Operating Instructions
Using the Detachable Side Fences
The Bellemave Twin XL bed frame features detachable side fences, offering versatility for different stages of a child's growth or room configurations.
- With Fences: For younger children or to create a secure sleeping environment, keep all side fences attached. The 18.5-inch fence height and 2.8-inch spacing provide safety and prevent accidental falls.
- Removing Fences: To convert the bed into a more open platform style, or to place it flush against a parent's bed for co-sleeping, the right-side fence can be removed. Carefully unscrew the fasteners connecting the fence section to the headboard and footboard. Store removed parts safely.

Low Profile Design
The bed's low profile, with only 5.5 inches of clearance from the floor, allows for easy access for children, promoting independence. This Montessori-inspired design minimizes the risk of injury from falls.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the bed frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspections: Periodically inspect all structural components, including slats, side rails, and fasteners, for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening.
- Tightening: Re-tighten all bolts and screws every 3-6 months, or as needed, to maintain stability and safety.
- Wood Care: Protect the wood from extreme temperature changes and direct sunlight, which can cause warping or fading.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bed frame wobbles | Loose fasteners; uneven floor | Ensure all bolts and screws are securely tightened. Place shims under legs if the floor is uneven. |
| Squeaking noises | Loose connections; friction between parts | Tighten all fasteners. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone spray to contact points if necessary (avoiding mattress contact). |
| Slats feel unstable | Slats not properly secured or spaced | Verify all slats are correctly positioned and screwed into the side rails. Ensure even spacing. |
