Full details
The Limelight Carmen Ottoman Fabric Bed Frame in Grey is an ideal solution for homeowners seeking to maximize bedroom organization without sacrificing style. Perfect for those who appreciate contemporary aesthetics, this bed features a sophisticated geometric headboard and luxurious velvet upholstery. Its primary benefit is the generous under-bed storage space accessed via an efficient ottoman mechanism; however, users should note that the bed requires a mattress weighing at least 30kg to ensure the ottoman lid stays securely closed when not in use.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the bed?
The bed measures approximately 157cm in width, 213cm in length, and features a headboard height of 120cm.
Does this bed come with a mattress?
No, the mattress is not included. You must provide a King-sized mattress that weighs at least 30kg.
What is the fabric made of?
The bed is upholstered in 100% recycled low-carbon velvet fabric.
Is the bed difficult to assemble?
The bed requires assembly. Due to the size and the nature of the ottoman mechanism, we recommend two people for a safe and efficient setup.
How do I clean the velvet material?
Use a vacuum with an upholstery brush to remove surface dust. Use a clean, dry cloth to blot spills without scrubbing.
What is the gap between the slats?
The slats have a 6cm gap, which is designed to provide optimal support and breathability for your mattress.
Troubleshooting
Ottoman lid keeps lifting on its own
Your mattress is likely lighter than the required 30kg. Adding a heavier mattress or increasing the weight on the base will resolve this.
Slat seems loose or is making noise
Check that the slat end caps are snapped firmly into the metal frame and ensure the slats are fully seated within the caps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Ensure you have at least two people available for assembly, as the ottoman frame components are substantial. Check that you have adequate floor clearance for the full length (213cm) and width (157cm) of the frame. Follow the included manual to attach the slat system securely using the provided caps.
Compatibility
This bed fits a standard King-sized mattress. Always confirm that your mattress meets the minimum weight requirement of 30kg. If your current mattress is lighter, you may need to utilize a mattress topper or base pad to reach the necessary weight to keep the mechanism stable.
Care
To maintain the velvet upholstery, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub the velvet, as this can damage the pile. Periodically check that all slat caps are firmly seated to prevent any creaking or loss of support.
