Mattress Care

Mattress Care Quick Tips

• Washing your sheets and bedding is important for hygienic reasons, and it may also help protect your mattress from premature damage.
• VACUUM the bed at least twice a year.
• CLIP (don't pull) any loose threads.

Don't Bend the Mattress or Jump on the Bed Unless Instructed To

• Never fold or bend your mattress.
• Don't stand on it or allow children to jump on it.
• Avoid bending corners when putting on fitted sheets.
• Avoid sitting on the sides of your mattress other than to get in or out of the bed.

Do Use a Mattress Protector

• Keep your mattress clean and dry.
• Stains, soil, or dirt of any kind void your warranty.

Don't Lift with the Handles

• If your mattress has handles, don't try to lift the mattress using them.
• Handles are to position the mattress once it is on the foundation.
• If they tear or pull out, the pull handles are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Do Get Proper Mattress Support

• Support of the mattress is very important.
• Failure to use a proper foundation or boxsping may lead to unsatisfactory performance and damage to the mattress which may void your warranty.
• Full, Queen and King size units require a metal bed frame or bed base that has a rigid center support as well as support for the head, foot and sides. You can also have an adjustable foundation for your mattress support.
• The proper center support must have two extended center legs from the base of the unit to the floor.
• Any Full, Queen or King frame that does not have a metal center support must use at least 5 hardwood (i.e., oak or ash) slats (1x4's) with center supports extending to the floor.
• If your current frame does not meet these specifications, please call your salesperson.
