Consider your new mattress and foundation as ‘sleep equipment’ that needs to be cared for in order to assure the best hygiene and performance. It’s important to follow mattress care instructions from the Mattress King as products vary greatly. However, in general, it’s important to know about the following:
Proper Installation
Make sure your new mattress and foundation are properly installed in your home. Improper installation can damage your new sleep set, If you choose to transport and install on your own, ask the Mattress King personnel to give you some tips to help you avoid problems.
Use a Mattress Protector
A good quality, washable mattress protector (and one for the foundation, too, if you like) is a must to keep your set fresh and free from stains.
Let It Breathe
If you detect a slight ‘new product’ odour, leave the mattress and foundation uncovered and well ventilated for a few hours. A breath of fresh air should do the trick!
Don’t Dry Clean
The chemicals in dry cleaning agents/spot removers may be harmful to the fabric or underlying materials. Vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method. If you’re determined to tackle a stain, use mild soap with cold water and apply lightly. Do not ever soak a mattress or foundation.
Don’t Remove The Tag
Contrary to popular belief it is not illegal to remove the law tag, but the information on the label will serve as a means of identification should you have a warranty claim at The Mattress King.
It’s Not A Trampoline
Don’t let the kids jump on your sleep set. Their rough-housing could do damage to the interior construction as well as to themselves!
No Boards
Never put a board between the mattress and foundation. It may enhance the sense of support for a while but it will only make the problem worse over time. When any bed in your home has reached the “board stage”, get rid of it and give The Mattress King A Call
Out With The Old
Now that you’ve treated yourself to a new sleep set, arrange to get rid of your old bed. Don’t give it to the kids, relatives, guests or neighbours. If it wasn’t good enough for you then it isn’t good enough for anyone. Throw it out!
