Read on for tips on how to keep your Sealy bouncing back in perfect shape night after night for years to come.
The Do’s for your relationship with your new Sealy
- Let the mattress breathe and air when removing it from its plastic packaging.
- Use a washable mattress protector to prolong the life of your mattress.
- Register your warranty on the Sealy website.
- Follow the rotation cycle to extend the comfort and support life of your new Sealy set. You will find instructions and diagrams on your warranty card, but you can also click here to read information on the Sealy website: New Mattress rotational cycle
- Remember that body shaped impressions are normal as your body adjusts to your new mattress and the comfort layers settle.
- Be patient. It can take up to 60 days for your new mattress to feel like home.
- Sleep on it consistently. This will help with the ‘breaking-in process’. You need time to get used to each other!
- Give your mattress a firm and sturdy foundation. Putting your high-end Sealy on and old, rickety base negates the positives of your new mattress and might even damage it.
The Don’ts for your relationship with your new Sealy
- Don’t bend or roll your mattress. This will permanently damage the spring unit and invalidate any warranty claims.
- Don’t wet your mattress as this could affect the upholstery layers, causing them to compress and become damaged.
- Mattresses are heavy, so don’t attempt to move the mattress by yourself, especially if it’s a bigger size.
- If fitted with handles, these should only be used to position the mattress. They might pull out if used to support the full mass of the mattress.
- Don’t flip your mattress! Sealy mattresses are no-flip mattresses.
- Don’t stand or jump on your new Sealy. That’s mattress abuse! Mattresses are not built for that kind of weight concentration.
- Don’t remove the label on your mattress, because that will void your warranty. The label helps with identification.
