6. Operating Instructions (Usage)
Once assembled, the HITHOS King Bed Frame is ready for use. It is designed to accommodate various mattress types without the need for a box spring.
6.1 Mattress Placement
Place your mattress directly onto the wooden slats. The bed frame is compatible with spring, memory foam, latex, or hybrid mattresses. A mattress thickness of 8-13 inches is recommended for optimal fit with the adjustable headboard.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your HITHOS King Bed Frame.
- Cleaning: For the upholstered parts, spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the frame, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Tightness Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months), check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability and prevent noise.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep the bed frame in a dry environment to prevent damage to the wood and upholstery.
- Protect from Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading of the upholstery fabric.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bed frame, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame is wobbly or unstable. | Loose connections or improperly assembled parts. | Check all bolts and screws and tighten them securely. Ensure all slats are properly seated in their supports. |
| Squeaking or noise from the frame. | Loose connections, friction between parts, or improperly placed slats. | Tighten all hardware. Ensure slats are evenly spaced and fully inserted. If noise persists, apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) to contact points between metal parts or where slats meet the frame. |
| Headboard does not adjust properly. | Incorrect assembly of headboard support brackets. | Review the headboard assembly steps in your manual to ensure brackets are installed correctly for adjustment. |
| Missing parts or damaged components upon arrival. | Shipping damage or packing error. | Do not proceed with assembly. Contact HITHOS customer support immediately for assistance. |
