SETTING UP AND CARING FOR YOUR NEW MATTRESS
|
SETTING UP YOUR MATTRESS
Remove any existing mattress out of the way and place the bag containing the new mattress on top of a continuously solid surface, such as an adjustable base or a flat foundation, before opening. Do not use sharp objects or box cutters to open the plastic, doing so may cause the mattress to be cut or sliced.
After all packaging has been carefully removed, it is safe to sleep on the mattress right away.
If your new mattress is compressed and rolled, the mattress may have slight indentations and may take up to 72 hours for the mattress to fully expand and return to its original shape. Body heat and sleeping on the mattress will help the mattress expand faster.
MATTRESS PACKAGING AND THE NEW MANUFACTURED SMELL
We compress and roll our mattresses for ease of transport. This process consists of compressing the mattresses to approximately 2-4 inches and then rolling. Because the mattresses are newly made, the new foam smell is captured within the bag and does not have a way to ventilate until after the mattress has been opened. If you are sensitive to this smell, make sure the room is well ventilated and do not add sheets or blankets; the smell will dissipate within 24 hours.
NEW TO SLEEPING ON A MEMORY FOAM, LATEX, OR COIL MATTRESS
If you are new to sleeping on memory foam, latex and/or coil materials, you will need to allow yourself an adjustment period of 60-90 days. Memory foam contours to your body and responds to your body heat. When your body temperature and/or room is warm, the memory foam becomes softer and when your room is cold, memory foam becomes firmer. This offers a very different sleeping surface than a traditional spring mattress. Please allow yourself the appropriate amount of time to adjust. You will reap the rewards of a good night’s sleep by making this transition.
