What To Expect From Your New Mattress
 Body
Impressions-
Many of today's
top-quality
mattresses use
technologically
advanced foams
and fibers that
are designed to
be softer and
more comfortable
while ensuring
your body has
the support you
need for good
health. By
cradling your
body, these
materials
relieve pressure
and are so
comfortable that
you'll probably
toss and turn
less in the
night. For that
reason, in the
first few weeks
you sleep on a
new mattress
that offers
these extra
comfort layers,
you will likely
notice some body
impressions on
the mattress
surface.
These
impressions are
normal and
shouldn't be
considered a
sign that
something is
wrong with your
new mattress.
Unless your
mattress care
instructions
indicate
otherwise, you
may want to
rotate your
mattress from
end-to-end and
from
top-to-bottom.
After a few
weeks, the
impressions will
begin to smooth
out and, over
time, disappear.
 *
You may feel a
slight
discomfort with
your new
mattress for the
first week or
so, this is
normal and to be
expected, your
body is used to
the old mattress
and your new one
is now
supporting your
body.
* It may take up
to 2 weeks for
your body to
adjust to your
new mattress.
* The mattress
should conform
to you, NOT you
to it.
* Rotate your
mattress as
often as the
warranty card
reads.
* The layers of
upholstery in
old mattresses
have become
compressed and
flattened over
the years.
Upholstery
layers in a new
mattress have a
certain amount
of air in these
materials. In
addition, a
break in period
is required.
This is when new
materials begin
to settle and
conform to the
shapes and
curves of
 the
body. This takes
time. While this
adjustment is
taking place,
creases, or
"comfort
wrinkles," may
be noticeable.
This is a
natural process
and these
creases are not
defects. To help
the new sleep
system complete
this adjustment
to personal
needs, the sleep
set needs to be
maintained. This
settling of
materials can be
evened out by
rotating the
mattress on a
regular basis.
It is
recommended that
the mattress is
alternately
turned once
every two weeks
for the first
three months,
and then twice
per year after
that. The
foundation
should also be
turned every 12
months.
* The other part
of the bedding
investment is
the use of a
proper frame. A
queen or king
sized bed needs
to have a frame
with a center
support to
compensate for
any set. We also
strongly
recommend center
support for full
size sets of
bedding. The
difference in
size between a
queen and a full
is minute (only
6 inches in
width and only 5
inches in
length). While
not required by
the
manufacturer,
Beds To Go has
found that your
full size set of
bedding will
perform better
and last longer
with center
support!
* Vacuuming is
the only
recommended way
to clean a
mattress. A
quality,
washable
mattress pad
will help keep
the sleep set
free from
stains. |
