FAQs

What size mattress does this bed require?

This bed is specifically designed for a standard UK small double size mattress.

Is the bed difficult to assemble?

The bed is delivered flat-packed and requires self-assembly. The estimated build time is 60 to 90 minutes, and detailed instructions are included. Having a second person can significantly ease the process.

How much storage space does the ottoman provide?

The ottoman provides ample storage space beneath the entire mattress area. The exact internal dimensions will be slightly less than the mattress dimensions due to the frame, offering substantial room for bedding, clothing, or other items.

Can I use any mattress with this bed?

Yes, it is compatible with all standard UK-size mattresses. However, very heavy or unusually thick mattresses might affect the ease of lifting and lowering the ottoman mechanism, though it is designed for common mattress weights.

How do I clean the grey linen upholstery?

For routine cleaning, gently vacuum the linen upholstery using a brush attachment. For spills, spot clean immediately with a clean, damp cloth and a mild upholstery cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Does this bed come with a mattress?

No, the Aspire Small Double Grey Linen Side Opening Ottoman Storage Bed does not include a mattress. You will need to purchase one separately.

What are the benefits of the sprung slats?

The eight-ply poplar sprung slats provide a more responsive and comfortable sleep surface compared to solid slats. They also help to extend the lifespan of your mattress by allowing better air circulation and distributing weight more evenly.

Troubleshooting

Bed feels wobbly after assembly

Ensure all bolts and screws are securely tightened. Re-check each connection point according to the assembly instructions, paying close attention to the main frame joints.

Ottoman storage mechanism is difficult to lift or close

Verify that the gas-lift pistons are installed correctly and are not obstructed. Ensure the mattress is not excessively heavy for the mechanism; standard UK small double mattresses should be compatible. Distribute weight evenly when closing the bed base.

Slats keep coming out of their holders

Check that each slat is fully inserted into its plastic cap or holder. Ensure the bed frame is assembled evenly and is sitting flat on the floor, as unevenness can put undue stress on the slats. Replace any damaged slat caps if necessary. Info needed: [Contact manufacturer for replacement slat caps].

Fabric base for storage is ripped or damaged

While not usually affecting bed function, a damaged fabric base might compromise dust protection for stored items. Info needed: [Contact manufacturer for advice on repair or replacement part options].

Squeaking noises when moving on the bed

Tighten all frame connections, especially where the slats connect to the frame and where the headboard/footboard attach. If squeaking persists, check that the sprung slats are properly seated and consider applying furniture wax or silicone spray to specific metal-on-metal friction points (away from upholstery).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack All Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and verify them against the included parts list. Ensure you have all necessary tools (usually an Allen key is supplied, but a Phillips head screwdriver might be needed).
  2. Clear Workspace: Set up in a spacious, clear area to make assembly easier.
  3. Follow Instructions: Refer to the detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions provided with your bed.
  4. Assemble Framework: Begin by constructing the robust steel framework according to the guide.
  5. Install Gas-Lift Pistons: Attach the gas-lift mechanisms, ensuring they are correctly oriented and securely fastened.
  6. Place Sprung Slats: Secure the eight-ply poplar sprung slats into position within their holders.
  7. Attach Upholstered Sections: Fasten the buttoned headboard and matching footboard to the assembled base.

*Estimated build time is 60 to 90 minutes. Having a second person can significantly ease the process.*

Compatibility

  • This bed is designed to be compatible with all standard UK small double size mattresses. Please ensure your mattress dimensions match the bed frame for optimal fit and performance.

Care

  • Linen Upholstery: For general cleaning, gently vacuum the grey linen upholstery using a brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills or stains, use a clean, damp cloth with a mild upholstery cleaner. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure no discoloration occurs. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
  • Frame Care: Periodically check and tighten any bolts or screws to maintain the bed's structural integrity and prevent wobbling.
  • Gas-Lift Mechanism: Operate the gas-lift mechanism smoothly and avoid forcing it. Do not place excessive weight on the lifted bed base, as this can strain the pistons.
  • Fabric Base: Ensure the black fabric base protecting stored items remains intact. If it becomes torn, dust protection may be compromised.
