How to care for your bed?
To keep your bed beautiful, comfortable, and sturdy for many years, it is important to care for it not only when you notice stains or creaking. Small, regular maintenance steps help protect the fabric from dust, the construction from wear, and the overall appearance of the bed from everyday signs of use. Here are our recommendations to help you care for your LONAS bed easily and with confidence.
Vacuuming. We recommend vacuuming the bed at least once a month using a special soft vacuum cleaner attachment. This helps remove dust, hair, and other small particles.
Cleaning. We recommend dry cleaning the bed fabrics. Accidents can happen, and almost all fabrics used for LONAS beds and furniture can be cleaned with gentle upholstery fabric cleaners. However, there is a small risk that cleaning products may alter the fabric colour, so we recommend testing the cleaner first on a small, hidden area of the bed. In the LONAS online store, we offer OA Sofa Care upholstery cleaners that we have tested and recommend, but you may also choose any other cleaner containing non-ionic and anionic surfactants. These ingredients gently yet effectively remove grease and stains, do not damage the fabric, and help preserve its softness.
Different fabric types may require slightly different care, so it is worth considering the texture and properties of the fabric:


Tightening. If the bed frame begins to creak due to long-term use of the slatted base lifting mechanism, lubricate the hinges of the lifting mechanism with oil, liquid silicone, or another clear lubricant, then retighten the bed assembly screws. In most cases, this helps eliminate the creaking. If the problem persists, we recommend contacting LONAS specialists without delay.
Slat care. We recommend inspecting the bed slats once a year to make sure they are not cracked, deformed, or otherwise damaged. Noticing damage in time helps protect the mattress and prevent more serious defects in the bed frame. If the bed has a bedding box, do not lift it by the slats. A special lifting handle is provided for this purpose. Lifting the bed by the slats may cause them to break out together with the side fastening parts. We also recommend not allowing children to jump on the bed. This kind of pressure may damage the slats and, over time, affect the entire bed frame.
Moving the bed. We do not recommend pushing or sliding the bed without lifting it off the floor. The support leg in the centre of the bed helps maintain the stability of the frame, but it may bend or become damaged when the bed is pushed. This may also damage the other bed legs. To move the bed, it should be carefully lifted and carried. This helps protect the frame, the legs, and the floor surface.
Keeping away from light. The colour fading test according to ISO 105-B2 is carried out by exposing the fabric to intense xenon lamp light. Results are rated on a scale from 0 to 8, where 0 means very poor light resistance and 8 means complete resistance. Most LONAS bed fabrics are rated 4–6 points, so they are sufficiently resistant to fading. However, prolonged exposure to intense light may cause the fabric to fade, so we recommend keeping the bed away from direct sunlight and strong spotlights.
