*Please note: These are recommendations only, the actual quantity needed will vary depending on the
weight of the mattress including all bedding. We recommend starting with the higher quantity springs
shown in the table for your bed size. Adjustment will be done later at the end of this booklet.
There are 9 Spring
locations. Referring to the
spring application chart
and Fig. 1D-1G, insert
springs into the hole
numbers noted for the
amount of springs you will be using. Position
the spring with the open side of the hook
facing down as shown in
green
and hook it
into stationary portion of the mechanism slot
as shown in
blue
. Rotate the spring 180° (so
the open side of the hook is now facing up)
and hook the opposite side into the corresponding hole on the movable portion
of the mechanism as shown in
orange
. You’ll need to rotate the mechanism arm
forwards or backwards as you go to keep tension on the springs you’ve inserted
and to create the proper spacing for the spring you’re working on. Start with the
higher quantity of springs listed for your bed size, you may have to add or remove
springs depending on the weight of your mattress.

We recommend you start adding springs toward to the top of the mechanism first (at
or near hole #9) and work your way down, adjusting the mechanism arm as you go
to keep tension on the existing springs. Once finished, you can place a shim under
the springs temporarily to keep the springs from falling out of place.
