Mattress Care

The Do's and Don'ts of Mattress Care

Do:

• Do carry your mattress flat on its side. It's easier to handle and you'll be less likely to damage the mattress.
• Do keep your bedding clean. We always suggest using a mattress pad.
• Do replace the old box spring when purchasing a new mattress. An old box spring may not provide sufficient support. It may appear that your new mattress is sagging when it is actually the box spring.
• Do use an appropriate frame and center support for queen and king size sets.
• Do rotate your mattress routinely to prolong the comfort and support life. Body indentations are a normal occurrence in your new mattress and indicate that the upholstery layers are conforming to your body's individual contours.

Don't:

• Don't remove the law tag label at the end of your mattress. This serves as a means of identification to establish your warranty rights.
• Don't use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress. These chemicals will damage some of the construction materials.
• Don't allow your mattress to get wet. Some of the upholstery materials may compress. Protect it from water or other liquids.
• Don't jump on your mattress. It wasn't built for that type of weight distribution or abuse.
• Don't place a board between your mattress and box spring. Your sleep set is designed as an integrated system to provide proper support and the box spring plays an important role.
• Don't bend your new mattress more than 20 degrees. Such treatment may damage the innerspring unit. Flex rather than bend the mattress when going through doorways.
