How to Care for Your Super King Size Mattress
Proper care helps maintain comfort, hygiene, and long-term support.
- Initial Setup: Once delivered, carefully unwrap your rolled mattress. Allow it to sit in a well-ventilated room for 4–24 hours to expand fully to its 6ft dimensions.
- Rotation Schedule: To ensure even wear and longevity, rotate your mattress 180 degrees every two weeks for the first three months, then once every three months thereafter.
- Cleaning Instructions: Use a soft damp cloth for spot cleaning spills. Avoid using harsh chemicals or saturating the fabric, as this can damage the internal foam layers.
- Airing Out: Regularly strip the bedding and allow the mattress to air for a few hours. This helps dissipate moisture and keeps the sleep surface fresh.
- Warranty Maintenance: Ensure your mattress is used on a supportive, compatible bed frame. Using an unsuitable base may void your 5-year warranty.
