4. Assembly Instructions
The Vipack Tipi Bed is designed for easy self-assembly. It is recommended that two adults assemble the bed to ensure safety and stability.
- Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Refer to the components list to ensure all parts are present.
- Assemble Bed Frame: Connect the bed frame side rails using the provided metal fittings. Ensure the frame is stable and square. The bed frame is approximately 12 cm high.
- Install Slatted Base: The slatted base is designed to be screwed to the support rails of the bed frame. This design ensures air circulation beneath the mattress. Securely attach the slatted base to the frame using the designated screws.
- Attach Tipi Frame: Assemble the solid pine tipi frame components. The top ends and crossbar are painted white. Attach these to the bed frame using the appropriate metal fittings. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Final Check: Once assembled, double-check all screws and bolts to ensure they are fully tightened. The bed should be stable and free from wobbling.

5. Operation
The Vipack Tipi Bed is designed for sleeping. Once assembled, place a compatible mattress (90 x 200 cm) into the bed frame. The mattress insertion depth is 5 cm. The slatted base provides support and allows for air circulation, contributing to mattress longevity and hygiene.
Ensure the bed is placed in a suitable location, away from windows, heaters, and other potential hazards. The ground clearance is approximately 1.5 cm.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the painted and natural wood surfaces.
- Fittings Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten any loose fittings to maintain the bed's structural integrity.
- Wood Care: The bed is made from solid pine. Protect it from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.
- Slatted Base: Ensure the slatted base remains clean and free of debris to maintain proper air circulation.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose fittings or uneven placement. | Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the bed is on a flat, level surface. |
| Slats are creaking. | Loose screws on the slatted base or friction between slats and frame. | Re-tighten screws securing the slatted base. If creaking persists, a thin piece of felt or fabric can be placed between the slats and the frame at friction points. |
| Parts missing or damaged upon arrival. | Shipping damage or packing error. | Do not proceed with assembly. Contact Vipack customer support immediately for replacement parts. |
