Specifications

Usage & Configuration

The daybed can be used in multiple configurations: as a single sofa, a single bed, or a double bed using the trundle.

As a Sofa: Use the main frame with back cushions. The trundle can be stored underneath.

As a Single Bed: Remove back cushions. The main frame provides a standard twin-size sleeping surface.

As a Double Bed: Pull the trundle out to be level with the main bed, creating a larger sleeping area. Ensure the floor is clear and level.

Tip: For regular use as a bed, consider using a mattress topper for added comfort.

Mattress & Bedding

Mattresses are sold separately. Recommended size is 90x200 cm (Twin) for both the main and trundle beds.

  1. Place the mattress on the slatted base. Ensure it fits snugly within the frame.
  2. For the trundle, use a low-profile mattress (approx. 10-15 cm thick) to allow it to slide underneath easily.
  3. Use standard twin-size bedding (sheets, duvets).

WARNING! Do not use a mattress that is too thick for the trundle, as it may not fit underneath or may hinder movement.

Care & Maintenance

Fabric Covers: Check care label. Most are removable and machine washable at 40°C (104°F). Do not bleach. Tumble dry low.

Wooden Frame: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Slats & Mechanism: Check tightness of screws periodically. Lubricate trundle castors if they become stiff.

CAUTION! Do not soak the wooden parts. Avoid placing in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent warping or fading.
