Care of your Bed

Getting Used to Your Bed
When you get your new bed it may seem a little strange at first. The chances are that the springs and upholstery in your old bed were not what they used to be. Allow some time for your body to adjust to your new bed and for the fillings to settle.


Do Not Bend or Fold the Mattress
This is likely to damage the spring unit and may invalidate the guarantee.


Do Not Use Chemical or Detergent Cleaners
These may adversely affect not only the covering material and stitching but also some of the cushioning materials used. In the event of soiling, the mattress may be lightly sponged with a weak solution of soap and water.
Excessive wetting can damage the fabric.


Do Not Overload the Compartments in Storage Models
The drawers in storage divans have been designed primarily to hold bed linen, clothing and lightweight items. Excessive weight can cause distortion or damage to the drawers. Over filling them may restrict free movement or cause them to jam.


CHOOSING YOUR NEW MYER'S BED

Turn the Mattress Regularly
Myer’s use the finest upholstery materials in their mattresses. These materials may settle during the first few months of use, causing slight depressions. This is quite normal and should not concern you.
Mattresses should be turned every two weeks for the first six months and at monthly intervals thereafter. Single sided mattresses need only turning from head to foot. On Thermasleep models the mattress should be turned from warm to cool side fortnightly for the first two months. Thereafter monthly turning from end to end is required in addition to six monthly seasonal turning from side to side.


No Mattress is Completely Colourfast
We recommend that you use a mattress cover or underblanket which will help to prevent the dyes used in some mattress covers transferring onto the bed linen as a reaction to body moisture.


Air the Mattress Regularly
This prevents the possibility of body moisture reacting with fabric dyes.
About every three months check the headboard and any fittings (where applicable). They stand considerable strain and may have worked loose. Make sure the castors/glides run freely and remember to protect the carpet or floor surfaces
