Care tips for your Bed

Care Tips For Beds

Bed Care

• Never fold or bend the mattress, as this will distort the spring unit.
• Modern spring interior mattresses cannot be rolled for storage.
• Sitting on the edge of your mattress for long periods can affect its shape.
• Lively children may use your new bed as a trampoline. This is not recommended if you want to prolong the lifespan of your bed.
• Use mattress handles, if provided, and do not overload divan bed drawers.
• Check that the legs and castors are tightened fully from time to time.

Regular, Easy Care Maintenance

• Turn down the bed clothes every morning to allow the bed to cool down and breathe.
• Turn your mattress over twice a month for the first six months, and once a month thereafter. This will help to equalise wear and plump up the fillings.
• Please note that some mattresses i.e. latex may not require turning.
• Take care when turning mattresses; do it with someone else especially when they are particularly heavy. Frequent turning and plumping reduces natural dips and 'nesting' in spring interior mattresses.
• The drawers within a drawer divan are usually designed to hold lightweight items, such as bedlinen, and should not be overloaded.
• Where fitted, headboard bolts and legs may need to be tightened at regular intervals in order to prevent causing damage.

Stop Spills Becoming Stains

• Ensure that a spillage is simply mopped up quickly with a clean, dry cloth.
• Always use a good quality mattress protector that can be cleaned.

Cleaning

• Never wet clean your mattress.
• Regularly clean your bed with a soft brush or lightly vacuum using an upholstery attachment.
• If your mattress does become wetted, stand it on its side to minimise the penetration of moisture and allow it to air away from direct heat.
• Always follow your manufacturer's cleaning and care label instructions.
