Beds & Bed Frames

Check the exact mattress dimensions accepted and the frame's outside measurements, including the headboard. Size names vary between markets and cannot replace measurements. Allow for passage on both sides, wardrobe doors and the final height with base and mattress fitted. A projecting edge can reduce walking space even when the sleeping surface remains the same.

Read the mattress instructions for slat spacing, supporting surface and use on adjustable bases. A base with the correct width can still be incompatible. Check whether a central rail, additional legs or particular fixings are required and what the purchase includes. The stated load limit must apply to the planned combination; clarify whether it includes mattress and occupants rather than adding separate capacities as though they were equivalent.

• Do not assume the mattress, base and headboard are included.
• For an adjustable base, confirm compatibility explicitly for both products.

Drawers need side clearance to extend fully. A lift-up base offers access from above but needs room when open and must suit the specified mattress weight. Follow the mechanism's instructions and do not improvise changes to its supports. Do not allow play inside the compartment or beside moving parts. Closed storage volume alone does not describe how easy it is to reach belongings.

Check component sizes, bedroom access and assembly space without straining joints. Ensure the supports can be installed as the manufacturer specifies and investigate replacement components. The base must meet the mattress's ventilation requirements; do not obstruct designed openings with boxes or coverings. Clean according to the finish and inspect fixings at the stated intervals, without tightening or altering mechanisms beyond the instructions.
