To keep your velvet upholstered furniture looking its best, we suggest occasionally vacuuming the material to remove any bits that may be resting on the surface. To clean more stubborn surface marks, mix some dish soap (uncoloured) with some lukewarm water or a specialised fabric cleaner and use a spray bottle to lightly mist the solution over the velvet. Then, use something such as a cotton towel to gently wipe the mark away.

Avoid heavy blotting or rubbing as this will potentially damage the surface. We suggest that you try to wipe up any spills with a paper towel or soft cloth as soon as they occur and that you make sure the material is dried thoroughly after cleaning.

If the velvet has creases or has been a little squashed in transit, leave it for a few days in a warm environment and the velvet pile will relax. If you would prefer to speed up this process, use a hairdryer on a medium heat, from a distance of around 18in, warm the area and run your hand over the creases and they'll disappear.

This bed with storage will be delivered to you in two or three boxes. You'll need to attach the pieces together using the instructions and fitting provided. We'd recommend two people to put the bed together.

Once you have put the bed together, pop your mattress on then try lifting up the ottoman, we recommend you don't try it without the mattress. Unlike some ottoman beds on the market we have increased the weight bearing of our gas lift mechanisms to make it easier for you to lift your ottoman up and down. The first few time of using the ottoman may appear stiff, however, this will loosen up over time.
