Antique Bed Base Assembly Guide

Assembling your bed base

Assembling your Odd Company bed base is quick and straightforward. Follow these four simple steps to ensure your base is fitted securely, level, and perfectly aligned with your bed frame.

What You’ll Need

                • Screw driver
                • Tape measure
                • Pencil

1. Unfold the Base

Unfold the base on the bed frame, making sure it sits squarely and evenly on all sides of the bed.
Check that the edges of the base align neatly with the bed frame.

2. Locate the Cross Slats

Find the wooden cross slats at each end of the base.
Each slat runs across the full width of the bed and should be positioned around 6 inches (15 cm) from each end.

3. Mark the Base

On the underside of the base, mark where each wooden cross slat meets the side rails of the bed — one mark in each corner.
This will help you correctly align the fixing blocks later

4. Attach the Blocks

Turn the base over and screw the four supplied blocks into the wooden cross slats along the marked lines.
Once fitted, these blocks will hold the base securely in place and prevent movement during use.
