• Assembly Instructions

4. Setup (Assembly)

Assembly is quick and easy, typically taking less than 30 minutes. All necessary tools are included.

1. Attach the Legs: Carefully unbox the futon base. Locate the pre-drilled holes on the underside of the base. Attach the six wooden legs using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Ensure all legs are securely tightened.
2. Position the Cushions: Once the legs are attached, carefully flip the futon upright. The cushions are vacuum-packed and will regain full elasticity within 72 hours.

5. Operating Instructions

The Pipishell Futon Sofa Bed offers versatile configurations for optimal comfort.

5.1 Adjusting the Backrest

The backrest can be adjusted to three different angles: 105° (for watching TV), 160° (for relaxing), and 180° (for sleeping/napping). To adjust, gently push the backrest forward until you hear a click, then recline it to your desired position. Push it all the way forward to reset and lay flat.

5.2 Adjusting the Armrests

The armrests offer five adjustable angles (0°-90°). To adjust, lift the armrest until it clicks into the next position. Continue lifting to cycle through the angles. To lay it flat, lift it to the highest position and then lower it completely.

5.3 Converting to a Bed

To convert the futon from sofa mode to bed mode, simply adjust both backrests and armrests to their fully reclined (180° and 0°) positions. This creates a flat sleeping surface.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your futon sofa bed.

• Cleaning: The corduroy fabric is designed to be easy to clean. For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For general cleaning, use a lint roller or a soft brush to remove dust and debris. The cushion covers are removable (via zipper) and can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
• Fluffing: The high-resilience sponge filling may require occasional fluffing to maintain its shape and comfort, especially after prolonged use or after being vacuum-packed.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Adjusting Backrest/Armrests: Ensure no obstructions are preventing movement. Push the mechanism fully forward to reset before attempting to recline to a new position.
• Unstable or Wobbly: Check that all legs are securely tightened and that the futon is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Cushions Not Fully Expanded: Allow up to 72 hours for vacuum-packed cushions to fully expand. Gentle patting and kneading can help accelerate the process.
