Using your new luxury platform bed is a breeze. First, assemble the bed according to the included instructions. It requires full assembly, so take your time to ensure all parts are securely connected. Once assembled, place your 8 - inch thick mattress directly on the platform; there's no need for a box spring. Choose queen - size pillows to avoid gaps at the head of the bed. The bed can support up to 600 pounds, so be mindful of the weight you put on it. To keep your bed looking its best, dust the wooden parts regularly with a soft cloth. For the linen upholstery, spot - clean any stains gently with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the material. If you have any questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.
