How To Look After Your Mattress
After settling your new mattress onto your bed, please leave it in a well- ventilated room for a few hours. Any natural scent from the fillings will dissipate after a few days. During transportation, some mattresses may contract, but they will relax to their standard length again after being used for a short while.
We suggest that you turn and rotate your mattress once a week.
This is only for the first 12 weeks to allow the initial ‘bedding and settling
in’ process.
AFTER THE FIRST 12 WEEKS
Do not fold or roll your mattress, as this could damage it. We highly recommend using an under blanket or mattress protector and it’s a good idea to air the mattress regularly by leaving duvets folded back for a few hours each day.
Remove dust from your mattress every few months using a soft brush. Never use a vacuum cleaner as this can displace the natural fillings. Any spillages should be absorbed using a dry cloth or paper towels.
As our mattress is tunable, we recommend turning and rotating your mattress twice a year with the seasons. An excellent way to remember to turn your bed is when the clocks change, in preparation for winter and summer.
How To Look After Your Topper
Regular care is important to ensure your Mattress Topper’s comfort and
lifespan. So, here we provide advice and good practice to help keep it clean
and fresh.
Use a mattress protector on top of your Mattress Topper. It’s easier to clean
a mattress protector than a topper and it will keep your Mattress Topper and
your bed clean and fresh.
Mattress protectors are designed to protect, and when you consider the
unexpected little things that may happen in the night (or while having
breakfast in bed), adding a mattress protector will bring peace of mind and
ensure you can completely relax in the knowledge you are safeguarding the
lifespan of your topper. You can choose a protector that sits on top or one
that surrounds your topper and mattress together.
Our Mattress Topper is dry clean only.
It cannot be machine washed due to the metal springs inside and the size,
making it too large for home machines and many industrial machines too.
How to Manage Spills & Stains
First and most importantly, any form of “wringing out” is to be avoided as it
can break down the fibres of the wool. Instead, gentle pressing or blotting is
recommended to remove liquids. Start by soaking up as much liquid as possible
with towels or paper towels.
To clean a stain we recommend starting with a simple household solution – half
detergent (gentle) and half water – you can make it yourself and put it into a
spray bottle. Mix well and spray on the stain. Gently blot (do not rub) and
soak up with a towel. Repeat the process until the stain disappears.
If that doesn’t work and the stain persists, we recommend trying a more robust
mixture – two parts baking soda with one part water – that you can stir
together in a bowl and then dab gently onto the stain. Let the solution sit on
the mark for an hour before soaking it up.
How to Remove Odours
Many odours do not settle in and simply need some time to breathe and air out.
We suggest removing all bedding and hanging the topper in a clean area with
fresh air to circulate. If you are able to, put the topper in direct sunlight.
Tough odours tend to respond well to bicarbonate of soda.
Remove all bedding, and lay your topper flat in a well-ventilated area.
Sprinkle bicarbonate of soda in a thin layer and leave it to sit for 24 hours,
before simply brushing off with a soft brush.
Both of these approaches will help remove strong odours, but keeping the
bedroom ventilated with fresh air will help prevent odours from settling in.
