Product Information

Full details

The Birlea Phoenix Ottoman Storage Bed Frame in Small Double Blue is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish and practical sleeping solution with integrated storage. Its key benefit is the generous under-bed storage accessible via a gas-lift mechanism. A potential caveat is that the gas pistons require a mattress to be present on the bed to operate effectively. This bed frame offers a high-quality finish, robust construction from solid rubberwood (with MDF veneered or melamine side rails depending on the finish), and a sprung slatted base for enhanced comfort and support.

What material is the bed frame constructed from?

The frame is constructed from solid rubberwood. The oak option has MDF veneered side rails, and the white option features MDF Melamine side rails.

How much storage space does the Ottoman base provide?

The opening base provides substantial storage, ideal for bedding, clothes, or other household items, effectively utilizing the space under the mattress.

Is assembly required for this bed frame?

Yes, the bed frame requires assembly. It is recommended that two people undertake the assembly process.

Troubleshooting

Ottoman lid won't lift or is stiff

Ensure a mattress is correctly positioned on the bed frame. Check that no items are obstructing the storage area or the gas pistons. Verify all assembly steps related to the pistons have been followed precisely.

Bed frame feels unstable or squeaks

Check that all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Ensure the bed is on a level surface. Inspect the sprung slats for any damage or improper seating.

Gas pistons seem weak or don't hold the lid up

Confirm the mattress weight is within the specified limit (up to 45 kg). If the mattress is lighter than recommended, the pistons may struggle. Ensure the pistons are correctly installed as per the manual.

Difficulty aligning parts during assembly

Review the assembly manual carefully, paying close attention to diagrams. Loosen nearby screws slightly to allow for adjustment, then re-tighten once aligned. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly of the Birlea Phoenix Ottoman bed frame requires careful attention to the provided instructions. It is recommended that two people undertake the assembly process due to the size and weight of the components. Ensure all parts are accounted for before starting. The gas pistons should be attached following the specific steps in the manual, and importantly, a mattress must be placed on the bed for the pistons to function correctly upon initial setup and subsequent use.

Compatibility: This bed frame is designed exclusively for UK standard size mattresses. The recommended maximum mattress height is 23cm to ensure proper closure of the Ottoman lid and optimal function of the gas pistons. The frame's weight capacity is 350 kg, and it can support mattresses up to 45 kg.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your bed frame, clean surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check that all screws and fittings are securely tightened. For the Ottoman mechanism, ensure no obstructions are present before lifting or lowering the base.
