1. Gather Your Tools
Before you start, gather the following tools:
- Allen wrench (included with the bed)
- Screwdriver (Phillips and flathead)
- Adjustable wrench or pliers
- A helper (optional, but recommended)
2. Disconnect the Pump
Unplug the pump from the power outlet. Locate the air hose that connects the pump to the bed and disconnect it.
3. Deflate the Mattress
Turn the pump on and adjust the pressure to "0". This will deflate the mattress.
4. Remove the Legs
Flip the bed upside down and remove the screws holding the legs in place. Carefully detach the legs.
5. Detach the Headboard and Footboard
Locate the bolts that hold the headboard and footboard to the frame. Remove the bolts and separate the components.
6. Remove the Frame Rails
There are usually four frame rails that connect the headboard and footboard. Remove the bolts holding them together and disassemble the frame.
7. Disassemble the Base
Flip the base upside down and remove the screws holding the base together. Carefully separate the base into individual pieces.
8. Transporting the Parts
Once you have disassembled the bed, it’s time to transport the parts. Make sure to wrap the parts in protective material to prevent damage. If you’re not moving the bed far, you can simply carry the parts to their new location. For longer distances, consider renting a moving van or hiring movers.
