Product Information
Full details
The Birlea Aspen Ottoman Bed in Grey is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to maximize bedroom utility through discreet, high-capacity under-bed storage without sacrificing a modern aesthetic. Featuring a convenient gas-lift mechanism and a supportive sprung slatted base, this king-size frame offers a clutter-free solution for storing bedding or seasonal items, though users should note that the lifting mechanism requires a mattress of a specific weight to function correctly and is not suitable for extremely deep, heavy mattresses.

FAQs
What is the maximum mattress weight allowed?
The mechanism is designed for mattresses weighing up to 45kg.
Can I use a mattress deeper than 23cm?
It is not recommended, as a deeper mattress may interfere with the closing of the frame or exceed the load capacity of the lifting system.
Is the floor under the bed protected?
The ottoman base typically includes a bottom fabric lining to keep stored items off the floor.
What is the total weight capacity of the bed?
The frame supports a maximum load capacity of 350kg.
How do I clean the grey fabric?
Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment for dust; spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, avoiding saturated surfaces.
Do I need tools to assemble the bed?
Standard hand tools are generally required; check the included manual for a complete list of necessary equipment.
Troubleshooting
The ottoman base won't stay down
The base requires the weight of a mattress to function; ensure a mattress weighing up to 45kg is installed.
The base is difficult to lift
Check that the gas pistons are correctly attached and ensure the mattress depth does not exceed the recommended 23cm.
The frame feels unstable
Verify that all bolts are fully tightened and the bed is positioned on a level floor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly of the Aspen Ottoman should be completed by two adults, following the provided instructions carefully to ensure all fittings are secure. Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface to prevent uneven strain on the gas pistons. For compatibility, ensure your mattress is a UK standard King size and does not weigh more than 45kg to maintain the efficacy of the lift mechanism. To care for the bed, periodically check and tighten all bolts after the initial settling period of one month. Dust the fabric upholstery with a soft brush attachment and avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water for cleaning.
