This applies to the YouLift Bed.
The YouLift Bed is designed to be lifted manually, which helps keep the bed affordable without using a mechanical lifting system. Because it is made from real wood, it will feel heavier than beds that use spring or gas-assisted mechanisms. You and your lifting partner will each be supporting one end of the platform and mattress when operating the bed.
For safe use, the bed must always be lifted and lowered by two able-bodied adults. We strongly recommend against lifting it alone. Proper posture and lifting techniques (using your legs, not your back) are important for safety. Pregnant women and children should not operate the bed.
Approximate lifting weight for both orientations about 45 lbs, plus half of the mattress weight.
To make operation easier, we recommend pairing the YouLift Bed with the YouLift Mattress. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and designed specifically to improve the lifting experience.
