How to set up your Queen Yona bed

Our Queen bed is our most popular size! Don't worry, there are no tools required for this set up - just your hands and some cardboard.

Step 1

Take both halves of your bed out of the box, and put them next to each other.

If you can't fit both halves next to each other, take a look at our special instructions for setting up in a small room (most people don't need this).

Step 2

Grab the right cardboard piece and stretch it out! 

You should stretch it until it’s as long as your Queen mattress (that’s 203cm).

Having trouble getting it to stay still? Does it keep springing back?
Push through 💪🏽 The next couple of steps help to keep it stretched out.

Step 3

Now connect the flaps on both sides of the right piece. 

You will need to first push the flaps inwards, towards the bed, and then hook them together. You can see this process in the video above.

Just remember to be gentle, as you don’t want the flaps to fray in case you want to pack up & move the bed later on.

Instead of just forcing the hooks together and fraying them in the process, you should be slightly lifting the upper hook and gently placing it above the lower hook. This will keep the hook secure, and prevent fraying.

Once completed, the interconnected flaps should look like this:

Step 4

Grab the left cardboard piece and stretch it out! 

Remember, you should stretch it until it’s as long as your Queen mattress (that’s 203cm).

Step 5

Now connect the flaps on both sides of the left piece. 

You will need to first push the flaps inwards, towards the bed, and then hook them together. You can see this process in the video above.

Just remember to be gentle, as you don’t want the flaps to fray in case you want to fold up & move the bed later on.

Instead of just forcing the hooks together and fraying them in the process, you should be slightly lifting the upper hook and gently placing it above the lower hook. This will keep the hook secure, and prevent fraying.

Once completed, the interconnected flaps should look like this:

Still having trouble getting it to stay still? Does it keep springing back?
After being couped up in a box for a little, our pieces might need some time to stretch out. Put each half on it's side as shown here and leave it for 5-10 minutes before giving it another go.

Step 6

Now you need to push the halves together, so they’re just about touching one another (but not overlapping).

You may need to do some minor adjusting to get the bed to the right length and width. 

If a few of the flaps between the two halves become unhooked in the process of putting them together, it doesn’t really matter. You will never be able to see this, and it doesn’t affect the strength or durability of the bed!

Step 7

(Gently) place your mattress on top of the bed! This step is usually easier with a partner, depending on how heavy your mattress is.

Step 8

Do some final adjusting, tucking in the bed if it’s sticking out.
