Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Starlight Beds Hybrid Mattress arrives vacuum-packed, rolled, and boxed, making it easy to transport to your desired room. To set up:
- Carefully remove the mattress from its box.
- Place the rolled mattress onto your bed frame or foundation.
- Carefully cut away the outer plastic packaging. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the mattress fabric.
- Unroll the mattress. It will begin to decompress and expand immediately.
- Remove the final layer of plastic. The mattress will continue to expand.
- Allow 24-72 hours for the mattress to fully decompress and reach its intended size and firmness. While it may appear fully expanded sooner, allowing this time ensures optimal performance.
Compatibility
This hybrid mattress is compatible with most standard bed frames and foundations, including divan bases, slatted bases (ensure slats are no more than 3 inches apart to provide adequate support), and platform beds.
Care
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Starlight Beds Hybrid Mattress:
- Rotate Regularly: To promote even wear and extend the mattress's lifespan, rotate it 180 degrees head-to-foot every 3-6 months. This mattress is designed to be single-sided, meaning it should not be flipped.
- Protect Your Mattress: Use a good quality mattress protector to guard against spills, stains, and allergens.
- Clean Spills Promptly: In case of spills, blot the area immediately with a clean cloth. Use a mild soap and water solution if necessary, and allow it to air dry completely before covering.
- Ventilate: Periodically remove bedding to allow the mattress to air out, helping to evaporate any moisture and keep it fresh.
- Support: Ensure your bed frame or foundation provides adequate, even support across the entire mattress surface to prevent sagging.
