Getting used to your mattress
Chances are that the springs and upholstery in your old bed were not what what they used to be, so your new bed may seem a little strange at first. Please allow time for your body to adjust to your new bed and for the fillings to settle.
Filling settlement is normal
Due to modern day fillings being more sumptuous than their predecessors, settlement may be more pronounced in the areas under the most body weight. This is quite normal and, providing that the mattress is properly supported, can be minimised by regular turning.
Do not bend or roll your mattress
Bending or rolling your mattress will damage the spring unit and invalidate the guarantee.
Let your mattress breathe
After it's removal from the packaging, please leave your bed uncovered for a few hours to allow any condensation to escape. Please ensure that the polythene bag is well out of the reach of small children.
Odour coming from new mattress
Bedding will have a new upholstery smell when it is opened out of the plastic wrap. The smell should diminish in two to three weeks. Increased air flow, such as opening a window in the room, will help to alleviate the odour.
Turn your mattress regularly
Unless you have bought a "no need to turn" mattress which has a single sleeping surface, e.g. Memory Foam, Latex, Pillow Top and Anti-slip mattresses, it is important that you turn your mattress once a week for the first two or three months and then monthly thereafter. This will prolong the lifespan of your mattress. When turning your mattress please do not allow it to bang or fall against the side of the divan, as this may damage the spring system. Some assistance may be required.
Bedstead products
Do not use abrasive cleaning liquid
We advise against the use of abrasive cleaning liquids, as they could adversely affect the lacquered surfaces.
Securing your bedstead
It is recommended that the bedstead should be periodically checked to ensure that all the fittings are secure. Do not overtighten the fittings.
Do not overload or over-fill drawers
If your bedstead has drawers they have been designed to take light weight items only. Excessive weight can cause distortion or damage to the drawers. Over-filling them may cause them to jam. Maximum weight: mini drawers - 7kg, standard drawers - 15kg.
All the mattresses meets the requirements of BS7177 the Furniture and Fire Safety Regulations 1996.
