A Queen Storage Bed Wrapped in Channels

The Alina queen storage bed is made for the smaller bedroom that has room for a bed and little else, where every bit of storage has to come from the furniture already in it. It is built in two layers. The top layer is the sleeping platform: wood slats laid across a metal frame, hinged at the headboard so the whole platform tips up from the foot end. Gas struts on both sides help raise it, and a pull strap at the center of the footboard is the only handle it needs. The bottom layer is an open storage base the length and width of the platform, padded with foam and upholstered in faux fur on every outside face. At the head, a channel-tufted headboard stands well above the pillows, and low legs set under the base keep the upholstery just off the floor.

Features

• Gas Lift Storage Base that holds bulky things like luggage, spare blankets and holiday decor, keeping them out of the closet and off the bedroom floor
• Foot-End Pull Strap that opens the platform from the end of the bed, so nightstands on either side never get in the way of the lift
• Padded Channel Rails on every side of the base, so there is no hard corner to catch a shin or a toe on the way to bed in the dark
• Faux Fur Upholstery that gives the room a soft, layered texture on its own, so the bed looks cozy even under plain bedding
• Wood Slat Platform over a metal frame that holds the mattress directly, so no box spring is needed
• 500-Pound Weight Capacity for two sleepers and a queen mattress together, carried by the slatted platform and the metal frame
• Small Bedroom Storage for guest rooms and apartment bedrooms, where one queen bed can take over the job of a chest of drawers

• Mattress Support: Wood Slats
• Lift Mechanism: Gas Struts
• Legs: Plastic

Care Instructions

• Place the mattress on the platform before using the lift; the gas struts are balanced for a mattress’s weight, and an empty platform can rise quickly
• Keep hands and items clear of the hinge and the storage edge when lowering the platform
• Pack stored items below the top of the side rails so the platform closes flat
• Brush the faux fur with a soft brush in one direction to keep the pile lying evenly
• Vacuum on a low setting with an upholstery attachment, holding the nozzle just above the surface
• Clean between the channels with a soft brush, since dust settles in the grooves
• Blot spills right away with a dry cloth; rubbing mats the pile
• Spot clean with a cloth dampened in cool water and a little mild soap, then blot and let it air dry
• Never use a hair dryer, iron or other heat on the fabric; heat can melt or frizz synthetic fur
• Once dry, fluff the pile with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb
• Keep the bed away from radiators and long periods of direct sunlight
• Check and tighten the frame bolts and gas strut fittings every few months
• Lift the frame rather than dragging it when moving
