How to Set Up Your Mattress in a Box: A Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to the world of convenience with your new mattress in a box! This guide will help you safely and effectively set up your mattress, ensuring a smooth process from box to bed.

Important Note Before You Begin:

Before diving into the setup steps, there’s one crucial thing you should verify – the model and size of your mattress.

It can be quite embarrassing and frustrating to unwrap your mattress only to discover that it's the wrong size for your bed frame. Returning or replacing it after it has been unpacked can be a complicated and messy process. To avoid this scenario, we strongly advise you to double-check the mattress label for the correct size and model as soon as it arrives. This simple step can save you a lot of time and trouble, ensuring that you can proceed with setting up your new mattress with confidence.

Let's get started with the setup steps.

Step 1: Position Your Box

Upon delivery, place the box in the room where you will use the mattress. It is easier to handle the box before it is opened, as the mattress will expand and become more cumbersome.

 

Step 2: Remove the Mattress from the Box

Open the box and gently remove the mattress, which will be compactly rolled and sealed. Carry it to the bed frame or designated area where it will be set up.

 

Step 3: Read the Instructions

After opening the box, take a few minutes to read through any provided instructions or safety information. This will include important details about the unboxing process and how to handle the mattress properly.

 

Step 4: Remove the Outer Wrapping

Carefully remove the outer plastic wrap from the mattress. It’s important to do this step before unrolling your mattress to avoid any uncontrolled expansion.

 

Step 5: Unroll the Mattress

Lay the mattress flat on your bed frame or directly on the floor, aligning it correctly with the area it’s meant to fill. Ensure the environment is free of sharp objects or hazards.

 

Step 6: Carefully Cut the Plastic Cover

Using the cutting tool provided, carefully cut the remaining plastic packaging starting from side to side. Remember to cut away from your body and maintain a shallow angle to avoid damaging the mattress itself.

Common Mistake Alert: A common mistake during this step is accidentally cutting the mattress fabric itself. This usually happens if the blade is inserted too deeply into the plastic packaging. To avoid damaging your new mattress, use only the tip of the blade and cut with gentle pressure. Ensure that you are only cutting the plastic and not the mattress. Taking this precaution will prevent any unwanted tears or cuts in the mattress fabric, ensuring that your mattress remains in perfect condition.

 

Step 7: Allow the Mattress to Expand

Once the plastic is removed, the mattress will begin to expand. This may take several hours, and it could take up to 48 hours for the mattress to fully achieve its optimal shape and comfort level.

Note: It's important to note that full expansion may take up to a week, especially depending on weather conditions. Humidity and cooler temperatures, particularly during rainy periods, can slow down the expansion process of the foam. If you notice that your mattress is expanding slower than expected, consider adjusting the room temperature or reducing humidity to help facilitate the expansion.

 

Step 8: Dispose of Packaging Material

After your mattress is positioned and expanding, you can dispose of the packaging materials. Please consider recycling eligible components to minimize waste.

 

Step 9: Enjoy Your New Mattress

Once the mattress has fully expanded, make your bed with your favorite linens and enjoy a comfortable sleep on your new mattress.

 

Safety Tips:

• Handle with Care: When using scissors or a blade, always cut away from your body and keep your hands and other objects clear of the blade.
• Give It Space: Mattresses can expand quickly once the sealed packaging is opened. Make sure children and pets are kept at a safe distance during this process.
• Check the Area: Ensure the setup area is free of water, moisture, or sharp objects that could damage the mattress.

 

Note: Instructions must be followed and we accept no responsibility to incorrect handling.
