Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The GFW Single Side Lift Ottoman Bed requires full assembly. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the box. The 'colour-coded holes' are a key feature designed to simplify the process of selecting and installing the gas lift mechanism to open from your preferred side (left or right). Ensure all fixings are securely tightened for stability and proper operation of the gas lift. Two people are recommended for assembly to ensure ease and safety, especially when handling larger components.
Compatibility
This bed is designed to accommodate a standard single-size mattress (approximately 90cm x 190cm or 3'0" x 6'3"). The mattress is not included and must be purchased separately. It is compatible with various mattress types, including sprung, foam, and hybrid, as long as they fit the single dimensions. The sturdy base provides adequate support for most mattress weights.
Care
- Faux Leather Frame: Wipe down the faux leather surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for faux leather, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, which can damage the material.
- Internal Storage Area: Periodically vacuum or wipe the lined storage compartment to remove dust and debris. Ensure items stored inside are clean and dry to prevent mould or mildew.
- Gas Lift Mechanism: The gas hydraulic system is generally maintenance-free. If you notice any stiffness or unusual sounds, ensure the mechanism is clear of obstructions. Do not attempt to oil or tamper with the gas struts unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- General Maintenance: Regularly check all bolts and fixings to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain the bed's structural integrity.
