Building a wall bed (Murphy bed) or a table with Hafele hardware means choosing the fittings from Hafele's printed tables, and an order can easily miss a part that is sold separately. Below we go through those tables, the parts ordered separately and what each installation document covers.
Sources: Hafele's catalog The Complete Furniture and Cabinetry Hardware, 2026 edition, on hafele.com (page numbers refer to it), Hafele's product pages and the instructions named below. Item numbers are explained in our Hafele item numbers guide.
Hafele Murphy bed hardware: three wall bed systems
- Wall Bed Fitting Set 271.95.203 (pages 4.4-4.5): fittings for foldaway beds built to your own plan, with cabinet and bed box in 20 mm (25/32") wood.
- Wall Bed Kits 271.92.201 (twin), 271.92.202 (double or full) and 271.92.200 (queen) (pages 4.6-4.9): steel frames for vertical folding beds; page 4.6 gives a maximum mattress thickness of 254 mm (10").
- Hafele Dynamik 271.00.010 (twin), 271.00.011 (full) and 271.00.012 (queen) (pages 4.10-4.11): a completely assembled steel frame with wood slats and folding feet that extend when the bed is opened.
Wall Bed Fitting Set 271.95.203: sized by bed weight
Page 4.4 gives the internal cabinet dimensions: height = mattress length + 2 x bed frame thickness + 125 mm; width = mattress width + 2 x bed frame thickness + 54 mm.
Gas pistons are chosen by bed weight (bed box and slatted frame + mattress and bedding), 2 per bed (pages 4.4-4.5):
| Bed weight | Force | Item No. |
|---|---|---|
| 80 kg (176 lb) | 1500 N | 271.99.346 |
| 90 kg (198 lb) | 1700 N | 271.99.382 |
| 100 kg (220 lb) | 1900 N | 271.99.410 |
The set includes the foldaway fittings with pivot bearing, a positioning bolt for the gas pistons and 2 safety stops. Hafele's product page says gas pistons, angular feet (271.95.361) and retaining straps for bedding (271.87.920 to 271.87.922 by mattress width, page 4.5) are ordered separately.
Hafele Wall Bed Kits: twin, double or full, and queen
Each kit includes the frame, safety brackets, 2 gas pistons and mounting hardware (page 4.7):
| Size | Pistons | Item No. |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | 1200 N | 271.92.201 |
| Double or full | 1600 N | 271.92.202 |
| Queen | 1900 N | 271.92.200 |
Page 4.6 lists inside and outside cabinet measurements for each size. Page 4.8 gives weight parameters by size; for the queen: front panels 45 kg (100 lb), mattress 29-39 kg (65-85 lb), slats or plywood 14-16 kg (30-35 lb), combined lifting capacity 89-98 kg (195-220 lb). Hafele notes that the wall bed will not operate properly outside these weight ranges. For lighter or heavier mattresses or when front panels are used, the same page lists gas pistons from 1200 N (271.92.265) to 2200 N (271.92.275). Options include comfort slat systems, a cover cap and an extended leg for wall beds with bases or toe kicks, for mattresses up to 304 mm (12") (pages 4.8-4.9).
Hafele Dynamik: cabinet depth and pistons by mattress weight
Page 4.11 lists mattresses of 75" x 39" (twin), 75" x 54" (full) and 80" x 60" (queen). Inside cabinet depth = mattress thickness + 200 mm (7-7/8"); minimum cabinet depth 400 mm (15-3/4"). Pistons and cover caps are sold separately, and page 4.10 stresses that the weight of the mattress must be known before installation. Pistons, 2 per item (page 4.11):
| Pistons | Mattress | Item No. |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 N | 35-42 lb | 274.00.011 |
| 1200 N | 43-54 lb | 274.00.015 |
| 1400 N | 55-61 lb | 274.00.012 |
| 1600 N | 62-70 lb | 274.00.013 |
| 1800 N | 71-85 lb | 274.00.014 |
| 2000 N | 86-100 lb | 274.00.016 |
Page 4.10 and the instructions give a 35-85 lb piston range; page 4.11 adds the 86-100 lb pair.
Hafele bed brackets: Tommo is a bed connector
The catalog lists Tommo with the bed connectors (page 12.102): Tommo 271.09.910 comes with 2 left hand and 2 right hand brackets and 4 plates. Hafele's Tommo product page lists catalog page 12.102 as its document. More bed connectors: our connectors and shelf supports guide.
