Understanding Your New Mattress

There are a few things every consumer should be aware of when buying a mattress:

BODY DEPRESSIONS ON THE SURFACE:

New bedding often retains body impressions when it is first used.  This is particularly true of today's plusher, soft-surface bedding.  It is merely settling of the cushioning material and not an indication of structural failure.  To minimize body depressions, turn your mattress regularly.

BEDDING MUST HAVE PROPER SUPPORT:

Sagging of bedding is usually caused by either:

bulletPutting a new mattress on an old box spring.  Bedding should always be bought in sets because the mattress and box spring are designed to work together for comfort and long life.

OR

bulletAn inadequate bed frame.  Any adult bed should have a heavy duty frame with proper center support for King and Queen sizes.  Not having a center support on a Queen or King size may void the warranty.  Investing in a quality bed frame makes sense if it prevents damage to your new bedding.

DO...

bullet

Vacuum your bedding regularly and otherwise keep it clean.

bullet

Use the proper size mattress pad.

bullet

Turn your bedding regularly to keep the cushioning soft and resilient.

bullet

Enjoy your new bedding.  The average person spends 1/3 of their life in bed.  Investing in quality bedding and proper care is well worth the rewards.

DON'T...

bullet

Don't bend the mattress to get through a doorway.  Never bend the mattress.

bullet

Don't allow children to jump on the mattress or box spring.

bullet

Don't let the bedding get wet.  Towel-dry spills immediately.

bullet

Don't bend the corners of your mattress to put on fitted sheets.  Instead, lift the mattress.

 

ALWAYS
REMEMBER:

Putting new bedding on an inadequate foundation can damage the bedding and reduce its useful life.
