Using your Nova Domus Palermo Bed is easy. First, assemble it according to the included instructions. It's important to ensure all parts are securely fastened. Then, place your recommended 11 - inch thick mattress on the slats. For a Queen - sized bed, use a 60' x 80' mattress, and for an Eastern King, a 72' x 80' one. When it comes to weight, don't exceed 530 lbs for the Queen or 540 lbs for the Eastern King. To maintain your bed, clean the faux concrete and walnut finish with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the finish. Keep the bed in a dry environment to prevent any issues with the solid wood slats. If you notice any loose parts during use, tighten them promptly to ensure the bed's stability and longevity.
