Using the Diego Low Upholstered Platform Bed is easy. First, place it in your bedroom where you want it. Then, choose a mattress with a height between 8 and 12 inches and put it on the bed. If you have an adjustable base, you can also use it with this bed. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe the polyester upholstery regularly to keep it clean. For the wood legs, you can use a wood cleaner occasionally to maintain their appearance. Avoid placing the bed in direct sunlight for a long time as it may fade the color of the polyester. Also, be careful not to scratch the wood legs. If there are any stains on the upholstery, spot - clean them gently with a mild detergent and water.
