4. Operating Instructions
Using the Daybed
The main daybed accommodates a standard twin-size mattress. It functions as a sofa during the day and a bed at night. No box spring is required as the bed features a slat support system.
Using the Trundle
The trundle unit is designed to slide smoothly from underneath the main daybed. To extend the trundle, gently pull the front panel outwards. To retract, push the trundle back into its position under the main bed. The trundle also accommodates a standard twin-size mattress.
