It’s time to get started! Be sure to assemble your ottoman bed in the room where it will be used, and take your time to carefully unpack everything from the box.
Get familiar with all the parts, cross-referencing your instruction manual with the accessories to make sure you have everything you need. Once you’re confident you’ve got it all, let’s begin the assembly.

| || Prepare your space: Ensure you have enough room to assemble the ottoman bed. To protect your flooring, consider laying down a mat or sheet before you begin the build. |
| || Gather your tools: Double-check that you have all the necessary tools. Depending on the bed you’ve chosen, we may have included custom-made tools like spanners and Allen keys. Keep everything within easy reach for convenience. |
| || Review the instructions: With your space and tools ready, take the time to thoroughly read the instruction manual. This will help you understand each step and avoid any unexpected issues during assembly. |
| || Assemble the headboard: If your headboard comes in multiple pieces, start by putting it together. Secure all components using the provided bolts and dowels, ensuring everything is firmly in place. |
| || Assemble the bed frame and attach it to the headboard and footboard: Connect the side rails of the bed frame to the centre panels, securing them with the mini screws provided. Make sure all parts are tightly joined. Once done, attach the side rails to the headboard and footboard using the appropriate bolts or hooked brackets, depending on your bed model. |
| || Install the mechanism: Attach the ottoman bed lifting mechanism to both side rails, making sure to secure all fittings tightly once the bolts are in place. |
| || Assemble the bed base: Depending on the size of the bed you’ve ordered, the bed base might come in multiple sections. Whether you have two or four panels, align the flat ends together and secure them by fastening the bolts into the corresponding metal washers and base nuts. Use the provided Allen key to tighten everything securely. |
| || Attach the bed base to the lifting mechanism: Connect the bed base to the right and left mechanism frames, inserting the bolts as needed. However, avoid fully tightening them just yet! |
| || Adjust the base and ensure all fittings are secure: Once everything is loosely fitted, adjust the bed base as needed, ensuring that all gaps and spacings are correct. Once satisfied, tighten the screws securely into place. |

FAQs: (Frequently Ask Questions)
1. How do I assemble an ottoman bed?
Assembling an ottoman bed involves several steps, but it’s easier when you follow a clear guide. Start by ensuring you have all the parts and tools, including the headboard, footboard, side rails, and lifting mechanism. Assemble the headboard first, then connect the side rails to the center panels. Attach the lifting mechanism to the side rails and finally secure the bed base to the mechanism. Always follow the instruction manual specific to your bed model for best results.
2. What tools do I need to fix an ottoman bed?
To fix an ottoman bed, you’ll typically need an Allen key, spanners, and possibly a screwdriver, depending on the model. Some ottoman beds come with custom-made tools included, so double-check your package before starting. Keeping these tools close by will make the assembly process smoother and faster.
3. My ottoman bed isn’t lifting properly, how can I fix it?
If your ottoman bed isn’t lifting properly, it could be due to loose fittings or issues with the lifting mechanism. First, check that all the bolts and screws are tightly secured, particularly those attaching the mechanism to the bed frame. If the issue persists, it might be a problem with the gas struts, which sometimes need replacement. Refer to the manufacturer’s guide for troubleshooting tips or contact customer support for assistance.
4. How do I secure the bed base to the lifting mechanism?
To secure the bed base to the lifting mechanism, align the base panels with the mechanism frames, inserting the bolts as directed. Initially, don’t tighten the bolts fully—this allows for adjustments. Once everything is aligned and gaps are minimized, go back and tighten all bolts securely.
5. Can I fix my ottoman bed if it’s squeaking?
Yes, if your ottoman bed is squeaking, the noise is likely caused by loose fittings or friction between components. Tighten all bolts and screws to eliminate any play in the joints. You can also apply a small amount of lubricant to metal parts, such as the lifting mechanism, to reduce friction and noise.
6. What should I do if parts are missing from my ottoman bed package?
If parts are missing from your ottoman bed package, contact the retailer or manufacturer immediately. Most companies offer replacement parts under warranty. Be sure to check your package thoroughly and cross-reference with the parts list in the instruction manual to identify what’s missing.
7. How do I maintain my ottoman bed to ensure longevity?
To maintain your ottoman bed and ensure its longevity, regularly check and tighten all fittings, especially around the lifting mechanism. Avoid overloading the storage space, as excessive weight can strain the lifting system. Additionally, keep the bed clean and dust-free, particularly the moving parts, to prevent wear and tear.
8. Is it difficult to move an ottoman bed once assembled?
Moving an ottoman bed once it’s assembled can be challenging due to its size and weight. If you need to move it, it’s best to disassemble it partially by removing the base from the lifting mechanism and detaching the headboard and footboard. This will make the bed easier to manoeuvre through doorways and up stairs.
