Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Rackhams Hybrid Mattress arrives vacuum-packed, rolled, and boxed for ease of transport. To set it up:
- Transport: Carefully move the boxed mattress to your bedroom or desired location.
- Unbox: Remove the mattress from its outer box and place the rolled mattress on your bed frame.
- Unroll: Carefully cut open the plastic packaging, making sure not to cut the mattress fabric. The mattress will begin to unroll.
- Expand: Allow the mattress to decompress and expand for at least 4-6 hours, though full expansion can take up to 48-72 hours. During this time, it's common to notice a slight 'new mattress' odor, which will dissipate as it airs out. Opening windows in the room can help.
Compatibility
This 4ft6 Double mattress (135cm x 190cm) is compatible with most standard double bed frames, including divans, slatted bases, and platform frames. For slatted bases, ensure the slats are no more than 7cm apart to provide adequate support and prevent sagging.
Care
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your mattress:
- Rotation: Rotate your mattress head-to-toe every 3-6 months. This helps to distribute wear evenly and maintain its shape. This mattress is generally not designed for flipping.
- Cleaning: Spot clean any spills immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the mattress. Allow it to air dry completely before replacing bedding.
- Protection: Use a mattress protector to shield against spills, dust mites, and general wear.
- Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation around your mattress, especially if placed on a solid platform base. Occasionally remove bedding to allow the mattress to breathe.
