5. Usage
Once assembled, place your mattress directly onto the wooden slat platform. A box spring is not required with this bed frame. The wooden slats are designed to provide optimal support for your mattress, extending its lifespan and minimizing noise during sleep.
Ensure the total weight on the bed frame, including mattress and occupants, does not exceed the specified maximum weight capacity for your bed size.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: For the upholstered parts, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the metal and wood components, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Tighten Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Protect the bed frame from prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight to prevent damage to the fabric and wood.
7. Troubleshooting
- Squeaking Noises: If the bed frame squeaks, check all connections and tighten any loose bolts. Ensure slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame.
- Instability: If the bed frame feels unstable, verify that all legs are firmly attached and all frame connections are securely tightened. Ensure the bed is on a level surface.
- Missing Parts: If any parts are missing or damaged upon arrival, please contact ZINUS customer support for assistance.
