Tempur-pedic Mattresses

Following are some tips from Tempur-Pedic:
1. Be sure your Tempur-Pedic mattress is placed on a firm, solid-surface, non-spring foundation or adjustable bed base that is structurally capable of supporting it. Your warranty is based on tests conducted on "sets" that consist of Tempur-Pedic mattresses and Tempur-Pedic platform foundations and/or Tempur Advanced Ergo Systems. If you do not use one of these options, you may be required to provide proof of the quality of your foundation if you make a warranty claim. Placing plywood or particleboard over your existing foundation is not recommended and may not provide the required support.
2. Your Tempur-Pedic mattress is temperature-sensitive. In rooms of 65 degrees Farenheit or less, your mattress will become somewhat firmer. However, it will readily warm and respond to your body temperature when you lie on it. Due to the temperature-sensitivity of the material we do not recommend using an electric blanket or heating pad with your mattress. These items can impair the unique ability of your Tempur-Pedic mattress to react to your body temperature and conform exactly to your body shape.
3. Do not use conventional, poly-filled or quilted mattress pads as they can affect your experience and enjoyment of the full pressure-relieving qualities of the TEMPUR material. Tempur-Pedic branded mattress protectors have been specifically designed to protect your Tempur-Pedic mattress while not impacting the feel or performance.
4. Your Tempur-pedic mattress features a one-sided design and should never be flipped.
5. Your new mattress may feel firmer and not exactly like the one on the showroom floor. It sometimes takes several weeks to properly condition your new mattress, and for your body to become accustomed to the unique feeling of it. Most people are very comfortable on the first night, but others may need extra time to adjust to the pressure relieving qualities and increased support of the TEMPUR material.
6. Your mattress may initially have a slight odor remaining from the unique manufacturing process. All polyurethane-based materials have this characteristic. This is normal, completely harmless and will dissipate within a few days.
7. When transporting or storing your mattress, lay it flat...not on its side or folded. The handles included on some Tempur-Pedic models are for positioning purposes only...NOT for carrying. NOTE: Your mattress may be delivered folded to make it easier for the delivery team to handle and move. If it is delivered this way, particularly in weather below 50 degrees F, do not force it to lay flat! It may take a few hours, but the mattress will naturally unfold as it warms up.
8. The covers on some Tempur-Pedic mattress models are removable for washing. We recommend a cold temperature setting for machine washing and a cool setting for machine drying. Air-drying is best. Do not over-dry the cover and do not use chlorine products or harsh stain removers of any kind. Never wash the TEMPUR material. Please refer to the tags sewn into your mattress cover or contact the Tempur-Pedic Customer Service department at 888-811-5053 if you do not know if your cover is removable.
