Using this bed set is easy. Just place your mattress on the mattress area, which is sized 84L x 61W and works well with most adjustable beds. You can then add your favorite accent pillows on the tall headboard. When it comes to maintenance, regularly dust the bed with a soft cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the polyester material. If there are any spills, clean them up immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Also, check the four box spring support beams and 6 - inch tall legs periodically to ensure they are stable and tight. If you notice any loose parts, tighten them with a simple tool. With proper care, this bed set will serve you well for a long time.
