Operating Instructions
Once assembled, your Amazon Basics bed frame is ready for use. No box spring is required.
- Mattress Placement: Carefully place your mattress directly onto the metal platform. The sturdy wire grid provides adequate support.
- Under-Bed Storage: Utilize the 13 inches of vertical clearance for storing items. This space is ideal for storage bins, luggage, or seasonal items.
- Folding for Storage: To fold the frame, reverse the setup steps. Disconnect the two halves (if applicable), unlock the legs, and fold each section inward. The compact design allows for easy storage in closets or under other furniture.

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your bed frame.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all connections and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, consider the following common solutions:
- Squeaking Noises: Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked. Check and tighten all connecting bolts. Uneven floor surfaces can also cause squeaking; try repositioning the frame or using floor protectors.
- Instability/Wobbling: Verify that the frame is placed on a flat, level surface. Confirm that all leg locking mechanisms are engaged and that the two halves (for Queen/King) are securely connected.
- Difficulty Folding/Unfolding: Ensure no objects are obstructing the folding mechanism. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a leg is stuck, check for any debris or misalignment.
