Using this bed is simple. Just make sure it's placed on a flat surface in your bedroom. When making the bed, use sheets that fit the king - size dimensions of 88.5 inches by 90 inches. For cleaning, use a soft cloth to wipe the boucle upholstery gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the material. The birch wood frame can be dusted regularly with a dry cloth. Check the blackened iron base from time to time for any signs of rust or damage. If you notice any issues, contact the customer service for further assistance.
