Caring for your bed

Just like all our furniture, our beds are designed to withstand general wear and tear. However, we recommend that you follow this advice to keep your bed in top condition for as long as possible to ensure maximum sleep quality throughout the natural life of your bed.

Beds

  • Never fold or bend the mattress, as this will distort the spring unit.
  • Modern spring interior mattresses can-not be rolled for storage.
  • Sitting on the edge of your mattress for a long periods can effect 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 bed linen, 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.

As you are about to spend a third of your time in your new bed, it makes sense to take good care of it.
Look after your bed and it will look after you!

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 manufactures cleaning and care label instructions.
