Setup and Assembly

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Lay them out to ensure all pieces are accounted for.
2. Assemble Frame Sides: Connect one long frame piece with one short frame piece to form an "L" shape. Repeat this for the other long and short pieces.
3. Join Frame Halves: Connect the two "L" shaped frame halves to form the complete rectangular frame. Finger-tighten all screws initially.
4. Secure Connections: Once the full frame is assembled, use the provided ratchet to tighten all screws. Begin by tightening diagonally opposite screws to ensure even tension.

Operating Instructions

The Zinus Upholstered Metal and Wood Box Spring is designed to provide a stable and supportive base for your mattress. Once assembled, place your mattress directly on top of the wooden slats. This foundation is compatible with various mattress types, including latex, memory foam, and traditional spring mattresses.

Ensure the box spring is placed on a compatible bed frame or platform bed (sold separately) for proper support and stability. The 4-inch profile offers a lower bed height option.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Zinus Upholstered Metal and Wood Box Spring, wipe the fabric cover with a dry cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which may damage the fabric or frame finish. Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.

Troubleshooting

• Squeaking Noises: If you experience squeaking, re-tighten all assembly screws. Ensure the box spring is placed on a stable, level bed frame.
• Mattress Sliding: If your mattress slides on the box spring, consider placing an anti-slip mat (not included) between the mattress and the box spring slats.
• Sagging: Ensure the box spring is correctly assembled and all components are securely fastened. Verify that the total weight on the box spring does not exceed the maximum recommended capacity of 700 lbs (for Queen size). If sagging persists, inspect the bed frame supporting the box spring for any issues.
