Using your Blakely sleigh bed is super easy. Just place your mattress on the full decking, and you're ready to enjoy a good night's sleep. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the birch wood and veneer. If there are any spills, clean them up right away to prevent stains. To keep the bed in top - shape, avoid placing heavy objects on the edges that could cause the bed to warp. Also, check the joints and connections every few months to make sure they're tight. With proper care, your Blakely sleigh bed will last you for years.
