Using your Modrest Athena Bed is easy. First, assemble the bed according to the included instructions. Since it comes with slats, you don't need a box spring. Just place the mattress on the slats and you're ready to go. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the fabric regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the fabric or the gold accents. For spills, gently blot the area with a clean, damp cloth. Be careful not to exceed the 1100 - pound weight capacity to ensure the bed's longevity. And remember, this bed isn't compatible with adjustable beds, so use it on a flat surface.
