HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR DREAMLAND MATTRESS?

POSITION YOUR MATTRESS ON AN APPROPRIATE BASE.

Slat base: Timber slats should be no more than 70mm apart. On a double, queen or king size bed, slats should have a minimum thickness of 35mm or be supported by a centre rail.

Padded box base: Box bases can be sprung or unsprung and should have at least seven legs or castors. They usually have a metal frame and sometimes have storage drawers.

Platform bed: This type of base has a solid wooden base with no springs or slats. It should have ventilation holes in the base.

USE A MATTRESS PROTECTOR AND AIR YOUR BED REGULARLY

To help keep your mattress clean and dry, we recommend using a quality mattress protector. We recommend you regularly air the mattress with bedding removed and avoiding direct sunlight. You can also lightly vacuum your mattress from time to time.

SPOT CLEAN WITH A DAMP CLOTH

If your mattress becomes stained or marked, you can clean it with a damp cloth. Allow the mattress to dry before remaking the bed. Don’t use cleaning fluids, because they could damage the mattress materials.

KEEP THE LABELS INTACT

For warranty purposes, please don’t remove any of the mattress labels.

DON’T LIFT AND CARRY BY THE HANDLES

The mattress handles are designed to help you position the mattress on the base. Please don’t use them to lift or carry your mattress.

HOW TO ROTATE YOUR DREAMLAND MATTRESS

You have a single-sided mattress. It can be rotated but not turned. For the first three months we recommend you rotate your mattress every two weeks. After that, rotate once a month.

1. Rotate the mattress to the left by pushing at opposite corners (A and B)

2. Keep turning until A is at the foot end of the bed and B is at the head end

3. Use the handles to adjust the mattress on the base. Rotation complete!

MORE ABOUT BODY IMPRESSIONS ON COMFORT LAYERS

Dreamland mattresses have combinations of foam and cushioning layers to enhance the sleeping surface and reduce pressure points on your body. As these materials settle and compact with use, they conform to your body shape. This is a normal part of wearing the mattress in. Visually, body impressions in a pillowtop mattress top are up to 35mm deep. In a non- pillowtop mattress, body impressions are up to 25mm deep. For queen and king mattresses, a soft ridge may form down the centre of the mattress, because this area is less- slept on.

Tips for minimising body impressions:

• If there are two people sleeping in your bed, you can minimise the central ridge by using this area whenever you can, i.e. when taking an afternoon nap, watching TV in bed.

• To minimise the look of body impressions, we recommend you rotate your mattress every two weeks for the first four months, then every three months thereafter.
