The Do's and Don'ts of Mattress Care (provided by Sealy)
- Do keep your bedding clean. We recommend using a mattress pad.
- Do replace the old foundation when purchasing a new mattress. An old foundation may not provide sufficient support. It may appear that your new mattress is sagging when it is actually the foundation, which supports the mattress, that has become worn.
- Do turn your mattress occasionally to prolong the comfort and support life. Body indentations are a normal occurrence in your new mattress and indicate that the upholstery layers are conforming to your body’s individual contours. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with that “new mattress feeling” every time you turn your mattress.
- Do check into the newly designed no-flip mattress, which does not need to be flipped and still offers years of comfortable rest.
- Don’t smoke in bed. This mattress is manufactured as required by federal law to resist, but not necessarily eliminate, ignition by smoldering cigarettes.
- Don’t let anyone stand or jump on your mattress. It wasn’t built for that type of weight distribution or abuse.
- Don’t allow your mattress to get wet. Some of the upholstery materials may compress. Protect it from water or other liquids.
- Don’t place a board between your mattress and foundation. Your sleep set is designed as an integrated system to provide you with proper support, and the foundation plays an important role.
- Don’t bend your new mattress more than 20 degrees. Such treatment may damage the innerspring unit. Flex rather than bend the mattress when going through doorways.
- Don’t remove the law tag label at the end of your mattress. This serves as a means of identification to establish your warranty rights
- Don’t use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress. These chemicals will damage some of the construction materials.
