Mattress Care

Q. What kind of support/frame is necessary for bedding today?
A. Use a sturdy bed frame! If your mattress is a queen or king set, make sure that your frame has the extra centre support needed to prevent bowing and sagging. This is required to ensure complete warranty protection for your sleep set. Sealy's recommendation for frame usage is illustrated below...

Examples of proper bed frames for Queen and King size bedding:
The best way to get the longest life out of your mattress is to have it supported by a Sealy foundation. The foundation is designed to work with the mattress as a shock absorber. A Sealy foundation can add up to 1/3 more life to your mattress giving you a greater return for your purchase.


Q. How do I carry or move my mattress?
A. Two people should normally carry your Sealy mattress flat on its side. It's easier to handle and less likely to get damaged. Don't bend your mattress under any circumstances. Bending may damage the innerspring unit. Flex rather than bend the mattress when going through doorways, and don't bend the corners when putting on fitted sheets.


Q. How should our property clean our mattresses?
A. Keeping your Sealy bedding clean is simple with the use of a protective mattress pad. Vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method. If you must clean a stain, use mild soap with cold water and apply lightly! Don't ever soak a mattress or foundation, and don't use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress -- these chemicals could damage some of the comfort and upholstery materials.

A great way to protect against these types of issues is to invest in Sealy's HealthCare. HealthCare helps inhibit moisture/ fluid passing through to the mattress promoting a longer mattress life and reducing maintenance and room down time. See the product catalogue to learn more.


Q. How and why should the bedding be rotated?
How can we avoid body impressions in our mattresses?
How can we maintain consistent comfort feel throughout the life of our bedding?
A. We recommend that you rotate your Sealy mattress on a regular basis to refresh its comfort. Mattresses contain many layers of upholstery padding to increase their comfort life and support performance. Body indentations can be a normal occurrence in new mattresses, and indicates that the upholstery layers are conforming to a person's individual body contours. To help minimize body impressions, mattresses should be turned occasionally throughout their life. For convenience, we have illustrated below the best method.


Q. How should our property care for our mattresses?
A. Keep your Sealy mattress clean. We suggest using a mattress pad or Sealy's patented HealthCare product. Don't allow your mattress to get wet. Protect it from water or other liquids. Don't use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress. These chemicals could damage some of the comfort and upholstery materials.
