Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your DS Living Pureflex Orthopaedic Memory Foam Mattress arrives compressed, rolled, and vacuum-packed for ease of delivery. Follow these steps to set it up:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the mattress from its outer box and plastic packaging. Avoid using sharp objects that could cut the mattress material.
- Unroll: Place the rolled mattress onto your bed frame or chosen flat surface. Carefully unroll it.
- Expand: The mattress will begin to expand immediately. Allow at least 4-8 hours for it to fully decompress and regain its intended shape and firmness. In some cases, especially in cooler environments, full expansion may take up to 24-48 hours. During this time, you may notice a slight new-product smell, which is normal and will dissipate.
Compatibility
This mattress is compatible with most standard bed bases, including:
- Solid Platform Bases: Provides excellent, even support.
- Slatted Bases: Ensure slats are no more than 3 inches (approx. 7.5 cm) apart to provide adequate support and prevent sagging.
- Adjustable Bases: Memory foam mattresses are generally flexible enough for use on adjustable bed frames.
Care & Maintenance
- Mattress Cover: The premium soft-knit zip cover is machine washable. Remove it carefully and wash according to the label instructions, typically on a gentle cycle with cold water. Allow it to air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills on the mattress itself (not the cover), gently blot the area with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not saturate the foam. Allow to air dry completely before replacing the cover.
- Rotation: While memory foam mattresses don't typically require flipping, rotating the mattress 180 degrees every 3-6 months can help promote even wear and extend its lifespan.
- Protection: Consider using a mattress protector to shield against spills, stains, and general wear and tear, further extending the life of your mattress.
