Using your new Queen - size Upholstered Platform Bed is a breeze. First, assemble it following the instructions that come in the box. It's designed to be put together quickly. Once assembled, place your mattress on the wooden slats. The slats can support any type of mattress, so you don't need a box spring. You can use the 6 - inch underbed space to store extra blankets, clothes, or other items. For a comfortable sleep, adjust the floor glides until the bed is level. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the faux linen upholstery regularly or give it a light brush to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the bed. Be careful not to exceed the 850 - lb static weight capacity to ensure the long - term durability of the engineered wood framework. Also, if your bed has different fabric patterns or shapes, note that the description might refer to other variants of the product.
