Assembly Instructions

Assemble the IKEA KURA bed according to its manual first. The tent requires no tools.

  1. Unfold the fabric canopy completely on a clean, flat surface.
  2. Identify the four corner straps. Each has a plastic hook.
  3. Locate the four upper corners of the KURA bed frame.
  4. Proceed to the attachment steps in the next section.

Tip: Two people make assembly easier.

Attaching to KURA Bed

Follow these steps to securely attach the canopy to the bed frame.

  1. Position the canopy over the bed so the door aligns with your desired opening side.
  2. Take one hook strap and attach the plastic hook to the metal bed frame at one of the four top corners. Ensure it clicks securely onto the frame.
  3. Repeat step 2 for the remaining three corners.
  4. Once all hooks are attached, gently pull down on each strap to tension the canopy evenly. The fabric should be taut but not stretched excessively.
  5. Adjust strap lengths if necessary for a snug, wrinkle-free fit.

WARNING! Ensure hooks are fully engaged on the frame to prevent detachment.

Setup & Adjustment

Using the Bed Tent

Create a fun and private space for play, reading, or sleeping.

  1. Access: Enter and exit through the roll-up door.
