Tools You Will Need
Before you start dismantling your gas lift bed, make sure you have the following tools:

Step 1: Remove the Mattress
The first step to taking apart a gas lift bed is to remove the mattress. This will give you access to the bed frame and make it easier to work on.
Step 2: Remove the Headboard
Next, remove the headboard from the bed frame. This is usually attached with screws or bolts, which can be removed with a screwdriver or wrench.
Step 3: Remove the Footboard
Similarly, the footboard is usually attached with screws or bolts and can be removed with a screwdriver or wrench.
