A wall bed’s weight depends on the size of the mattress and adjoining furniture pieces. The lightest no-frills twin-size beds weigh as little as 200 pounds, while king-size wall bed sets with storage furniture and shelving weigh up to 1,000 pounds. You may pay extra to have furniture shipped or delivered over a certain weight limit.
