FAQs
What size mattress does this bed require?
This bed is designed for a standard single-size mattress, typically measuring 90cm x 190cm (approximately 3 feet by 6 feet 3 inches).
Does the bed come with a mattress?
No, the mattress is not included and must be purchased separately.
Is assembly required, and how difficult is it?
Yes, full assembly is required. The bed features 'colour-coded holes' to assist with the setup of the side-lift mechanism. While instructions are provided, two people are recommended for easier and safer assembly.
Can I choose which side the ottoman lifts from?
Yes, during the assembly process, you can configure the gas hydraulic system to lift the bed base from either the left or right side, allowing you to best suit your room's layout.
What is the storage capacity like?
The ottoman base provides generous, lined storage space underneath the entire mattress area, perfect for storing a significant amount of items like bedding, clothes, or seasonal belongings.
How do I clean the faux leather frame?
Wipe the faux leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner formulated for faux leather, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What material is the bed frame made of?
The bed frame is crafted with high-quality faux leather upholstery and features a subtly stitched headboard.
Troubleshooting
Ottoman base is difficult to lift or won't stay open.
Ensure a mattress is placed on the bed frame; the gas lift system is designed to work with the weight of a mattress. If it's still difficult, check for any obstructions in the mechanism or if the gas struts were installed correctly according to the chosen lift side.
Ottoman base lifts from the wrong side.
During initial assembly, the gas lift mechanism can be configured to lift from either the left or right side using 'colour-coded holes'. If it's lifting from the wrong side, you may need to partially reassemble the lift mechanism to switch its orientation as per the instructions.
Squeaking or creaking sounds when moving or lifting the bed.
Check all bolts and screws on the bed frame and base to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose connections are a common cause of noise. If the sound persists, try to isolate the source and, if it's from a hinge or moving part, consider applying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.
Faux leather appears marked or dirty.
Clean the faux leather with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) or a dedicated faux leather cleaner, applied sparingly to a cloth, then wipe clean and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The GFW Single Side Lift Ottoman Bed requires full assembly. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the box. The 'colour-coded holes' are a key feature designed to simplify the process of selecting and installing the gas lift mechanism to open from your preferred side (left or right). Ensure all fixings are securely tightened for stability and proper operation of the gas lift. Two people are recommended for assembly to ensure ease and safety, especially when handling larger components.
Compatibility
This bed is designed to accommodate a standard single-size mattress (approximately 90cm x 190cm or 3'0" x 6'3"). The mattress is not included and must be purchased separately. It is compatible with various mattress types, including sprung, foam, and hybrid, as long as they fit the single dimensions. The sturdy base provides adequate support for most mattress weights.
Care
- Faux Leather Frame: Wipe down the faux leather surfaces regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for faux leather, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, which can damage the material.
- Internal Storage Area: Periodically vacuum or wipe the lined storage compartment to remove dust and debris. Ensure items stored inside are clean and dry to prevent mould or mildew.
- Gas Lift Mechanism: The gas hydraulic system is generally maintenance-free. If you notice any stiffness or unusual sounds, ensure the mechanism is clear of obstructions. Do not attempt to oil or tamper with the gas struts unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- General Maintenance: Regularly check all bolts and fixings to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain the bed's structural integrity.
