Get to know your new Sleepyhead ned

At first your new Sleepyhead bed will feel different from the mattress you have been sleeping on. Don't worry, your body will soon become adjusted to the extra comfort, support and benefits that only the technologically advanced Sleepyhead sleep systems can provide.
Body impressions (small indentations) are normal on the surface of any new mattress whilst the upholstery filling is leveling to a final position and getting used to your body contours. This does not constitute a manufacturing fault.
On a pillowtop mattress 35mm height loss is considered normal, and on a non-pillowtop mattress, 25mm height loss is considered normal. However, depending on the mattress, and the user, other impressions of greater depth may occur. Whether this qualifies as a manufacturing fault or not is solely determined by the manufacturer.
This is measured by removing all of the bedding and placing a straight edge such as a broom across the bed. The gap underneath is then measured. You may be asked to do this by a Sleepyhead representative to ascertain the body impression.

Do's & Don'ts of Bedding Care

To obtain the best possible performance and to keep your bed in great condition, the following points should be adhered to.

DO turn and/or rotate your mattress frequently.

DO carry your mattress flat or on its side. This is a job for two people.

DO use a mattress protector. The use of a washable, good quality mattress protector will help keep your mattress clean. A waterproof sheet under the mattress protector may be useful for children's beds.

DO air your bed. Airing your bed periodically by leaving bed linen off for several hours will allow condensation caused by body heat to evaporate.

DO vacuum your bed regularly using low suction.

DO treat spills and stains as soon as possible. Gently scrape away soil or mop any liquid. Use a clean, damp cloth and dry in shade away from direct heat and allow to dry thoroughly before re-use.

DO firmly push in all base leg/castors supplied with your new base. This will enhance product life and provide optimum comfort.

DO replace your base when purchasing a new mattress. The base supports the entire mattress and old springs lose their strength and support. By not using the intended base with your new mattress, damage can occur to the product. This is not a manufacturing fault.

DO dispose of all plastic packaging immediately and appropriately. Bags are polyethylene and can be recycled and are dangerous for young children. Please ensure the plastic is properly discarded.

DO store your mattress in a breathable bag.

DO ensure your mattress and base are appropriately packaged when transporting or storing your bed to prevent structural damage or condensation which can cause dampness and mildew, thus voiding the guarantee. If you have a pocket spring sleep system, lay your bed flat for storage as storing on its end will damage the bed.

DON'T place plastic bags near children as they could cause suffocation.

DON'T remove border labels or tags. The border label on your new bed contains information to help identify the mattress you own, should you have any future concerns.

DON'T use cleaning agents on your mattress. Chemicals contained in some cleaning agents may damage the fabric or underlying materials in your mattress. To remove a stain or mark, use a clean damp cloth only.

DON'T bend or jump on your Sleepyhead mattress under any circumstances. This may cause damage to the internal construction of your mattress.

DON'T smoke in bed.

DON'T saturate fabric with water or other cleaning liquid.

DON'T use dishwashing or laundry detergent.

DON'T scrub with a stiff brush.
