FAQs
What is the main benefit of a platform-top base?
A platform-top base provides a solid, even surface that supports your mattress uniformly, preventing sagging and extending mattress life compared to slatted bases.
Does this bed base come with a mattress?
No, the bed base is sold separately and does not include a mattress. You will need to purchase a double mattress to complete the bed.
How high is the bed from the floor?
The height from the floor to the top of the base platform is approximately 13 inches. The headboard adds an additional 26 inches in height.
Can I assemble this bed base myself?
Yes, the Ashford Bed Base is designed for self-assembly and includes all necessary fixings and instructions. It typically requires two people for easier handling.
What maintenance is required for the chrome gliders?
The chrome gliders should be kept clean and free from dirt or debris to protect your flooring and ensure easy movement of the bed.
Can I add drawers under this base?
This specific model, the Ashford Bed Base, features a drawer-free design and does not have provisions for adding under-bed drawers.
What is the warranty period for the Sloomy Ashford Bed Base?
Please refer to the product packaging or contact the retailer for specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.
Troubleshooting
Bed base creaks or makes noise
Ensure all bolts and fixings are tightened securely. Check that the mattress is centered and not shifting excessively on the platform. If the noise persists, check the floor surface for unevenness.
Headboard feels unstable
Verify that the headboard bolts connecting it to the base are fully tightened. For maximum stability, consider securing the headboard to the wall using appropriate wall anchors (not included), especially on carpeted floors or if the headboard is frequently leaned upon.
Gliders leave marks on the floor
Clean the chrome gliders regularly to remove any grit or debris. If the floor is particularly sensitive, consider placing thin felt pads under the gliders for added protection.
Difficulty attaching headboard
Confirm you are using the correct bolts and aligning the headboard with the pre-fitted metal clips on the base. Ensure there are no obstructions. Consult the assembly manual for specific diagrams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Ashford Bed Base is designed for straightforward assembly. Typically, this involves attaching the headboard and footboard to the main base structure using the provided bolts and fixings. The pre-fitted metal clips simplify alignment. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened. The chrome gliders should be attached to the bottom of the base frame. Always refer to the specific instruction manual included with your product for detailed steps.
Compatibility: This bed base is compatible with all standard double mattresses. It is designed to be used without a box spring, as the platform top provides the necessary support.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your bed base, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For fabric sections, use a mild upholstery cleaner and a damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the gliders remain clean to prevent scratching floors.
