Follow these simple Do’s and Don’ts when caring for your new sleep set to ensure its long life and warranty eligibility.

• Do give your new sleep set time to "air" upon removal from its plastic packaging. And be sure to dispose of all plastic packaging as soon as possible.
• Do carry your mattress flat on its side. It's easier to handle and you'll be less likely to damage the mattress.
• Do keep your bedding clean. We always suggest using a mattress pad.
• Do replace the old boxspring when purchasing a new mattress. An old boxspring may not provide sufficient support. It may appear that your new mattress is sagging when it is actually the boxspring supporting the mattress that has become worn.
• Do use an appropriate frame and center support for queen- and king-size sets. Using the proper frame will ensure that your warranty remains in effect.
• Do rotate your mattress.
• Don't smoke in bed. Stearns & Foster mattresses are manufactured as required by federal law to resist, but not necessarily eliminate, ignition by smoldering cigarettes. In addition, Stearns & Foster mattresses meet the more stringent California TB603 regulation for flammability.
• Don't let anyone stand or jump on your sleep set. It wasn't built for that type of weight distribution or abuse.
• Don't allow your mattress to get wet. Some of the upholstery materials may compress. Protect it from water or other liquids.
• Don't place a board between your mattress and boxspring. Your sleep set is designed as an integrated system to provide you with proper support, and the boxspring plays an important role.
• Don't bend your new Stearns & Foster mattress more than 20 degrees. Such treatment may damage the innerspring unit. Flex rather than bend the mattress when going through doorways.Don't remove the law tag label at the end of your mattress. This serves as a means of identification to establish your warranty rights.
• Don't use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your sleep set. These chemicals will damage some of the construction materials.
