axelbloom BEDS Bed Frame Center Beam Installation Manual

SUMMARY:
The function of the centerbeam is to provide support to the Axel Bloom bed suspension system when it is
placed into a bed frame (queen size and larger beds only). Since the bed suspension comes in two halves, each
half of the bed suspension must be supported on one side by two L-shaped brackets (fi g. 1, option 1) or a ledge
(fi g 1, option 2), and by the center beam on the other side.
When installing the center beam, the level of the beam has to be adjusted to the same height as the other
supporting L-shaped brackets or ledges. This is achieved by securing both ends of the beam with the supplied
metal brackets and adjusting the height of the beam's plastic foot so that the beam is completely horizontal.

Refer to fi g. 2 below for illustration.
1. Position the center beam in the bed frame at the height you
desire to install it. Determine whether you will need to use the foot
extender to reach this desired height. *note: once attached, the
foot will be very diffi cult to remove, so measure carefully!
2. Turn the beam upside down on the fl oor (notches face down) and
use a rubber mallet to attach the foot extender (if needed) and the
plastic foot to the bottom of the center beam.
3. Snap the 3-hole metal brackets to the head and foot board at the
desired height, and the 2-hole metal brackets to the side boards at
the same height. Make sure they are securely fastened by tapping on
them with a hammer.
