The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Mattress

The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Mattress

Introduction
A mattress is more than just a place to sleep; it's an investment in your comfort and well-being. Proper care can extend its lifespan, ensuring you get the most out of your purchase. This guide will provide you with essential tips on how to care for your mattress, based on Furniture Spot's product care and warranty policy.

Understanding Your Mattress
Body impressions or indentations are a natural part of your mattress's aging process. They show that the upholstery layers are adjusting to your body's unique contours. This is a sign that your mattress is doing its job, providing you with personalized comfort.

Do's and Don'ts of Mattress Care
Do's

  • Rotate Regularly: To ensure even wear, turn your mattress every 2 months.
  • Use Protection: It's crucial to understand that any soil or stain on your mattress can void the warranty. We strongly recommend using a waterproof mattress protector to prevent any stains and ensure the longevity of your warranty.
  • Update Your Foundation: When buying a new mattress, consider replacing the old foundation. An outdated one might not offer the support your mattress needs.
  • Choose the Right Frame: Ensure your bed frame has center support to distribute weight evenly.
  • Understand Body Impressions: These are normal and show that the mattress's comfort layers are adjusting to your body.

Don'ts

  • Avoid Boards: Never place a board between your mattress and foundation.
  • No Bending: Bending the mattress can damage its innerspring.
  • Stay Away from Dry Cleaning Fluids: These chemicals can harm the mattress's construction materials.

Before Making a Purchase

  • Measure your doorways and stairways to ensure the new sleep set will fit.
  • Check the height compatibility with your headboard, nightstand, and other bedroom furniture.
  • Determine if a low-profile frame or foundation is necessary.
  • Always buy a mattress protector to safeguard your new investment.

Warranty Insights
Your Furniture Spot Mattress comes with up to a 20-year Limited Warranty. This warranty covers specific items during normal wear, such as visible body impressions greater than 1.5 inches, not linked to improper foundation use, and coils or wires that protrude or rip through the fabric.

However, the warranty does not cover:

  • Body impressions less than 1.5 inches.
  • Normal softening of the foam/top.
  • Bent border wires due to mishandling.
  • Stains, burns, tears, or any damage resulting from misuse.

For a successful warranty claim, always keep the original bill of sale and provide valid ID. Staining or soiling will void the warranty, and it's essential to use a proper foundation and support system.

Conclusion
Your mattress is a significant investment in your comfort and health. By following Furniture Spot's care guidelines and understanding the warranty, you can ensure that your mattress remains in top condition for years to come. Remember, a well-cared-for mattress not only provides a comfortable sleep but also ensures you get the most value out of your purchase.
