Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- 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).
- Clear Workspace: Set up in a spacious, clear area to make assembly easier.
- Follow Instructions: Refer to the detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions provided with your bed.
- Assemble Framework: Begin by constructing the robust steel framework according to the guide.
- Install Gas-Lift Pistons: Attach the gas-lift mechanisms, ensuring they are correctly oriented and securely fastened.
- Place Sprung Slats: Secure the eight-ply poplar sprung slats into position within their holders.
- 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.
