How to set up your Twin Yona headboard
Our Twin headboard is really easy to set up - there are no tools required! Also, in case you were wondering, we recommend setting up the headboard before the bed - it should make the process easier. Ready? Let's go!
What's in the box?
- 5 x sleeves
- 5 x toppers
- 5 x bottom caps
Step 1
The long sleeves will arrive flat packed, and will need to be made into a rectangular box. Grab one of them and fold it up to align the tabs and slots along the back of the sleeve.
Starting from the largest, insert the three tabs into their slots.
Step 2
On one end of the sleeve, you’ll see 3 flaps. Fold the side flaps in, and then the center flap.
Step 3
Now grab one topper (the flat rectangle- with extra bits and a funny cut-out). Secure the cap by inserting its tab into the slot found on the other end of the flap.
On the end of the sleeve where you just folded flaps, slide the topper in with its smooth side facing up. You’ll want the side of the cap with a little tab to be facing the same side of the sleeve that has folds.
Step 4
Flip the sleeve upside down. And if needed, rotate the sleeve so that the side with folds is facing you.
Grab one bottom cap. This looks a lot like the topper, but is open on one side and doesn't have a tab to secure it.
Hold the bottom cap with both hands so that its walls are folded, with the open side facing up. Slide the bottom cap into the sleeve. You'll want to position the bottom cap where its side with a square cut-out is facing you and aligns with the side of the sleeve that has folds.
Do this for all the sleeves you have before proceeding to the next step.
Step 5
On one side of the sleeve, you will see 3 tabs, with thumbholes waiting to be 'punched out'.
The hooks are different sizes, so keep the largest hook at the bottom (this will make the next steps easier).
Then use the thumbhole, and gently pull out each tab.
On the opposite side of the sleeve, punch out the other 3 rectangular holes.
Note: All the sleeves will have the same number of holes and tabs. But you should only punch out the holes and tabs that are located on the inner sides (those that connect to another sleeve) for the two sleeves that go on each end of your headboard so that the outer sides look clean.
Step 6
Now we are going to connect your two sleeves.
Line up the 3 tabs you just pulled out with the corresponding holes in your second sleeve.
Starting with the biggest tab at the bottom, gently hook the tabs into the holes. They should slot in, and then the sleeves will sit flush next to one another.
Step 7
On the other side of the sleeves, there is now a similar process to above. There are two tabs with thumbholes to be 'punched out.
At the back of the sleeves, there is now a similar process to above. There are two tabs with thumbholes to be 'punched out.
Starting with the bigger tab at the top, slot each tab into its corresponding hole.
Step 8
Keep on going! Just repeat the above steps until you have completed your headboard.
Again, just be careful with the two sleeves at the ends of the headboard. You may not want to punch out the thumbholes on the outside ends, as those sleeves don't connect to anything - you might prefer the tabs to be less visible as the end of those pieces can be seen.
Step 9 (If you're also setting up a Yona Bed)
Once your headboard is all set up, you can set up your Yona bed by following these instructions, and push the bed right up against the headboard.
They don’t attach in any way - but don’t worry, they won’t move.
