FAQs
What size mattress does this bed require?
The Kosy Koala Ottoman Storage Bed is a 4ft bed, also known as a small double. It requires a mattress with dimensions of approximately W 120 cm x L 190 cm (approx. 47 x 75 inches).
Is the mattress included with the bed?
No, the mattress is not included and must be purchased separately.
How much storage space is available under the bed?
The ottoman design utilizes the entire under-bed area, providing generous storage space comparable to the footprint of the bed itself. The depth of the storage area is approximately [Info needed: storage depth in cm or inches].
What are the overall dimensions of the bed?
The overall dimensions are: W 128.5 cm x L 206 cm x H 100 cm (headboard), 45 cm (footboard).
How do I clean the blue velvet upholstery?
For general cleaning, gently vacuum with an upholstery attachment or use a soft brush. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing. For deeper cleaning, professional upholstery services are recommended.
Is assembly difficult, and do I need special tools?
The bed comes with clear instructions and all necessary basic tools. While not overly difficult, assembly typically takes 1-2 hours and is often easier with two people. No special tools beyond those provided are usually required.
Can I use any type of mattress with the gas lift mechanism?
Yes, as long as the mattress is the correct 4ft size, it should work. The gas lift mechanism is designed to handle the weight of standard mattresses, including spring, memory foam, and hybrid types. Ensure the mattress has sufficient weight for the gas lift to function smoothly.
Troubleshooting
Gas lift mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the mattress is correctly placed on the bed base. New gas lifts can be stiff initially and may require a few uses to loosen up, or the mattress may not have enough weight to fully engage the lift mechanism. Do not force the mechanism.
Bed makes creaking noises.
Carefully re-check all bolts and screws throughout the frame, ensuring they are tightened securely. Creaking often indicates a loose connection. Also, ensure the bed is placed on a flat, even surface; uneven flooring can put strain on the frame.
Difficulty with assembly steps or parts not fitting.
Double-check the instruction manual diagrams and part labels. Lay out all components before starting and identify each piece against the manual. If a step is unclear, re-read it carefully, and ensure you have not missed any smaller components. Sometimes, slight rotation of a part is needed for a proper fit.
Velvet upholstery appears flattened or marked.
Gently brush the velvet pile with a soft-bristle brush in the direction of the nap to restore its texture. For minor indentations, a light mist of water followed by brushing can sometimes help. Avoid excessive pressure.
Bed feels unstable after assembly.
Go back through all assembly steps, paying close attention to every connection point. Ensure all screws, bolts, and fasteners are fully tightened. A common cause is one or more loose connections. If possible, have a second person check the connections.
