FAQs

What size mattress does this bed require?

This Aspire Ottoman bed is a Small Double size and is compatible with all standard UK Small Double mattresses. Please check your mattress dimensions for a perfect fit.

Is assembly difficult?

The bed is delivered flat-packed and requires self-assembly. It comes with clear, step-by-step instructions, and the estimated build time is 60 to 90 minutes. Having two people for assembly can make the process smoother and faster.

How do I access the storage space?

The storage space is easily accessed by lifting the mattress base from the side. It features robust gas-lift pistons that assist in lifting and holding the base open securely, requiring minimal effort.

Can I place this bed against a wall?

Yes, you can place the bed against a wall. However, since it is a side-opening ottoman, ensure you have sufficient clearance on the side you intend to open for easy and full access to the storage compartment.

What are the benefits of sprung slats?

Sprung slats provide better support and comfort by adapting to your body's weight, offering a more responsive sleeping surface. They also promote airflow to the mattress, helping to keep it fresh and extending its lifespan.

Is the velvet fabric durable?

The grey plush velvet upholstery is designed to be hard-wearing. With proper care, such as regular light dusting or vacuuming and immediate blotting of spills, it will maintain its elegant appearance for a long time.

Does the bed frame come with a mattress?

No, the Aspire Small Double Grey Plush Velvet Side Opening Ottoman Storage bed frame is sold separately. You will need to purchase a standard UK Small Double mattress separately to complete your bed.

Is this bed safe for children?

The bed meets all UK FR (Fire Retardant) and safety standards. However, caution should always be exercised with the gas-lift mechanism, especially around young children, to prevent accidental entrapment or injury during operation.

Troubleshooting

Bed frame difficult to lift or won't stay open

Ensure the mattress is not too heavy or too light for the gas-lift pistons; they are designed for standard mattress weights. Check for any obstructions in the lifting mechanism. If it's a new bed, the pistons might need a few cycles to loosen up. If problems persist, double-check that the pistons were installed correctly during assembly according to the instructions.

Squeaking noises during use

Squeaks often originate from loose connections. Re-tighten all bolts and screws on the bed frame, especially those connecting the headboard, footboard, and side rails. Ensure the mattress is seated correctly on the slats. Sometimes, a thin cloth or felt pad placed between metal-on-metal contact points can help eliminate minor squeaks.

Stored items touch the floor or are dusty

Verify that the black fabric base is properly installed and secured within the ottoman frame. This base is specifically designed to prevent items from contacting the floor. If it's torn or dislodged, re-attach or repair it promptly. Ensure the storage area is regularly cleaned to prevent dust buildup, especially if the base is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care: Getting Started and Maintaining Your Bed

Setup Instructions

The Aspire Ottoman bed is delivered flat-packed for convenient transportation and requires self-assembly. The estimated build time is between 60 to 90 minutes. A comprehensive instruction manual is included in the packaging to guide you through each step. All necessary components and fittings will be provided. We recommend having a second person assist during assembly, especially when positioning larger components or attaching the gas-lift pistons.

Compatibility

This small double bed frame is designed to be compatible with all standard UK-size small double mattresses. Please ensure your mattress dimensions match the bed frame for a perfect fit and optimal performance of the gas-lift mechanism.

Care and Maintenance

  • Upholstery Care: For the grey plush velvet upholstery, regular light dusting with a soft brush or vacuuming with an upholstery attachment will help maintain its luxurious appearance. In case of spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the fabric.
  • Frame Care: Periodically check all assembly bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary using appropriate tools to maintain the structural integrity and stability of your bed frame.
  • Storage Area: Keep the storage area clean and dry. Avoid overloading the storage space, as this can strain the gas-lift mechanism and the bed frame. Distribute weight evenly if possible.
  • Gas-Lift System: Ensure nothing obstructs the gas-lift pistons when opening or closing the ottoman. Operate the mechanism smoothly and avoid forcing it, allowing the pistons to assist with the lift.
