FAQs
Can I use any small double mattress?
You can use any UK standard small double mattress, provided it is no deeper than 23cm and weighs no more than 45kg.
Why won't the frame stay in the open position?
The gas-lift mechanism requires the weight of a mattress to function. Without a mattress, the pistons may be too powerful and cause the frame to fly open.
How much weight can the bed support?
The Aspen Ottoman Bed frame has a maximum load capacity of 350kg, including the weight of the mattress and users.
Is the bed difficult to assemble?
The bed comes in a flat-pack format. It is recommended to have two people present for assembly to handle the frame sections safely.
How do I clean the fabric?
Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery brush for regular maintenance. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth, blotting rather than rubbing.
Troubleshooting
The ottoman base will not stay down
The gas pistons are designed to be compressed by the weight of a mattress. Ensure a mattress is correctly positioned on the frame.
The bed is difficult to lift
Check that the mattress does not exceed the 45kg weight limit and verify that no items are trapped between the frame and the base.
Squeaking noises during use
Check all nuts and bolts for tightness and ensure the sprung slats are securely seated in their plastic caps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup is critical for the safety and longevity of the gas-lift system. Ensure all bolts are tightened during assembly, as loose hardware can cause the mechanism to bind. This bed is compatible with UK small double mattresses; however, ensure your mattress does not exceed 45kg in weight or 23cm in depth to avoid damaging the pistons. For care, keep the grey fabric clean by vacuuming regularly with an upholstery attachment and spot-cleaning spills immediately with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals on the upholstery.
