Let us be brutally honest. Bed assembly is one of those tasks that looks easy in your head until you open the box. Suddenly there are ten screws you swear were not on the instruction sheet and the Allen key feels like it is judging you.
But do not panic. Welcome to the Assembly and Setup category where Funkybedz walks you through building a bed without breaking a sweat. This is the lazy person’s guide which means simple tips clear steps and absolutely no crying on the carpet.
Step one Forget the panic lay everything out
The first mistake people make is rushing in like a DIY superhero. Slow down. Unbox everything and lay it neatly on the floor. When you can see all the parts you instantly feel more in control.
It also helps you spot any pieces that look unfamiliar so you can match them with the instructions right away. You can keep our bed frame assembly instructions open in another tab for backup.
Step two Bring reinforcements snacks included
You do not need a whole team of builders to assemble a Funkybedz frame but having one extra pair of hands makes everything easier. Offer them tea biscuits or emotional support. Whatever works.
Step three Do not fight the instructions
We all know someone who thinks they can build furniture from pure vibes. Do not be that person. Funkybedz instructions are incredibly simple if you follow them in order. No skipping ahead. No picking random screws because they look right.
If you chose one of our ottoman beds or gas lift beds the mechanism will come with clear steps to avoid confusion.
Step four Power tools are optional not required
Funkybedz frames are designed so you do not need serious tools. If you have a screwdriver and the provided Allen key you are already ahead of the game. Power tools are fine if you know how to use them but do not over tighten anything or you will hear little cracking noises that ruin your soul.
Step five Build the frame first mattress later
Some people put the mattress in the room first then realise they are tripping over it. Clear the floor. Assemble the bed frame completely. Then bring the mattress in like the final boss battle.
Speaking of upgrades if your mattress is older than your favourite playlist it might be time to explore our mattress collection. Because there is nothing worse than building a beautiful new bed only to drop a tired lumpy mattress on top.
Step six Do not tighten everything at once
This is the rule nobody tells you but it is the secret to wobble free results. Assemble everything loosely first then tighten the screws at the very end. This keeps the bed perfectly aligned and stops gaps from forming.
Step seven If it is a storage bed test the lift slowly
First time opening an ottoman storage bed is a thrilling moment. But please lift it gently. The smooth motion on our end lift storage beds and side lift storage beds means it glides naturally. No dramatic launching necessary.
Step eight Celebrate the victory you earned it
Once everything is screwed tight and feeling solid step back and admire your work. You have built a proper Yorkshire made masterpiece without any meltdowns. Not bad for someone who calls themselves lazy.
Throw on fresh bedding switch on the fairy lights and enjoy the smug satisfaction of having built your own throne of sleep.
