Mattress Care Instructions

The synergy of air and fiber gives your sleep system its rejuvenating properties which can be easily maintained. These mattresses have been designed with your utmost comfort in mind. The State-of-the-art mattress is thicker and incorporates more upholstery materials than ever before. As a result, you may notice body impressions during normal use. These are common occurrences as the mattress is adjusting to the contours of your body and not a product defect. Turning your mattress will evenly distribute these impressions while maintaining maximum comfort. Body impressions in the mattress may appear as a "sag" but there is a difference: Body impressions will be normal in a quality mattresses. As the manufacture's warranty reassures: The resilient materials used in these mattresses are designed to conform to your body's individual contours. This is not a structural defect.

Preparing Your Mattress

All new materials outgas odors. The odors that our all natural mattresses release are all natural. You may prefer to air out your mattress before using it. Simply place your mattress and box spring in a clean dry environment where direct sun rays can hit it. Having a fan blow on it can speed up the process. Nature will take care of the rest.

Maintaining the Natural Advantage

	Vacuum and air your mattress regularly to help its natural fibers breathe.
	Protect the integrity of your bedding by always using a mattress pad.
	Encourage even wear by turning your mattress regularly.
	Never fold or bend your mattress. Don't stand on it or allow children to jump on it. Avoid bending the corners when putting on fitted sheets.

Turning Your Mattress Over

Your mattress should be turned over on a regular basis. Every two weeks for the first two months, alternate turning your mattress end to end and flipping it. After the first two months, turn it every 4-6 months. To safeguard damage, always have at least two people to flip the mattress. Use the handles only to guide the mattress into place after flipping. They cannot support the mattress' weight and will detach if you try to lift the mattress with them.

Refreshing The Appearance / Cleaning Instructions

	An easy, natural way to revive the beauty of your mattress is to spot clean it with a solution of 1:3 parts white distilled vinegar and water. Spray the solution on the white spot, then expose it to direct sunlight until the stain fades and any scent of the vinegar disappears. Make sure the mattress is entirely dry before returning it to use.
	If you prefer to use a non-toxic spot cleaner, follow the manufacture's directions and make sure the cleaner dries completely before you use your mattress.

Care for your natural mattress will keep its promise to you, bringing you many years of luxurious, healthful rest for your body and spirit.
