FAQs
What size mattress does this bed require?
This GFW Ottoman Bed is designed to accommodate a standard King Size mattress.
Can I change the side the bed lifts from after assembly?
The choice of which side the bed lifts from must be made during initial assembly using the colour-coded holes. It is generally not recommended or easily feasible to change the lift side once the bed has been fully assembled.
How do I clean the white faux leather material?
For routine cleaning, wipe the faux leather with a soft, damp cloth. For spills or tougher marks, use a mild soap solution on a clean cloth, then wipe with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue, and dry thoroughly.
Is assembly difficult, and do I need special tools?
Assembly is required but typically straightforward with the provided instructions. All necessary tools (like an Allen key) are usually included. Having an extra person can make the process easier, especially for handling larger components.
What is the weight limit for the storage compartment?
Info needed: [Please refer to your product manual or contact GFW customer support for the specific weight limit of the storage compartment.]
Will my existing King Size mattress work with this bed?
Yes, as long as your existing mattress is a standard King Size (typically 150cm x 200cm or 5ft x 6ft6in), it should be compatible with this bed frame.
Troubleshooting
Gas lift mechanism not operating smoothly or feels stiff.
Ensure all securing bolts for the gas struts are properly tightened. Check for any obstructions preventing the mechanism from moving freely. If the issue persists, verify the struts are installed in the correct orientation as per the assembly guide.
Bed makes squeaking noises when moving.
Systematically check all bolts and screws across the entire bed frame, particularly where sections join, and tighten any that are loose. Sometimes, applying a small amount of furniture polish or dry lubricant to metal-on-metal contact points (away from the gas struts) can help.
Difficulty closing the ottoman storage after opening.
Ensure that nothing in the storage compartment is obstructing the closing mechanism. Sometimes, the gas struts require a certain amount of downward force to initiate closing, especially when new. If it's still difficult, ensure the mattress is properly centered and not adding uneven weight.
Items inside storage get dusty.
While the storage area is lined, a perfectly airtight seal is not guaranteed. For sensitive items, consider storing them in sealed boxes or vacuum-seal bags within the ottoman compartment for extra protection against dust and moisture.
Bed frame appears unstable or wobbly.
This usually indicates loose fixings. Re-check all assembly points, paying close attention to the main frame connections and leg attachments. Ensure the bed is placed on a flat, level surface. If your floor is uneven, consider using furniture pads to stabilize.

Care and Maintenance
- Faux Leather: For general cleaning, wipe the faux leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as these can damage the material.
- Spills: Blot any spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly.
- Gas Lift System: Periodically check the gas hydraulic system for smooth operation. Do not attempt to lubricate the gas struts unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer. Keep the mechanism free from obstructions.
- Frame Integrity: Regularly check all bolts and screws for tightness and re-tighten if necessary to maintain the bed's stability and prevent creaking.
