FAQs
What size mattress does the GFW Single Side Lift Ottoman Bed accommodate?
This bed frame is designed to fit a standard single mattress. Please ensure your mattress dimensions match for the best fit and functionality.
Is assembly required for this bed, and how difficult is it?
Yes, assembly is required. The bed comes with colour-coded holes to assist with choosing the side lift orientation, simplifying the process. While not overly difficult, having two people for assembly is recommended, especially for handling larger frame parts and installing the gas hydraulics.
Can the side lift mechanism be installed on either the left or right side?
Yes, the design includes colour-coded holes that allow you to choose whether the ottoman lifts from the left or right side during the initial assembly process. Once assembled, the orientation is fixed.
How much storage space is available under the bed?
The GFW Single Side Lift Ottoman Bed offers ample, fully lined storage space beneath the entire mattress platform. This area is generous enough to store various items like extra bedding, seasonal clothes, or towels, helping to keep your bedroom organized.
What kind of fabric is 'hopsack' and how do I clean it?
Hopsack fabric is a durable, woven material known for its textured appearance. To clean, gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. For spills or marks, spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, blotting the area gently rather than rubbing.
Is the mattress included with the bed frame?
No, the GFW Single Side Lift Ottoman Bed frame does not include a mattress. You will need to purchase a standard single mattress separately.
Troubleshooting
Ottoman lift is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Ensure no items are obstructing the lifting mechanism or the frame. Verify that the gas hydraulic pistons are installed correctly and securely. If new, hydraulic systems can sometimes be stiff initially but should ease with use. Check the mattress weight to ensure it's not exceeding the system's capacity.
Storage base doesn't close flush with the bed frame.
Check if the storage compartment is overfilled or if any items are preventing the platform from sitting flat. Inspect the frame for any misalignment that might have occurred during assembly or movement. Re-check assembly steps related to the platform and frame alignment.
Bed frame creaks or feels unstable.
Tighten all bolts and screws on the bed frame, paying close attention to the corner brackets and headboard connections. Over time, joints can loosen. Ensure the bed is on a level surface.
Fabric has minor marks or dust.
For dust, use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment. For minor marks, gently spot clean with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Blot, do not rub, and allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all parts and lay them out, cross-referencing with the provided instruction manual to ensure all pieces are present.
- Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step instructions. Pay close attention to the colour-coded holes which guide you in selecting the desired side for the lift mechanism (left or right opening).
- Install Gas Hydraulics: Crucial for smooth operation, ensure the gas hydraulic pistons are installed according to the manual, paying attention to the correct orientation and secure fastening.
- Attach Mattress Platform: Secure the platform to the hydraulic system and frame.

Compatibility
- Mattress Size: Designed to perfectly accommodate a standard single mattress. Ensure your mattress dimensions match for optimal fit and function.
- Weight: While the gas hydraulics assist with lifting, using a mattress that is excessively heavy may strain the mechanism over time. Consult the product manual for any specific weight recommendations.
Care
- Fabric Cleaning: For the hopsack fabric, spot clean minor spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For general cleaning, a soft brush or vacuum with an upholstery attachment can remove dust and debris.
- Hydraulic System: Keep the gas hydraulic pistons clear of obstructions and dust. Do not attempt to lubricate the pistons unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer, as this can affect their function.
- Internal Storage: Regularly ventilate the storage area to prevent moisture build-up, especially if storing textiles. Ensure items are dry before storing them.
- Frame Maintenance: Periodically check all frame connections and tighten any loose bolts or screws to maintain stability and prevent creaking.
