori Beds. The quality is there and for any bed, that’s worth its weight in gold.
