Using your Jardin wingback bed is a breeze. Just place your mattress on the slats and you're good to go - no box spring needed. You can lounge against the padded winged headboard while reading or watching TV. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the boucle fabric regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the wood base; a soft, damp cloth will do the trick. As the bed requires assembly, follow the instructions carefully. Make sure all the parts are properly tightened for safety. And remember, the bed has a weight capacity of 550 lbs, so don't overload it.
