Measure inside length × width × height of the storage bay to estimate litres. Plan for your biggest items first (duvets, luggage), then fill with bins or soft organisers.
Tip: leave a small gap (~5–8 cm) at the foot end to avoid scuffing when lifting the platform.
Match mattress size and weight to the frame’s spec so the gas struts lift smoothly. Ultra-heavy mattresses can reduce lift ease; balanced medium profiles are ideal.
Check your frame’s recommended mattress range for best results.
Plan clear walkways and access to lift the platform safely. Keep bedside surfaces within reach; ensure wardrobe doors and drawers open without blocking the bed mechanism.
Small rooms work best with simplified furniture footprints and a unified palette.
Use: labelled soft bins or 40–70L boxes; heaviest items closer to the headboard side.
Avoid: liquids, fragile electronics, or items you need multiple times a day.
Pro tip: add cedar blocks or sachets to keep things fresh.
Gas Strut Care & Frame Maintenance
Periodically check fasteners, keep hinges clean, and follow the frame’s strut care notes. Lift with two hands; avoid forcing the platform against obstructions.
