5. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, your Mellow Asher Platform Bed is ready for use.

• Mattress Placement: Place your Full or Double size mattress directly onto the wooden slats. No box spring is required. The non-slip tape on the slats will help keep the mattress from shifting.
• Under-Bed Storage: Utilize the 11 inches of under-bed clearance for storage bins, boxes, or other items to help keep your bedroom organized.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your bed frame.

• Cleaning: Wipe the bamboo frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Fastener Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent squeaking.
• Slat Inspection: Inspect wooden slats for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure proper mattress support.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Mellow Asher Platform Bed, refer to the following common solutions:

• Squeaking Noises:
  • Ensure all bolts and fasteners are securely tightened. Loose connections are a common cause of squeaking.
  • Verify that the wooden slats are properly seated and not rubbing against the frame. The noise-free padding and non-slip tape are designed to minimize this.
• Instability/Wobbling:
  • Confirm that the bed frame is placed on a completely level surface.
  • Check all leg and rail connections for tightness.
• Mattress Shifting:
  • Ensure the non-slip tape on the wooden slats is clean and making good contact with the mattress.
