Operating Instructions
While a bed frame does not have complex operational features, proper usage ensures its longevity and your comfort:
- Mattress Placement: Carefully place your mattress directly onto the steel slats. The frame is compatible with a 160 x 200 cm mattress.
- Weight Limit: The 160 x 200 cm size can hold up to 310 kg (approximately 683 lbs). Do not exceed this weight limit to maintain structural integrity and safety.
- Under-Bed Storage: Utilize the generous 36.7 cm (approximately 14.4 inches) of under-bed clearance for storage. This space is ideal for bins, boxes, or other items, helping to keep your room tidy.

- Regular Inspection: Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to prevent squeaking and maintain stability.
- Cleaning: Wipe the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Noise Prevention: The frame includes foam pads to minimize noise. If any squeaking occurs, check for loose connections or ensure the mattress is properly seated on the slats.
