Caring for your new bed
Proper care will keep your new bed in good condition. Always follow the
manufacturer's assembly/installation instructions & retain the manufacturers
care instruction for future reference. Otherwise the following tips will
help you get the best out of your bed during its natural life.
10 Simple steps to looking after your
bed
1. Settling to your new
bed.......
Your new bed may seem a bit strange at first - it always takes a few days to
settle into a new bed. The chances are that the springs & upholstery
in your old bed were not they used to be. Allow some time for your body to
adjust to your new bed and for the fillings to settle.
2. Minimise settle of
fillings
Body indentations in the mattress caused by body weight compressing the
fillings are a normal characteristic. This settlement of fillings can be
minimised by the regular turning of the mattress.
3. Turn mattress regularly
It is important that you turn your mattress regularly to aid even filling
settlement and to prolong the mattress life. We recommend that you turn
your mattress from side to side & end to end weekly for the first 4
months. Thereafter it should be turned every month. If you have a
non-turn mattress it can easily be rotated from head to toe, or, if you have a
Winter/Summer mattress turn your mattress from side to side and end to end
seasonally.

Get assistance while turning your mattress
We recommend that you seek assistance. Apart from the risk of injury to
youself, you also run the risk of damaging the springs should you bang, bend or
roll the mattress. this would invalidate your guarantee.
5. Do not bend or roll your
mattress
Please avaoid any unnecessary rolling or bending of your mattress as it is
likely to damage the spring unit an invalidate your guarantee.
6. Allow the mattress to
breathe
Our bodies generate over a pint of moisture during the
night. It is important to let your bed breathe to allow this moisture to
dissipate. Simply by turning down the bed clothes in the morning will
allow the bed to air.
7. Protect your mattress
We always recommend that you protect your mattress with a suitable
mattress protector/cover. This will help mto protect the surface of your
mattress from contact with moisture ans the risk of staining. Also no
mattress is guaranteed to be colourfast. A mattress protector will keep
your mattress looking pristine for years to come.
8. Fit castors without excessive
force
Please read the instructions supplied with your bed for how to fit
castors. Castors should be tapped lightly home woth a hammer. Avoid
escessive force as this can cause damage.
9. Avoid overloading the
drawers
Your bed may have drawers - these drawers have been designed to accomodate
lightweight items only. Please do not overload, as excessive weight can
cause damage to the runners and may jam the drawers.
10. Refrain from using detergents & vacuum
cleaners
We do not advise the use of detergents or chenical cleaners on your mattres
as this may bleach or disintegrate the fabric. Clean your mattress every
few months by using a soft brush to remove any dust or fluff. Never use a
vacuum cleaner as this may dislodge the upholstery fillings. Stains &
spillages should be absorbed using a dry cloth or paper towels. If you do
need to sponge your mattress do so only with a damp cloth & a very mild
solution of soap & water.
