Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of mattress is compatible with the Phoenix Ottoman bed?

The bed frame requires a UK standard single mattress. It must weigh between a minimum (for piston function) and a maximum of 45 kg, with a recommended maximum height of 23cm.

How do I operate the ottoman storage?

Lift the bed frame at the designated point (usually the foot end) to activate the gas pistons, which will assist in raising the mattress and base. Ensure the mattress is in place before operating. Lower the base by gently pushing it down until it clicks or locks securely.

What is the maximum weight the bed frame can support?

The Phoenix Ottoman frame has a maximum weight load capacity of 350 kg.

What is the piston strength of the gas lift mechanism?

The gas piston strength is 588 N.

Can I store heavy items in the ottoman base?

While the frame has a high weight capacity, it is advisable to distribute weight evenly within the storage area and avoid exceeding reasonable limits for stored items to ensure smooth operation of the gas pistons.

How should I clean the bed frame?

Clean the frame using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Is assembly required?

Yes, the Birlea Phoenix Ottoman Storage Bed Frame requires assembly. It is recommended that two people undertake the assembly process.

Troubleshooting

Ottoman base is difficult to lift

Ensure the mattress is correctly positioned and within the 45 kg weight limit. Verify that the mattress height does not exceed 23cm. Check that no items are obstructing the mechanism.

Gas pistons are not holding the base up

Confirm the mattress is on the bed, as pistons require weight to operate. If the issue persists, contact customer support for potential piston inspection or replacement.

Bed frame feels unstable or creaks

Re-check all assembly screws and bolts to ensure they are fully tightened. Ensure the bed is on a level surface.

Storage space is not fully accessible

Make sure the mattress is lifted to its highest point and then carefully pushed back slightly to allow full access to the storage area.

  • Elegant design available in multiple finishes to suit different interior styles.
  • Gas-lift mechanism makes accessing storage convenient.

Cons

  • Requires a UK standard size mattress.
  • Mattress weight must be within the 45 kg limit for optimal piston function.
  • Pistons only work when a mattress is placed on the bed.
  • Maximum mattress height is recommended at 23cm.
  • Assembly may require two people due to the size and components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Assembly of the Birlea Phoenix Ottoman Storage Bed Frame typically requires two people due to its size and the mechanism involved. Follow the provided assembly instructions carefully, ensuring all bolts and fittings are securely tightened. Pay close attention to the orientation of the ottoman base and the gas piston attachment points.

Compatibility:

  • Mattress Size: This bed frame is designed exclusively for UK standard single mattresses. It is crucial to use a mattress that is a UK standard single size.
  • Mattress Weight: The mattress must weigh a minimum amount for the gas pistons to function correctly and a maximum of 45 kg. Always check your mattress specifications.
  • Mattress Height: The recommended maximum mattress height is 23cm. Using a mattress taller than this may hinder the ottoman's lifting mechanism.

Care:

  • Clean the frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check that all screws and fittings are tight, especially after the initial assembly.
  • Ensure the mattress is correctly positioned on the frame before attempting to lift or lower the ottoman base.
  • Do not force the ottoman base open or closed; the gas pistons should provide smooth operation.
