Know before you buy
The bed must be securely anchored to a wall for safety. While the necessary hardware is included, you will need to purchase specific wall anchors that match your wall type—such as wood studs, brick, or concrete—to ensure a stable installation.
Yes, as long as your mattress is a standard queen size (60″ x 80″) and no thicker than 11 inches. We also recommend a mattress weight between 55 and 75 pounds to ensure the piston mechanism functions correctly.
The back of the bed frame is notched by 5.7 inches, allowing it to sit flush against the wall even if you have standard baseboards. This design feature helps achieve that clean, built-in look without needing to remove your trim.
Assembly is a significant project that typically takes two people about five hours to complete. We recommend setting aside a full afternoon and following the provided instructions carefully to ensure the mechanism operates smoothly.
Not at all. The Expanse is designed to function as a regular bed, so you can leave it in the down position permanently if you prefer. It only needs to be raised when you want to reclaim the floor space for other activities.
The bed features an integrated slat system built into the steel frame. These slats provide the necessary support for your mattress while promoting airflow, which helps keep your bedding fresh and comfortable.
