Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and stability of your Mellow bed frame, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Bolt Tightening: Periodically check all assembly bolts and re-tighten them as needed. Loose bolts can lead to squeaking or instability.
- Slat Inspection: Ensure all wooden slats remain properly seated and undamaged. Replace any broken slats immediately to maintain mattress support.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common solutions:
- Squeaking Noises: Squeaking often indicates loose bolts. Re-tighten all bolts on the frame, especially those connecting the side rails to the headboard and footboard, and the center support.
- Instability/Wobbling: Ensure the bed frame is on a level surface. Check that all legs are making firm contact with the floor and that all bolts are fully tightened.
- Mattress Sliding: Verify that the non-slip tape on the wooden slats is intact and properly applied. If the tape is worn, consider replacing it or adding additional non-slip material between the mattress and slats.
