Using your Sophia Gray Faux Leather Platform Bed is easy. First, assemble it following the included instructions. Since it doesn't need a box spring, just place your mattress directly on the bed frame. Lean back on the soft foam headboard to enjoy a good book or your favorite movie. When it comes to cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner on the faux leather to keep it looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. For the metal legs, a simple wipe with a damp cloth will do. As for maintenance, check the assembly parts periodically to make sure everything is tight and secure. If you have any issues with the bed, contact the customer service for help.
