Product Information
Full details
The Comfort Elise Ottoman Bed Base in Black is designed for those seeking a stylish and practical sleeping solution that maximizes bedroom storage. Its primary benefit is the effortless access to substantial under-bed storage, ideal for decluttering. A potential consideration is that larger sizes require a two-piece base, which might affect the uniformity of the storage space. Key features include a reinforced platform-top base with a smooth gas-lift mechanism, a 54-inch floor-standing winged headboard, and a selection of premium fabric finishes.

FAQs
How much weight can the ottoman gas lift support?
The gas-lift pistons are designed to support the weight of a standard mattress. For optimal performance, the mattress should weigh at least 40kg. Excessive weight could strain the pistons, while a very light mattress might not counterbalance sufficiently for smooth operation.
Do I need to assemble the bed frame myself?
Yes, the Comfort Elise Ottoman Bed Base requires self-assembly. Instructions and necessary fixings are provided. We recommend two people for assembly, especially for larger bed sizes.
What is the difference between the single and larger size bases regarding the ottoman storage?
The Single and Small Single sizes feature a one-piece ottoman base. Larger sizes (Double, King, Super King) have a two-piece ottoman base, which allows for easier handling and transport but means there will be a seam in the middle of the storage area.
Can I use any type of mattress with this ottoman base?
Yes, the base is compatible with most mattress types, including sprung, memory foam, and hybrid mattresses. However, as mentioned, the mattress needs to have sufficient weight for the gas-lift mechanism to function smoothly.
How do I clean the fabric upholstery?
Regularly vacuum the fabric with an upholstery attachment. For spills or stains, use a damp cloth with a mild upholstery cleaner, blotting gently. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Does the headboard attach directly to the wall?
No, the 54" headboard is a floor-standing design and attaches directly to the bed base frame, providing stability and structure.
What are the dimensions of the internal storage space?
The internal storage depth is approximately 20-25cm, providing ample space for bedding and other storage needs. Specific dimensions may vary slightly by bed size.
Troubleshooting
Ottoman gas lift is difficult to open or close
Ensure the mattress is correctly positioned and has adequate weight. Check that nothing is obstructing the mechanism. If the mattress is very light, consider a mattress retention strap or gas struts with lower pressure.
Base creaks or makes noise
Check that all bolts and fixings are securely tightened. Ensure the base is on a level surface. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to any metal-on-metal contact points if the noise persists.
Headboard is wobbly
Verify that the headboard bolts are fully tightened and that the headboard is correctly aligned with the base fixings.
Storage area has a seam (larger sizes)
This is normal for two-piece ottoman bases (King, Super King). Ensure the two halves of the base are correctly joined for maximum stability.
Fabric appears discolored or stained
Refer to the 'Care' section for appropriate cleaning methods for your fabric type. Always test cleaning products on an hidden area first.
