Care Recommendations

Protection Tips

Florida Considerations

• Foam sleeps warmer in humid rooms; keep the bedroom conditioned and let the bed air out each morning before making it

Common Problems

• Heat retention complaints
• Impressions on one side from no rotation

Common Mistakes

• Flipping the mattress
• Using a slatted base with gaps wider than the maker allows

Warranty Information
