Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your DS Living Pureflex Orthopaedic Memory Foam Mattress arrives highly compressed, folded, and vacuum-packed using advanced roller press technology. This compact packaging makes transportation and maneuvering into your bedroom much easier. To set up your mattress:
- Unpack Carefully: Remove the mattress from its outer packaging. Place the rolled mattress on your bed frame or a flat, clean surface.
- Unroll and Unfold: Carefully cut open the vacuum-sealed plastic wrap. The mattress will begin to unroll and unfold.
- Allow to Expand: Once unwrapped, the mattress will start to regain its full shape. This process can take up to 72 hours for complete expansion. While it can be slept on after a few hours, allowing the full expansion time ensures optimal performance and comfort.
- Ventilation: An initial "new foam" smell may be present. This is normal and harmless. Air out the room for a few hours with open windows to help it dissipate faster.
Compatibility
This mattress is designed to be compatible with most standard bed frames, including slatted bases, platform beds, and divans. Ensure your bed frame provides a stable and even surface for optimal mattress performance and longevity.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your mattress:
- Mattress Cover: The premium, soft-knit zip cover is machine-washable. Remove the cover and wash it according to the care label instructions. (Info needed: specific washing temperature and drying instructions for cover).
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills on the mattress core (when the cover is removed), gently spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before replacing the cover or using the mattress.
- Rotation: To promote even wear and extend its lifespan, periodically rotate the mattress 180 degrees (head to foot). This is typically recommended every 3-6 months.
- Protection: Using a mattress protector can help safeguard against spills, stains, and general wear and tear, further enhancing hygiene and durability.
- Avoid Soaking: Do not soak the mattress core in water, as this can damage the foam and void any warranty.
- No Flipping: This mattress is designed with specific comfort layers on top and does not require flipping. Only rotation is necessary.
