5.1 Mattress Compatibility
Use a mattress with dimensions of 90 x 200 cm. The bed's design ensures the mattress sits directly on the slatted frame, close to the floor.
5.2 Child Safety Features
The integrated protective border and rounded edges are designed to minimize the risk of falls and injuries. The low height of the bed also reduces the impact of any potential falls.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safety of your Homestyle4u 2523 Montessori Floor Bed.
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the lacquered pine wood finish.
- Fastener Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Damage Inspection: Regularly inspect the bed for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the wood or slatted frame. Discontinue use if significant damage is found and contact customer support.

|---|---|---|
| Bed feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners. | Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the bed is on a level surface. |
