APPLICATION MODEL · Red highlights the gas spring position. Mounting layout varies by mechanism.
WHERE IT WORKS

Between the fixed bed base and the moving lift mechanism or mattress frame.

Assists lifting the mattress platform to access storage. The hinge mechanism controls its path; the gas spring works within that mechanism.

Threaded eyelet end fittings for gas spring pivot mounting
Connection detail: threaded eyelet end fittings. Match the pivot bore, thread, width and mounting-centre reference.

End-opening ottoman beds

The mattress platform opens from the foot of the bed.

Side-opening storage beds

A side lift changes the pivot, lever arm and mounting arrangement.

Replacement pairs

Identify the fitted spring on each side and any left/right mechanism differences before ordering.
