How to Make Your Get Laid Bed Last for Years

By Kara-May 26 July 2025

A care guide for keeping your handcrafted bed looking and feeling its best

At Get Laid Beds, we build each bed with longevity in mind, using sustainably sourced solid wood and time-honoured joinery to create frames that are made to last. But like any high-quality piece of furniture, your bed deserves a little attention now and then to keep it in peak condition.

Here’s how you can easily maintain your Get Laid Bed and enjoy many years of restful, stylish sleep.

1. Choose the Right Location

Where you place your bed can have a big impact over time:

  • Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause natural fading of the wood finish.

  • Keep it well-ventilated: Airflow prevents moisture build-up, which helps maintain the integrity of the wood.

  • Level flooring: Ensures even weight distribution and reduces stress on joints.

A stable, calm environment lets your bed frame settle naturally and supports its long-term performance.

2. Perform Seasonal Check-Ups

A quick 10-minute check every few months keeps everything secure:

  • Tighten screws and bolts: Wooden frames can subtly shift with seasonal temperature and humidity changes. A gentle retighten keeps joints snug and silent.

  • Check the slats: Ensure they’re evenly spaced and properly seated to provide consistent support.

This isn’t about solving problems, it’s about preserving that flawless feel and finish.

3. Clean with Care

Dust and minor debris can collect in hidden corners. For best results:

  • Use a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth to wipe down surfaces.

  • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or excessive water, which can harm the wood.

  • Polish occasionally with a natural wood-safe product to enhance the grain and nourish the finish.

Your bed frame will reward gentle care with continued beauty.

4. Use with the Right Mattress and Support

To protect the frame and maximise comfort:

  • Choose a mattress that suits your sleeping style and fits the dimensions of the bed correctly.

  • Don’t exceed weight recommendations, our beds are strong, but respecting the guidelines ensures optimal lifespan.

  • For storage beds, distribute weight evenly inside the drawers or ottoman base.

Every element works together to create lasting support.

5. Avoid Excessive Force or Movement

While our beds are built to be strong, here’s what we recommend:

  • Don’t drag the frame when moving, always lift with help to avoid putting stress on joints.

  • Try not to jump on the bed or use it as a standing platform.

  • When rearranging the room, disassemble carefully and follow our reassembly instructions for best results.

Treating your bed with care helps preserve its beautiful structure.
