Introduction
This instruction manual provides essential information for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Amazon Basics Foldable Metal Platform Bed Frame. Designed for durability and convenience, this bed frame offers sturdy support without the need for a box spring, ample under-bed storage, and a tool-free setup for easy assembly and portability.
Setup Instructions
Unpacking and Initial Setup
Your Amazon Basics bed frame is designed for a hassle-free, tool-free assembly. It arrives in a compact, folded state, making it easy to transport and maneuver. The full size bed frame consists of two foldable sections.

- Unfold Each Section: Carefully unfold each of the two bed frame sections. The legs are designed to automatically extend and lock into place as you unfold the frame.
- Connect the Sections: Once both sections are unfolded, align them side-by-side. The frame includes simple, tool-free connectors (typically bolts with wing nuts) to secure the two halves together in the middle. Insert these connectors through the designated holes and tighten them by hand until secure.
- Verify Stability: Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked, and the connecting bolts are tightened. The frame should feel sturdy and stable.

Usage Guidelines
Mattress Placement
This platform bed frame is designed to support your mattress directly, eliminating the need for a traditional box spring. Simply place your full-size mattress directly onto the sturdy steel slat surface.

Under-Bed Storage
The 14-inch height of this bed frame provides approximately 13 inches of vertical clearance, offering generous space for under-bed storage. This allows you to maximize your room's utility by storing bins, boxes, or other items conveniently out of sight.

Care and Maintenance
To maintain the quality and longevity of your bed frame, simply wipe it with a dry cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which may damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Noise and Stability
The Amazon Basics bed frame is designed to provide a noise-free and supportive foundation. If you experience any squeaking or instability, please check the following:
- Ensure all folding legs are fully extended and securely locked into place.
- Verify that the connecting bolts between the two frame sections are tightly secured.
- Confirm that the mattress is properly centered on the frame and not causing uneven pressure.
