Using your new Nomad Upholstered Queen Bed is easy. First, since assembly is required, carefully follow the instructions included in the package. Once assembled, you can place your mattress on the slats. Make sure the mattress fits well within the interior dimensions of 61x82. For cleaning the Canberra Ivory fabric, follow the SW cleaning code. This usually means you can use a mild detergent and a soft brush to spot - clean any stains. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the brushed nickel hardware for any signs of looseness and tighten if necessary. Keep the bed away from direct sunlight to prevent the fabric from fading. Also, make sure the floor under the bed is clean to avoid any debris getting trapped and potentially scratching the oak frame.
