Using your Vaughn Full Bed is easy. Just assemble it according to the instructions included in the package. Since a boxspring isn't required, you can directly place your mattress on the slats. For a better look and feel, make sure to tuck in your sheets neatly. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the boucle fabric regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the wood base and fabric. If there are any spills on the fabric, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Be careful not to exceed the 550 - pound weight capacity to ensure the bed's long - lasting durability. And if you need to move the bed, disassemble it first to prevent any damage.
