What are the exact dimensions of this bed frame?

The bed measures 200cm length x 145cm width x 110cm height. This accommodates a standard 4ft6 double mattress (135x190cm). The frame extends slightly beyond the mattress size to provide the storage mechanism and headboard. You'll need approximately 220cm x 165cm floor space to allow for the hydraulic lift operation and bedroom access.

How much storage space is available under the bed?

The hydraulic lift reveals the entire under-bed area for storage. With the bed base measuring 135x190cm, you get substantial storage volume equivalent to several large storage boxes. The space can accommodate bedding sets, seasonal clothing, shoes or other household items. The hydraulic mechanism makes accessing this storage effortless compared to traditional ottoman beds.

Does the LED lighting system require professional installation?

No professional installation is needed. The LED strips are pre-installed and connect to a control unit that plugs into a standard wall socket. Download the mobile app to your smartphone and follow the pairing instructions. The system includes all necessary cables and the control unit. Setup typically takes 10-15 minutes once the bed is assembled.

What devices can I charge using the built-in charging station?

The charging station includes both USB-A and Type-C ports supporting most modern devices. Charge smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, e-readers, wireless headphones and other small electronics. The ports provide standard charging speeds suitable for overnight charging. The positioning at the headboard keeps cables tidy and devices within easy reach.

Is assembly required and how long does it take?

Assembly is required but all hardware and instructions are included. Most people complete assembly in 2-3 hours with basic tools. The hydraulic mechanism comes pre-assembled to ensure proper operation. You'll mainly connect the frame pieces, attach the headboard and connect the electrical components. Two people make assembly easier, especially when positioning the heavier components.

Can I use any type of mattress with this bed frame?

How do I clean and maintain the PU leather upholstery?

Clean the PU leather with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. Wipe dry immediately to prevent water marks. For deeper cleaning, use leather-safe cleaning products. Regular dusting and occasional conditioning will keep the upholstery looking new. The material resists stains better than fabric alternatives.

What safety features does the hydraulic lift mechanism include?
