4. Operating Instructions
The Zinus Shalini Platform Bed Frame is designed to provide stable support for your mattress without the need for a box spring. Simply place your latex, memory foam, or spring mattress directly onto the wooden slats. Ensure the mattress is centered and evenly distributed on the frame.
The Queen size bed frame has a maximum weight capacity of 700 lbs. Do not exceed this weight limit to ensure safety and product longevity.
5. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your upholstered bed frame, spot clean only. Use a mild detergent and a damp cloth to gently clean any soiled areas. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the fabric.
6. Troubleshooting
Squeaking Noises
The Zinus Shalini bed frame is engineered with noise-free padding and securely attached wooden slats to minimize squeaking. If you experience any noise, ensure all bolts are tightened securely. Over time, bolts may loosen slightly, requiring re-tightening. The non-slip tape on the slats also helps prevent mattress movement that could cause noise.
