The GFW Double Side Lift Ottoman Bed excels in providing both a comfortable sleeping surface and discreet, ample storage. Its double size makes it suitable for most standard bedrooms, offering sufficient space for one or two sleepers. The primary real-world benefit is its integrated storage, which can significantly declutter your room by stowing away items like seasonal clothing, spare bedding, towels, or even books and toys. The gas hydraulic system is a key performance feature, allowing you to lift the heavy mattress platform with minimal effort. This means you won't struggle to access your belongings, even if you have a heavy memory foam mattress. The lined storage compartment helps keep your items clean and protected from dust. The ability to choose the side-lift configuration during assembly is crucial for optimizing flow in your bedroom, ensuring the bed opens towards an accessible space rather than a wall or other furniture. The modern grey hopsack finish integrates well with contemporary, minimalist, or even industrial interior design themes, making it a versatile choice for many homes.
Preparation: Unpack all components and verify against the included instruction manual. Ensure you have adequate space for assembly.
Assembly: Follow the colour-coded assembly points and step-by-step instructions. It is recommended to have two people for assembly to ensure safety and ease, especially when handling larger components.
Gas Hydraulic System: Carefully install the gas struts according to the instructions. Ensure they are correctly fitted and engaged before placing the mattress. Do not force the mechanism if it feels stiff; re-check alignment.
Side-Lift Configuration: Decide on the lift side (left or right) before installing the final frame components, as this choice is semi-permanent once the bed is fully assembled.
Mattress Size: This bed frame is designed for a standard double mattress. Ensure your mattress dimensions match the frame for a proper fit.
Room Layout: Consider the chosen side-lift direction relative to your bedroom's layout to ensure clear access to the storage compartment without obstruction from walls or other furniture.
Fabric Cleaning: For routine maintenance, gently vacuum the hopsack fabric to remove dust. For spills or marks, lightly dab with a clean, damp cloth and a mild fabric cleaner (test on an inconspicuous area first). Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
Hardware Check: Periodically check all bolts and screws to ensure they remain tight. Loose fittings can lead to instability or creaking.
Gas Struts: Do not attempt to lubricate or tamper with the gas hydraulic struts. If they stop functioning correctly, refer to troubleshooting or contact support.
