Using your Modrest Amberlie bed is a breeze. Just place your recommended 8' mattress on the 14 slats, and you're all set for a comfortable sleep. Since no boxspring is required, you save on space and cost. For cleaning, simply use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the vegan leather surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the leather. When it comes to the walnut veneer frame, a light dusting with a dry cloth regularly will keep it looking great. If you move the bed, be careful as it weighs 163 lbs, and make sure to handle it with proper equipment to prevent any damage.
