4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the Zinus Metal Box Spring is designed to be straightforward and quick. Follow these steps:
- Assemble the Steel Frame: Connect the four main steel frame pieces using the provided screws and the included ratcheting wrench. Ensure all connections are secure. The pieces are typically numbered for easy matching.
- Install Wood Slats: The wood slats come with Velcro strips. Align these strips with the corresponding Velcro on the assembled steel frame. Press down firmly to secure the slats in place. This design prevents the slats from shifting.
- Apply the Cover: Carefully place the knitted polyester cover over the assembled frame and slats. The cover features a zipper for a snug fit. For easier installation, it may be helpful to stand the box spring on its side while zipping the cover.
Once assembled, ensure the side with the wood slats is facing upwards to properly support your mattress.

5. Operating Instructions
The Zinus Metal Box Spring functions as a foundational support for your mattress. Once assembled and placed within a compatible bed frame, simply position your mattress directly on top of the wood slats. The closely spaced slats (2.5 - 2.9 inches apart) provide optimal support for various mattress types, preventing sagging and extending mattress life.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Cover: The knitted polyester cover can be unzipped and removed for cleaning. Refer to the care label on the cover for specific washing instructions.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections on the steel frame to ensure they remain tight. Use the provided wrench to re-tighten if necessary.
- Slats Inspection: Ensure all wood slats remain securely attached to the Velcro strips. Re-press if any become loose.
7. Troubleshooting
- Squeaking Noises: If you experience squeaking, check all frame connections and ensure they are tightly secured. Also, verify that the mattress is properly seated on the slats and that the slats are firmly attached to the Velcro.
- Slats Shifting: Ensure the Velcro strips on both the slats and the frame are clean and free of debris. Re-attach the slats firmly.
- Difficulty Zipping Cover: If the cover is difficult to zip, try standing the box spring on its side to reduce tension while zipping.
