Setup and Assembly
Basic assembly is required. Instructions are included with the product. It is recommended to have two people for assembly due to the size and weight of the bed base.
Assembly Steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Place the bed base frame upside down on a clean, flat surface to protect the upholstery.
- Attach Legs: Screw the adjustable legs into the designated threaded holes on the underside of the frame. Adjust the leg height to your desired setting (8", 11.5", or 15") by removing or adding sections. Ensure all legs are securely tightened.
- Install Retainer Bar: Locate the retainer bar brackets at the foot of the bed. Insert the retainer bar into these brackets to prevent the mattress from sliding.
- Position Bed Base: With assistance, carefully flip the bed base over and place it in its desired location.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the bed base's control box, then plug the adapter into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Initial Test: Use the remote control to test all functions (head up/down, foot up/down, preprogrammed positions) to ensure proper operation.
- Place Mattress: Carefully place your mattress on top of the adjustable bed base.
For detailed visual instructions, refer to the assembly guide provided in the box.

The app provides similar control functions to the remote, often with additional customization options.
Maintenance and Care
