Assembling the Courtney Bed

Thank you for purchasing the Courtney Bed. This manual will guide you through the

complete assembly. Although this process can be completed with one person, it is much

easier to accomplish with two people. We recommend fully reading the instructions

before starting.

Many holes are indented. We reference these in the instructions to describe which way

the boards need to be assembled. Please familiarize yourself with the difference, this will

ensure the bed is assembled correctly.

Typical Indented Hole Typical Non-Indented Hole

60 mm x ¼” connector bolt

100 mm x ¼” connector bolt

70 mm x 5/16” connector bolt

100 mm x 5/16” connector bolt ¼” connector cap

The connection points are labeled with

stickers that have letter/number

combinations clearly identifying the

connection. These stickers will be shown

in this manual as a yellow highlight: B3T

Both pieces will have the same

sticker on them. When the

connection is correct matching

stickers will be touching each other.

If you completed the prior steps correctly, the bed should be standing on its own and have

fabric hanging on all 4 sides.

In these next steps, the 4 corner posts are going to be opened to install the sides of the

fabric panels, install the interior corner padding, and install the bottom fabric clamps to

fully secure the fabric.

Your current bed should look like the sketch below.

Page 22 of 35

Step 12 – Secure the Fabric edges and install the Interior Corner Padding.

Repeat this step for all 4 corners.

You will need:

(4) Interior Corner Pads



Starting at a corner,

remove the two connector

caps loosely installed

earlier

Page 23 of 35


Separate the two uprights

by a couple inches, enough

to allow the fabric edges

from the Front and End

Fabric Panels to be pulled

through.

Make sure the tabs on the

Panels are all the way out

and not folded over

Page 24 of 35


From inside the bed, push

the fabric from the interior

corner pad out between the

separated uprights.

Page 25 of 35


Outside the bed there are

now three pieces of fabric

between the upright posts.

Make sure all three are flat

and not wrinkled.

Repeat this Step for the remaining 3 corners

One Connector Bolt at a

time start working them

through the upright and

through each of the three

grommets and into the

other upright.

It is very important to

make sure the bolt passes

through all three

grommets.

Do this for the upper 4

connector bolts. The

bottom one does not have

any fabric between the

posts but you can install

the bolt now

Once all 5 bolts are

through you can install the

connector caps and snug

them up. They do not need

to be fully tight at this

point.

in each, leaving every other

hole open. The connector bolts

install from the outside and the

caps go on the inside, on the

bottom fabric clamps.

The bottom grommets of the

fabric panel go between the

two pieces of wood and the

connector bolts go through the

grommets.

C3B

The Clamps go on the inside of the

frame. Shown here installed

without the fabric for clarity.

Step 15 – Tighten Top Fabric Clamp Bolts

Tighten all the connector bolts and caps in the top fabric clamps.

Double check that the fabric is lying flat between the boards before fully

tightening.

Tighten all 4 sides securely

Page 29 of 35

Step 16 – Install the Cross Supports

You will need:

(3) 33 ½” x 2 ¼” Cross Supports

Connector bolts in the

holes left open in the

earlier step.

When installing the bolts

make sure it lines up with

the grommets in the fabric.

Do not force it through the

fabric. You may need to

loosen the clamp board to

get it aligned.

Page 30 of 35

Step 17 – Install the Mattress Boards

clarity.

Each Mattress Board has 5 predrilled

holes for securing them down. Using

a drill and the 1/8” drill bit supplied,

drill pilot holes for your wood screws

into the support boards below. Once

pilot holes are drilled, install the

corresponding wood screws.

Make sure to seat the screws into the

countersink to prevent damage the

mattress.

Page 32 of 35

Congratulations you’re almost done. Your bedframe is now loosely assembled, and you

just need to tension your fabric, tighten everything up, and install the mattress.

Page 33 of 35

Step 18 – Tension the Fabric Panels

Each Fabric panel has 4

pull tabs on the edge.

These tabs allow for

pulling the sides snug.

Make sure the Front Panel

is zipped closed while

adjusting the tension. If it

is open, it is possible to

add too much tension and

then the zipper will not

function.

In pairs, 2 connector bolts at a time, loosen them

slightly. They still need to be snug so the hold

the tension in the panel as you pull.

When the desired tension is reached, tighten the

connector bolts.

Repeat this process anywhere the tension needs

to be adjusted.

Page 34 of 35

Step 19 – Place the mattress in the bed

After the mattress has regained its shape, it can

be installed in the bed.

It is a snug fit and will need to be pushed down

in on all sides.

Once tucked in it should lay flat in the bed.

Care and Cleaning of the Courtney Bed

Fabric Panels can be gently hand-washed while still attached to the bed. Use mild soap

and warm water with a clean cloth and wash both inside and outside at the same time,

going in opposite directions. Gently rinse with clean water.

Some customers have used a hand-held steam cleaner to remove stubborn stains.

Panels can be taken off the frame if needed and machine washed on delicate cycle and

hung out to dry. The panels should not be dry-cleaned.
