The GFW Side Lift Ottoman Bed is engineered for practical everyday use, particularly excelling in bedrooms where space is at a premium. The core benefit lies in its ottoman storage, which transforms the often-unused space beneath your mattress into a valuable storage zone. Imagine neatly tucking away extra duvets, seasonal clothes, or children's toys, keeping your room uncluttered and serene.
The gas hydraulic lift system is a standout feature, making access to this storage remarkably easy. Unlike beds with manual lifts or drawers, you can effortlessly raise the mattress base with minimal physical exertion. This is especially useful for daily access to items or for those with mobility concerns.
Setting up the side lift is a thoughtful design choice; you decide during assembly whether the bed opens from the left or right. This adaptability ensures the bed integrates seamlessly into your specific room layout, avoiding awkward access issues with bedside tables or other furniture.
The faux leather finish isn't just about looks; it's also practical. It's generally easy to wipe clean, resisting spills and dust better than fabric alternatives, making it a good choice for busy households or those with pets. The subtle stitching on the headboard adds a touch of sophistication, making the bed a focal point rather than just a functional piece.
In a small double configuration, it's perfect for a single adult who desires more sleeping space than a single, or for couples in compact bedrooms where a full double might feel too large. It strikes an excellent balance between comfort and footprint.
Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all parts and ensure all hardware is present. Refer to the included instruction manual for a full inventory list. Keep small parts organized to prevent loss.
Frame Assembly: Follow the step-by-step instructions provided to assemble the main bed frame. This typically involves attaching side rails, footboard, and headboard. Ensure all bolts and screws are securely fastened but do not overtighten until instructed.
Choose Lift Side: Pay close attention to the colour-coded holes and instructions for installing the ottoman base hinges. This is where you decide if the bed will lift from the left or right side. Once assembled, this choice is generally permanent without significant reassembly.
Install Gas Hydraulics: Carefully install the gas hydraulic arms according to the manual. Ensure they are correctly oriented and securely attached to both the base and the frame. Important: Gas struts can be stiff initially; the weight of a mattress is often required to allow them to function smoothly. Do not force them down without the mattress in place.
Place Mattress: Once the frame and lift mechanism are fully assembled, place your small double mattress onto the slatted base. The mattress weight is crucial for the proper function of the gas lift.
Mattress Size: This bed is designed for a Small Double (4ft / 120cm) mattress. Ensure your mattress matches these dimensions for a proper fit and optimal gas lift performance.
Room Size: Its compact small double footprint makes it ideal for smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, or apartments where maximizing floor space is key.
Flooring: Suitable for all flooring types, though rubber protectors on feet are recommended for hard floors to prevent scratching.
Faux Leather Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the faux leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth, drying immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the material.
Dusting: Regularly dust the frame and headboard with a soft, dry cloth to prevent build-up.
Storage Area: Periodically vacuum or wipe the lined storage area to keep it free of dust and debris.
Gas Hydraulics: Do not oil or lubricate the gas struts. If they become stiff, ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism and that the mattress is properly positioned. If issues persist, refer to troubleshooting or contact customer support.
