Care Instructions
These care instructions must be complied with to ensure your new product is covered by this warranty.
Mattress Care
- Always use a mattress protector to avoid accidental soiling. WARRANTY VOID IF MATTRESS IS STAINED OR DIRTY IN ANY WAY.
- The slats on the base supporting the mattress must be no more than 7cm apart. We recommend a centre support rail for all slat bases for double sizes and above.
- Flexible Slats or ‘Posture Slats’ are not recommended for our mattresses and will void the warranty.
- Avoid sitting on the edge of the mattress as this could damage the frame, spring or border.
- Rotation of the mattress will extend it’s life.
- This must be done every two weeks for the first three months and monthly thereafter.
- If your new mattress is firmer or softer than the one you are replacing, it could take up to 30 days for your body to adjust.
- Air your mattress periodically.
General Care
- Do not let anyone stand or jump on your mattress. These products are not designed to take this treatment. This will void your warranty.
- Do not wash or dry-clean your mattress, unless otherwise stated on the label of the product.
- Our products are not flame proof. Do not expose to fire and do not smoke in bed.
Body Impressions
- Body impressions appear as indentations on the surface of any new mattress where foams and upholstery levels settle. Generally, body impressions are considered normal and are not a structural defect. Body impressions indicate the mattress is performing appropriately, contouring to your body shape for comfort. Rotating your mattress according to the Care Instructions will ensure the mattress has even wear.
- Whether a body impression qualifies as a product defect or not, is solely determined by the manufacturer. This is measured by removing all bedding covering the mattress and placing a straight edge (such as a broom) across the bed. The gap underneath this is then measured. You may be asked to do this.
- Generally a height loss that is considered normal is 25-35mm. The degree of the body impression will depend on the mattress comfort layers and your body shape.
