Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup and care will ensure your Starlight Beds mattress provides lasting comfort.
Setup Instructions:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the mattress from its box. Avoid using sharp objects directly on the mattress packaging to prevent accidental damage.
- Unroll: Place the rolled mattress onto your chosen bed base. Carefully cut and remove the outer plastic wrapping.
- Allow to Expand: The mattress will begin to unroll and expand immediately. Remove the final layer of plastic. Allow at least 24-48 hours for the mattress to fully regain its shape and reach its stated 18cm depth. Optimal expansion occurs in a well-ventilated room at room temperature.
- Ventilation: You may notice a slight 'new mattress' odor upon unboxing. This is normal and harmless. Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for a few hours or days.
Compatibility:
This mattress is compatible with most standard bed bases, including:
- Divan Bases: Provides a solid, even surface.
- Slatted Bases: Ensure slats are no more than 2-3 inches apart to provide adequate support and prevent sagging.
- Platform Beds: A flat, solid surface is ideal.
It is not recommended for use on adjustable bases due to the open coil spring system.
Care Instructions:
- Rotate Regularly: To promote even wear and extend the mattress's lifespan, rotate the mattress 180 degrees every 3-6 months.
- Use a Mattress Protector: A waterproof and breathable mattress protector is highly recommended to shield against spills, stains, and allergens, keeping your mattress clean and hygienic.
- Spot Clean: For small spills, use a mild soap and water solution and dab gently with a clean cloth. Avoid saturating the mattress. Allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid Jumping: Do not jump on the mattress, as this can damage the spring unit and void warranties.
- Support: Ensure your bed base provides adequate and even support across the entire mattress surface.
