Using your Modrest Lambert Bed is easy. First, assemble the bed according to the instructions included in the package. Once assembled, place your mattress on the platform base - no need for a box spring! You can choose a mattress with a thickness of around 8 inches for the best fit. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the fabric regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the beige teddy fabric. For spills, clean them up immediately with a mild detergent and water solution. Check the solid wood frame and metal slats periodically to make sure all parts are in good condition. If you need to move the bed, lift it carefully to avoid damaging the frame or the legs. Remember, this bed has a weight capacity of 900 lbs, so don't overload it.
