Using your Flynn Full Platform Bed is easy. First, make sure you've assembled it correctly as per the instructions. Place your mattress directly on the slats; there's no need for a box spring. You can use the optional case pieces to store clothes, bedding, or other items. Keep your bed in a dry environment to prevent the Mahogany wood from warping. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth regularly. If there are stains, use a mild wood cleaner. When moving the bed, lift it carefully to avoid scratching the finish. Enjoy your comfortable and stylish bed for years to come.
