Mattress Buy & Care Tips
Purchase Tips:
-
All mattresses become softer over time. This process is unavoidable & cannot be stopped. So it is recommended to choose the firmest mattress you can stand. This way, you would like your mattress for a longer period of time.
-
Avoid buying a mattress on extremely cold/warm days.
-
Do not buy a mattress alone if there are two people sleeping on the mattress. Come with your partner and make a decision together.
-
Never buy a mattress when you are in a rush. Most customers spend around 45-90 minutes when visiting our showroom.
-
Make sure you are not getting distracted when trying and choose a mattress. The top distractions include: Uncooperative children, unsettled babies, unsettled dogs, pets left alone in the car or at the door, and car parking issues.
-
It is highly recommended not to buy a mattress for your teenager without their presence. They are more likely not to like your choice. Bring them along and get them involved in the mattress-choosing process.
-
Each material used in this industry (Polyurethane/Gel/Memory Foam and latex) has advantages and disadvantages. Do a little bit of research to get to know them in advance,
-
Do not be fooled by the appearance of mattresses or their fancy names. They are purposely there to distract you from what you need to be focusing on “MATERIAL INSIDE”.
-
No mattress is worth more than $2400 (queen size). Yes, that's correct! A maximum of $2400 – and it is when the very best possible materials are used.
-
Do not expect your brand-new mattress to feel like your old one. Let your body adjust to the new mattress which could take a few weeks.
The Do's:
​​​
-
During the first 6 months spin your mattress every 4 weeks. After that do it twice a year.
-
It is crucial to use the entire surface of mattresses evenly. If it is not done, the middle section may look and feel different. It is for sure no sign of a faulty mattress but mattress not being used properly. This is more likely to happen when the mattress:
has a pocket spring unit
is soft
is larger than a double size
is topped with a softish material like wool
-
Make sure your mattress is fully supported by a solid flat foundation.
-
Use a proper mattress protector at all time.
-
Strip your bed whenever you go on vacation to air it out.
​
The Don'ts:
​
-
Don't let children jump on the bed.
-
Never use box springs bases.
-
Never try to remove a stain only for aesthetic reasons; it is likely to get worse.
-
Don't use dry-cleaning fluid of any type to clean your mattress.
-
Don't allow your mattress to get wet.
YOUR MATTRESS IS NOT FIREPROOF
Please avoid placing your mattress near open flames or expose it to fire. Your mattress is not flameproof or fireproof and can singe or burn if exposed to open flame or heat. When ignited, some bedding materials can burn rapidly and emit smoke and hazardous gases.
In order to reduce the risk of fire:
-
DON’T smoke in bed. This is a common cause of fatal fires.
-
DO keep matches and lighters away from children.
-
DON’T use candles on or around your bed.
-
DO keep heaters away from your bed or other flammable items. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions and heed warnings.
-
DON’T run electrical cords under your bed or trap them against a wall. Avoid placing lamps where they can fall on the bed.
