Converting from Bed to Sofa

1. Remove all bedding from the mattress.
2. Locate the mechanism release points (usually near the head or foot of the bed frame).
3. Lift and push the bed frame inwards, allowing the mechanism to fold back into the sofa position. This should be a smooth, controlled movement.
4. Ensure the mechanism is fully closed and locked.
5. Replace the seat and backrest cushions.

Pillow Compartment

The sofa bed includes a convenient pillow compartment. To access it, lift the seat section (or refer to your specific assembly guide for exact location). This compartment is ideal for storing pillows and light bedding when the sofa is in its closed position.

Maintenance and Care

Fabric Care (Anthracite Polyester)

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and loose debris.
• Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild fabric cleaner specifically designed for polyester, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Position the sofa away from direct sun or use curtains/blinds.
• Removable Seat Covers: The seat covers are removable. Follow the care label instructions for washing. Typically, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. Do not tumble dry.

Memory Foam Mattress Care

• Rotation: Rotate the mattress periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) to ensure even wear.
• Ventilation: Allow the mattress to air out regularly by removing bedding.
• Cleaning: Spot clean any spills on the mattress cover with a mild detergent and damp cloth. Do not saturate the memory foam. Ensure it is completely dry before replacing bedding.
• Protective Cover: Consider using a mattress protector to shield against spills and stains.

Frame and Mechanism Care

• Check Fasteners: Periodically check all bolts and screws and tighten them if necessary.
• Lubrication: If the bed mechanism becomes stiff, apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
• Cleaning Metal Parts: Wipe metal legs and frame components with a soft, damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

• Sofa Bed Mechanism is Stiff: Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism. Check if all parts are properly aligned. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving joints if needed.
• Squeaking Noises: Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners. Lubricate moving parts of the bed mechanism.
• Fabric Stains: Refer to the 'Fabric Care' section for spot cleaning instructions. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be required.
• Uneven Mattress: Ensure the mattress is correctly positioned on the bed base. Rotate the mattress regularly.
