Product Information
Maya Winged Ottoman Bed Frame
The Maya Winged Ottoman Bed Frame blends contemporary design with practical storage to create a refined and highly functional bedroom centrepiece. The bed features a plush upholstered headboard with elegant line detailing and distinctive winged sides that frame the sleeping area, creating a sense of enclosure and a cosy, inviting feel while maintaining a modern, sophisticated look.
Hidden beneath the mattress platform is a gas lift ottoman system that opens to reveal a spacious under-bed storage compartment approximately 25 cm deep. This generous space is ideal for storing bedding, pillows, seasonal clothing, and other bulky items, helping keep the bedroom organised without sacrificing style. The lift mechanism is designed to operate smoothly and safely, allowing easy access to the storage area whenever needed.
With its combination of comfort, clean lines, and integrated storage, the Maya Winged Ottoman Bed Frame is a smart and elegant solution for modern bedrooms where both aesthetics and functionality matter.
1. Place the Side Rail Left (3) and Side Rail Right (4) on the floor with the fixing holes facing upward.
2. Position the Corner Hook Left (G) on the inner end of the Side Rail Left (3) and the Corner Hook Right (H) on the inner end of the Side Rail Right (4).
3. Align the holes in each corner hook with the pre drilled holes in the side rails.
4. Secure each corner hook using Bolt M8 × 25 mm (A) and tighten with the Allen Key (I).
Tip:
Make sure the hooks are pointing upward and toward the inside of the bed frame so they can correctly connect to the headboard and footboard in the next steps.
2. Step 2
Title: Attach the Headboard Fixing Bolts
1. Locate the Headboard (1) and Footboard (2) and place them upright with the fixing holes facing inward.
2. Insert Bolt M8 × 25 mm (A) into each of the pre fitted threaded inserts on both ends of the headboard and footboard.
3. Screw each bolt in by hand, leaving approximately 10 mm of the bolt shaft exposed.
Tip:
Do not fully tighten the bolts. These bolts must remain loose so the side rail corner hooks can slide onto them in the next step.
3. Step 3
Title: Connect the Side Rails to the Headboard and Footboard
1. Position the Side Rail Left (3) and Side Rail Right (4) between the Headboard (1) and the Footboard (2).
2. Lift each side rail so the corner hooks slide down onto the bolts previously installed on the headboard and footboard.
3. Ensure the hooks fully engage with the bolts on both ends of each side rail.
4. Once all four corners are connected, tighten the bolts using the Allen Key (I) until they are approximately 90 percent tight.
Tip:
Do not fully tighten the bolts yet. Leaving slight movement allows the frame to align correctly when the cross bar and internal supports are installed in later steps.
4. Step 4
Title: Install the L Shape Brackets
1. Locate the fixing points on the inside of the Headboard (1) and Footboard (2).
2. Position the L Shape Brackets (14) onto the pre drilled mounting holes.
3. Secure each bracket using Bolt M8 × 25 mm (A) and tighten with the Allen Key (I).
- For Double or King size, use 2 L Shape Brackets (14) and 4 bolts (A).
- For Super King size, use 4 L Shape Brackets (14) and 8 bolts (A).
Note:
The Super King version of this bed uses a higher number of brackets and bolts than the Double or King version to provide additional support across the wider frame.
5. Step 5
Title: Secure the Frame Corners with Angled Corner Brackets
1. Move to each inside corner where the Side Rails (3 and 4) meet the Headboard (1) and Footboard (2).
2. Position an Angled Corner Bracket (9) inside each corner of the frame.
3. Align the holes in the bracket with the pre drilled holes in the side rails and bed ends.
4. Secure each bracket using Bolt M8 × 25 mm (A) and tighten with the Allen Key (I).
Important:
Before fully tightening the bolts, make sure the bed frame is perfectly squared so all corners form right angles. Once the frame is correctly aligned, tighten all bed assembly bolts to 100 percent to lock the structure in place.
6. Step 6
Title: Install the Gas Lift Mechanisms
1. Position the Gas Lift Mechanism Left (5) and Gas Lift Mechanism Right (6) inside the bed frame along the side rails.
2. Align each gas lift mechanism with the pre drilled holes on the Spacer Rails for Gas Lift Mechanism (7).
3. Insert Bolt M8 × 35 mm (B) through the gas lift mechanisms and into the spacer rails.
4. Tighten all bolts using the Allen Key (I) until both mechanisms are securely fixed and move freely.
Tip:
Make sure the mechanisms are mirrored correctly, with the lifting arms facing inward toward the centre of the bed frame.
7. Step 7
Title: Fit the Fabric Base Cover
1. Lift the gas lift arms slightly to create space inside the bed frame.
2. Place the Fabric Base Cover (11) flat inside the bed frame, making sure it sits evenly on the bottom of the storage area.
3. Adjust the cover so it fits neatly into all corners and lies flat against the base.
Tip:
Ensure the fabric base cover is fully unfolded and smooth before continuing, as it will form the base of the storage compartment.
8. Step 8
Title: Install the Side Rail Cross Bar
1. Position the Side Rail Cross Bar (8) across the middle of the bed frame so it spans between the Side Rail Left (3) and Side Rail Right (4).
2. Align the holes in the cross bar with the pre drilled holes in the side rails.
3. Secure each end of the cross bar using Bolt M8 × 25 mm (A).
4. Tighten all bolts using the Allen Key (I) until the cross bar is firmly fixed in place.
Tip:
Make sure the cross bar is centred and level, as it helps keep the frame rigid and correctly aligned.
9. Step 9
Title: Assemble the Metal Slat Frame
1. Place the two halves of the Metal Slat Frame (15) on the floor and unfold them so they form one complete frame.
2. Join the two halves together using the Metal Connection Plates (L) and secure them with Bolt M8 × 25 mm (A).
3. Attach the Mattress Stoppers (12) to the head end of the slat frame.
4. Fix the Fabric Handle (10) to the foot end of the slat frame.
Tip:
Make sure the slat frame is fully opened and flat before tightening the bolts so the two halves sit evenly and remain aligned.
10. Step 10
Title: Assemble the Super King Metal Slat Frame
1. Place the two halves of the Metal Slat Frame Super King (18) on the floor and unfold them into one complete frame.
2. Join the two sections together using the Metal Connection Plates (L) and secure them with Bolt M8 × 25 mm (A).
3. Fit the Mattress Stoppers (12) at the head end of the slat frame.
4. Attach the Fabric Handle (10) at the foot end of the slat frame.
Tip:
Make sure the slat frame is fully opened and lying flat before tightening the bolts so the frame sits square and stable.
11. Step 11
Title: Install the Gas Lift Pistons
1. Locate the Gas Lift Pistons (13) and the axle points on the gas lift mechanisms.
2. Slide the piston stem onto the axle on each mechanism.
3. Fit a Flanged Lock Nut M8 (K) onto each axle and tighten using the Spanner (J).
4. Leave a small gap between the nut and the piston stem so the joint can move freely.
Important:
Do not over tighten the lock nuts. A small clearance must remain to allow the gas lift pistons to pivot smoothly during operation.
12. Step 12
Title: Attach the Slat Frame to the Gas Lift Mechanisms
1. Lower the assembled Metal Slat Frame (15 or 18) into the bed frame so it rests on the gas lift mechanisms.
2. Align the fixing holes on the slat frame with the holes on the lifting arms of the gas lift mechanisms.
3. For each fixing point, insert Bolt M8 × 50 mm (C) from the top, then fit a Flat Washer (F), a Spring Washer (E) and a Nut for M8 Bolts (D) underneath.
4. Lightly tighten the three bolt sets on each side using the Allen Key (I) and Spanner (J).
5. Hold the slat frame down and adjust it so the gaps on both sides of the frame are even.
6. Once aligned, fully tighten all bolts to 100 percent.
Important:
Do not fully tighten the bolts until the slat frame is centred in the bed frame. Even spacing on both sides is essential for smooth and balanced lifting.
13. Step 13
Title: Check the Gas Lift Operation
1. Using the Fabric Handle (10), carefully lift the Metal Slat Frame (15 or 18) to raise the ottoman base.
2. Lower the slat frame back down slowly to confirm the gas lift mechanisms operate smoothly.
3. Check both sides to make sure the pistons move freely and remain securely attached.
Important:
If the slat frame does not lift or lower evenly, recheck the piston fixings from Step 11 and make sure the small clearance at the lock nuts is still present.
14. Step 14
Title: Attach the Wing Panels to the Headboard
1. Position the Wing Left (16) against the left side of the Headboard (1).
2. Align the pre drilled holes in the wing with the holes on the side of the headboard.
3. Secure the wing using Bolt M8 × 50 mm (C) and tighten with the Allen Key (I).
4. Repeat the process to attach the Wing Right (17) to the opposite side of the headboard.
Tip:
Hold each wing firmly in position while tightening the bolts to ensure it sits straight and flush against the headboard.
15. Safety and Storage Guidelines
A. Adult Use and Safe Operation
This ottoman bed is designed for adult use only and is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. The ease of lifting and lowering the bed depends on the user’s height and strength. Always operate the bed using the fabric handle with the mattress in place, and keep hands and body parts clear of the moving mechanism to avoid entrapment.
B. Using the Storage Area Safely
Always ensure the ottoman base is fully open before accessing the storage area. Do not reach into the storage space through the hinge or lifting mechanism. Keep children and pets away from the bed when it is open, and never stand or sit inside the internal storage area. Regularly inspect the bed to ensure it is functioning correctly.
C. Storage Height and Load Limits
Be careful what you store under the bed. Items such as suitcases or boxes must not touch the slats, as this may cause damage. The maximum storage height is 260 mm. Only store items that fit safely within this limit to ensure the bed operates correctly and safely.
