Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
The Aspire Ottoman Storage Bed is designed for self-assembly. It is supplied flat-pack with all necessary components and instructions.
- Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all parts and lay them out, identifying each piece against the provided parts list.
- Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions to construct the steel framework. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened but do not overtighten initially.
- Install Slats: Attach the 8-ply poplar sprung slats to the frame. These usually clip into place or are secured with small plastic caps.
- Configure Gas Lift Mechanism: This is a crucial step. Decide which side you want the bed to open from (left or right). Install the gas lift pistons and the side-opening mechanism accordingly, as per the diagram. Ensure pistons are correctly oriented and secured.
- Attach Fabric Base: Secure the black fabric cloth to the bottom of the bed frame, creating the sealed storage area.
- Final Checks: Once assembled, check all fixings are tight and the gas lift mechanism operates smoothly.
*Approximate build time is 60-90 minutes.*
Compatibility
- Mattress: This bed is suitable for use with all standard UK size mattresses. Ensure your mattress matches the bed frame's size (e.g., King, Double, Small Double, Single). A mattress is *not* included with the bed frame.
Care Instructions
- Upholstery (Grey Linen):
- Regularly vacuum the linen fabric with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris.
- For spills, gently blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
- For tougher marks, a mild fabric cleaner designed for upholstery can be used, following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Frame & Mechanism:
- Periodically check all bolts and screws for tightness and re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Keep the gas lift pistons clean and free of obstructions. Do not apply oil or lubricants unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- General:
- Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials on any part of the bed.
