ASSEMBLY GUIDE
Set up without the headache.
Four steps. One hex wrench. About thirty minutes. That's the whole job.
01
Unbox
5 minOpen both boxes. Lay each piece flat on the floor. You'll find the frame rails, slat connectors, and a small hardware bag. Count the bolts — eight total.
Tip: Use a rug or soft surface to protect the powder coat finish.
02
Build the frame
15 minSlide the side rails into the headboard and footboard brackets. Hand-tighten the bolts first — alignment is easier when everything can still move slightly.
Tip: One person holds, one person tightens. Faster and more accurate.
03
Lay the slats
5 minDrop the slats into the notched connectors across the frame. No tools needed for this step. They click into place and are evenly spaced by the frame geometry.
Tip: Start from the center and work outward for even tension.
04
Final tighten & check
5 minGo around each bolt with the included wrench and snug everything down. Press down on each corner — solid, no flex, no creak. Place your mattress on the slats.
Tip: A quick torque check every 6 months keeps things quiet forever.
Assembly FAQ
Do I need a box spring? +
No. UniPeak frames are designed to support your mattress directly on the steel slats. A box spring is not needed and not recommended.
What's in the box? +
Frame rails, headboard and footboard brackets, steel slats, center support beam, hardware bag with bolts, and an included hex wrench.
Can I assemble alone? +
Yes. Every piece weighs under 15 lbs and the frame is designed for solo assembly. A helper makes it faster but isn't required.
Does the frame creak? +
No. Reinforced joints and rubber-padded contact points eliminate squeaks and movement noise. A torque check every 6 months keeps it silent.
