Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all parts and ensure nothing is missing against the provided parts list. Keep packaging materials for potential return or disposal.
- Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions in your user manual. This typically involves attaching side rails to the headboard and footboard, then installing the centre support beam.
- Install Slats: Secure the sprung wooden slats into the designated holders on the side rails. Ensure they are evenly spaced and firmly in place.
- Attach Hydraulic Mechanism: Connect the hydraulic lifting arms to the frame and base as per instructions. It's crucial to follow these steps precisely for safe and smooth operation.
- Place Mattress: Once the frame is fully assembled and stable, carefully place your single 3ft mattress on top of the slats.
*Safety Tip*: Always perform assembly with another person, especially when handling larger components or the hydraulic system.
Compatibility
This bed frame is designed for a standard Single 3ft mattress. Its dimensions are H 88cm - W 97cm - L 204cm, with a base height of 30cm. Ensure your chosen mattress fits these measurements for optimal performance and safety.
Care
- Upholstery: For general cleaning, lightly vacuum the grey hopsack upholstery with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals which may discolour the fabric.
- Hydraulic Mechanism: Periodically check the hydraulic arms for smooth operation. Do not attempt to lubricate unless specified by the manufacturer; consult your manual if you notice stiffness.
- Slats and Frame: Inspect the wooden slats and frame connections every few months to ensure all screws and bolts are tight. Retighten as needed to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Storage Area: Keep the fabric base clean by wiping it with a damp cloth or vacuuming. Avoid overloading the storage compartment to prevent strain on the lifting mechanism and base.
