Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your mattress foundation.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all connections and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Weight Distribution: Avoid concentrating heavy loads on small areas of the foundation. Distribute weight evenly.
- Relocation: If moving the foundation, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the frame or flooring.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your mattress foundation, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Foundation feels unstable or wobbly. | Loose connections or improper assembly. | Review assembly instructions and ensure all locking mechanisms are fully engaged and secure. Check all leg connections. |
| Squeaking noises. | Friction between metal parts or mattress. | Ensure all connections are tight. If squeaking persists, a thin piece of felt or fabric can be placed between contact points of the mattress and frame. |
| Difficulty attaching headboard. | Incorrect bracket orientation or incompatible headboard. | Verify the headboard brackets are oriented correctly. Ensure your headboard's mounting points align with the foundation's brackets. |
