Wall-bed & Murphy-bed gas springs

Start with the wall-bed mechanism reference and the original piston marking. Compare published foldaway-bed examples, then confirm the length, connection geometry and spring quantity for your assembly.

Wall & foldaway beds — full furniture model with gas spring position highlighted in red
APPLICATION MODEL · Red highlights the gas spring position. Mounting layout varies by mechanism.
WHERE IT WORKS

Between the fixed cabinet-side mechanism and the rotating bed-frame linkage.

Balances part of the rotating bed load through its opening and closing path. The exact spring arrangement belongs to the specific bed mechanism.

Eyelet end fittings; the pivot bore and final mounting centres are matched to the mechanism
Connection detail: threaded eyelet end fittings. Match the pivot bore, thread, width and mounting-centre reference.

Vertical / lengthwise opening

A full-height bed rotates out from the wall cabinet.

Horizontal / crosswise opening

The bed rotates about its long side; use the matching mechanism specification.

Mechanism replacement

Send the mechanism brand/code and fitted piston details, not only the mattress size.
