Using your Cove King Bed is easy. Just make sure to place it in a well - ventilated area of your bedroom. When making the bed, handle the leather straps gently to keep their shape. To clean the bed, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the teak wood frame regularly. For the leather straps, you can use a leather cleaner once in a while. Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the leather and damage the wood. Also, keep sharp objects away from the bed to prevent scratches on the wood and tears in the leather.
