Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the mattress from its box and plastic packaging. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the mattress.
- Unroll: Place the rolled mattress on your bed frame.
- Expand: Unroll the mattress and allow it to fully expand. This process can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours for the mattress to reach its full size and optimal firmness. While it can be slept on sooner, optimal performance is achieved after complete expansion.
- Ventilate: An initial, harmless new product odor (often called 'off-gassing') is common with new memory foam products. Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for a few hours or days. The smell should dissipate.

Care
- Cover Care: The premium soft knit zip cover is removable and machine washable. Always follow the washing instructions on the label (typically a low temperature wash with mild detergent and air dry). Do not tumble dry.
- Mattress Protection: Using a high-quality mattress protector can help extend the life of your mattress by shielding it from spills, stains, and general wear.
- Rotation: While memory foam mattresses typically do not require flipping, rotating your mattress head-to-toe every 3-6 months can help promote even wear and prolong its lifespan.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills directly on the foam (not the cover), dab gently with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Avoid saturating the foam. Ensure the mattress is completely dry before replacing the cover and making the bed.
