Using your Vaughn Cream Boucle Full Bed is easy. First, assemble the bed according to the instructions provided. Place it in your bedroom where you want it. You don't need a boxspring, so just put your mattress directly on the slats. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the boucle fabric regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the fabric or the wood base. If there are any spills, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For the black - finished rubberwood base, you can use a mild wood cleaner occasionally to keep it looking good. Make sure not to overload the bed as it has a weight capacity of 550 lbs. With proper care, your bed will last for a long time and continue to provide you with a comfortable sleep.
