FAQs

Does the bed come with a mattress?

No, the mattress is sold separately. The bed is designed to be compatible with standard-sized mattresses.

Is the Ottoman storage base divided into sections?

The storage area typically spans the full width and length under the mattress, providing an open space for items of various sizes.

How do I clean the velvet fabric?

Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment for regular cleaning. For spot cleaning, use a damp, soft cloth to gently blot the area, then allow it to air dry.

Can I assemble this bed by myself?

It is strongly recommended to have two people assemble the bed due to the size, weight, and the complexity of the gas piston mechanism.

What is the function of the sprung slats?

Sprung slats provide a slight 'bounce' or flexibility, which helps to contour to your body and reduces pressure points compared to solid wooden slats.

Is the fabric base included for the storage area?

Yes, a protective fabric base is provided to cover the bottom of the storage area, preventing direct contact with the floor.

Troubleshooting

The ottoman base won't stay in the raised position

Ensure a mattress is on the frame. The gas pistons are designed to be weight-dependent and require the resistance of a mattress to operate correctly.

The frame feels uneven or wobbles

Check that the floor is level and that the hardwood feet are securely tightened. Adjust the leveling if necessary.

Mechanism feels stiff or difficult to lift

Check the hinges for debris and ensure the frame is perfectly aligned. A small application of silicone spray on the moving hinge parts can often improve performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly of the Estella Ottoman requires at least two people due to the weight of the upholstered panels and the tension of the gas pistons. It is crucial to follow the provided manual exactly to ensure the pistons are installed in the correct orientation. For compatibility, ensure your floor is level, as the Ottoman mechanism operates best on flat surfaces. Regarding care, vacuum the velvet upholstery regularly with a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up and matting. If a spill occurs, blot gently with a dry, clean cloth; avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the velvet pile and finish.
