Murphy Bed Gas Struts for Reliable Wall Bed Lifting Solutions
Murphy beds require precise force control to safely lift and lower heavy mattress platforms. TieYing manufactures high-quality gas struts, gas shocks, and gas springs designed specifically for wall beds, providing smooth movement, stable support, and long service life.
With advanced manufacturing capabilities and custom force adjustment, we supply OEM solutions for furniture manufacturers, distributors, and brands worldwide.
Why Murphy Beds Need Specialized Gas Struts？
Murphy beds are different from ordinary furniture because the lifting mechanism must repeatedly support a heavy mattress, frame, and bedding accessories.
Poor quality gas springs may cause:
1. Difficult lifting
An incorrect gas force rating makes the bed difficult to open or close.
2. Sudden movement
Low-quality gas shocks may create unstable movement and safety risks.
3. Short service life
Frequent daily operation requires durable sealing and reliable pressure performance.
TieYing designs gas springs according to the actual weight, installation angle, and operating requirements of each Murphy bed system.

How Gas Struts Work on Murphy Beds?
A Murphy bed gas strut uses compressed nitrogen gas inside a cylinder to generate controlled lifting force.
When the bed is lowered:
- The gas spring compresses
- The pressure increases
- The mechanism controls the movement
When opening:
- Stored gas pressure assists the lifting process
- Reducing manual effort
- Improving user safety
Murphy Bed Gas Strut Types We Manufacture
TieYing provides a wide range of gas spring solutions for different Murphy bed designs, helping furniture manufacturers achieve smooth lifting, controlled movement, and reliable long-term performance. Based on bed size, mattress weight, installation structure, and safety requirements, we can customize gas struts with different force levels, dimensions, and functions.
Standard Gas Springs
Reliable Lifting Support for Everyday Murphy Bed Applications
Standard gas springs are the most commonly used solution for residential Murphy beds and wall bed systems. They provide controlled lifting assistance, reducing the effort required to open and close the bed while ensuring smooth and stable movement.
These gas struts are designed for daily use in homes, apartments, guest rooms, and space-saving furniture systems.
Suitable for:
- Home Murphy beds

TieYing can calculate the required gas force based on the mattress weight, bed frame structure, and installation position to ensure optimal performance.
Lockable Gas Springs
Enhanced Safety and Position Control for Advanced Murphy Bed Designs
Lockable gas springs include an additional locking mechanism that helps hold the bed securely in a specific position. This feature provides extra safety and stability, especially for larger Murphy beds or applications where controlled positioning is required.
When the bed reaches the desired position, the locking system prevents unwanted movement and improves user safety.
Suitable for:
- Heavy-duty Murphy beds

TieYing can supply stainless steel gas springs with different tube sizes, rod diameters, and mounting fittings according to customer requirements.
Adjustable Gas Springs
Flexible Support for Different Mattress Weights and Bed Designs
Adjustable gas springs allow manufacturers to fine-tune the lifting force according to different bed configurations. This is especially useful for Murphy beds with various mattress thicknesses, materials, or changing product models.
Instead of using one fixed force value, adjustable solutions provide greater flexibility during product development and assembly.
Suitable for:
- Different mattress weights
- Multiple Murphy bed models
- OEM furniture production
- Customized wall bed mechanisms
- Product development testing
Key advantages:
- Adjustable lifting force
- Easier adaptation to different bed designs
- Reduces product adjustment time

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What gas struts do I need for a Murphy bed?
The correct gas strut depends on mattress weight, bed size, pivot position, and opening angle. TieYing can calculate the required gas force based on your design.
How strong should Murphy bed gas shocks be?
The required force varies depending on the bed structure. Most applications require customized gas springs rather than universal sizes.
Can you manufacture custom Murphy bed gas springs?
Yes. TieYing provides OEM gas spring manufacturing based on customer drawings, dimensions, and force requirements.
How long do Murphy bed gas struts last?
High-quality gas springs can support thousands of operating cycles when correctly designed and installed.
How do I know what force strut my Murphy bed needs?
It’s calculated from the panel weight, hinge-to-center-of-gravity distance, and the strut’s mounting angle. Contact us with your dimensions and we’ll return a force recommendation.
Why won’t my Murphy bed stay down?
The strut force is too high for the panel weight at the open position — the spring is lifting the bed off the floor. The fix is a lower-force strut or a mounting adjustment, not a “stronger” one.
Why does my bed drop when closing?
The strut has lost pressure or the force is too low. Gas struts cannot be re-gassed; replacement is the only safe option.
Can I replace just one strut?
No. For a two-strut system, both must be replaced as a matched pair. A new strut paired with an old one will have different force, causing uneven loading and racking.
