FAQs

What is an ottoman storage bed?

An ottoman storage bed features a base that lifts up, typically with the help of hydraulic gas struts, to reveal a large storage compartment underneath the entire mattress area. It's designed to maximize space.

Does this bed come with a mattress?

No, this product is a bed frame only. A mattress must be purchased separately to complete your bed set.

Can I choose which side the bed lifts from?

Yes, this model features unique color-coded holes that allow you to assemble the ottoman to lift from either the left or right side of the bed, depending on your room layout and preference.

What material is the bed finished in?

The bed frame is finished in a high-quality grey faux leather or PU fabric, providing a contemporary and easy-to-maintain surface.

How much storage space does it offer?

The ottoman base provides a generous amount of storage space beneath the entire mattress area, ideal for storing linens, blankets, clothing, and other bedroom essentials.

Is assembly difficult?

The bed arrives ready to assemble with all necessary parts and instructions. While it requires assembly, the process is straightforward, especially with the clear, color-coded instructions for the side lift mechanism. It's recommended to have two people for assembly.

How do I maintain the faux leather/PU fabric?

For routine cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For spills or tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Ottoman base is difficult to lift or won't stay open.

Ensure all gas struts are correctly installed and securely fastened. The gas struts require the weight of a mattress to function optimally; try lifting with your mattress in place. If still difficult, verify you are not placing excessive weight on the bed while trying to lift it.

Storage area doesn't open fully or gets stuck.

Check the internal storage area and around the frame for any obstructions (e.g., items pushing against the mechanism, bedding caught). Ensure all assembly bolts are tight and nothing is misaligned.

Bed frame makes squeaking noises.

Carefully re-check all assembly points. Tighten any loose bolts or screws. Squeaking often indicates a loose connection. Ensure the bed is placed on a level surface.

Lifting mechanism feels stiff after assembly.

This is normal initially for new gas struts, especially when lowering the base for the first few times without the full weight of a mattress. Continue to operate it a few times; it should become smoother. Ensure the mattress is on the bed, as its weight helps balance the mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significant Space-Saving: Transforms under-bed space into highly usable storage, perfect for smaller rooms or those needing extra organization.
  • Stylish Design: The grey faux leather/PU fabric and stitched headboard offer a chic, modern look that easily integrates with various decor styles.
  • Convenient Access: The gas hydraulic system allows for smooth, effortless lifting and closing of the bed base, making daily access to stored items simple.
  • Flexible Configuration: Reversible side lift mechanism provides adaptability to different room layouts, enhancing user convenience.
  • Protective Storage: The lined storage area keeps contents clean and dust-free.

Cons

  • Assembly Required: The product arrives ready to assemble, which may require time and effort from the user.
  • Faux Leather/PU Material: While stylish and durable, some users may prefer natural materials over faux leather or PU fabric.
  • Specific Color: The grey finish might not suit all bedroom color schemes, limiting aesthetic flexibility for some.
  • Side Lift Only: Designed exclusively for side lifting, which may not be ideal for all room configurations compared to end-lift ottomans.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Your GFW Side Lift Ottoman Storage Bed arrives ready to assemble. Follow the included instructions carefully for optimal results.

  1. Unpack All Components: Lay out all parts and hardware. Verify against the parts list in the manual.
  2. Assemble Frame: Construct the bed frame according to the step-by-step diagrams. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened.
  3. Install Gas Hydraulic System: Mount the gas struts. Ensure they are correctly oriented and securely fastened. Caution: Gas struts can be stiff initially. It may require some force to compress them when lowering the base for the first time, especially if no mattress is present.
  4. Choose Lift Side: Utilize the color-coded holes to decide whether the bed will lift from the left or right side of the bed. This is a crucial step that needs to be decided during frame assembly.
  5. Place Lined Base: Insert the fabric base lining into the storage compartment.
  6. Add Mattress: Once the frame is fully assembled, place your mattress onto the bed base. The weight of the mattress helps the gas lift system function optimally.

Compatibility

  • This bed frame is designed to accommodate standard mattress sizes. Ensure your mattress dimensions match the bed frame size (e.g., Single, Double, King).
  • The faux leather/PU finish integrates well with a variety of bedroom decor styles, particularly modern or minimalist aesthetics.

Care

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the faux leather/PU fabric with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and immediately wipe dry with a clean cloth.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or waxing polishes, as these can damage the fabric finish.
  • Protect from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading or cracking over time.
  • Gas Strut Maintenance: Periodically check the gas struts for smooth operation. Do not attempt to lubricate or dismantle them. If they fail, contact customer service for replacements.
