MATTRESS CARE GUIDE Harrison Spinks The True Bedmakers

We believe in a great night’s sleep for everyone. Your new Harrison Spinks mattress is an investment and the first step towards healthier, restorative sleep. Lovingly handmade to order in Yorkshire, England, each mattress is unique to every customer. Please take the time to read this care guide in order to understand which type of mattress you have purchased and how to look after it. HANDMADE IN YORKSHIRE SINCE 1840

ON DELIVERY A Harrison Spinks pocket spring mattress is HEAVY, always use 2 people to handle the product. Take care when lifting to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the mattress. Seek assistance to move, turn and rotate the mattress, using the handles to do so, but not for lengthy carrying. After unwrapping your new mattress, leave it in a well ventilated room for a few hours. Any natural scent from the fillings will dissipate after a few days. 4

DIMENSIONS Each and every one of our mattresses are handmade to metric dimensions meaning they will naturally vary a little in size. A variation of +/- 2cm is in line with BS1334:1996. During transportation some mattresses may contract, but they will relax to their normal length again after being used for a short while. TUFTING All of our mattresses have tufts that ensure the upholstery layers remain firmly in place. In the unlikely event of any of your tufts snapping, contact the retailer from whom you purchased your mattress. They’ll arrange to have the tuft replaced in your home. GENERAL ADVICE...

MATTRESS PROTECTION We highly recommend using an under blanket or good quality cotton or wool-faced mattress protector. It’s a good idea to air the mattress regularly too, by leaving duvets folded back for a few hours each day. A waterproof protector may be used but will reduce the benefits of sleeping on a natural mattress surface and may lead to damage through condensation. CLEANING Remove dust and fluff from your mattress every few months using a soft brush. Never use a vacuum cleaner, even if you have a specific mattress attachment, as this can displace the natural fillings. Any spillages...

EXPECT IMPRESSIONS As most people sleep in the same position every night, body impressions are a normal feature of handmade mattresses. You may find fillings settle or dip in the area where you sleep which can leave a ridge in the centre of the mattress. Just like the impressions that form on the insole of leather shoes, this is simply your mattress “getting to know you”. REDUCING IMPRESSIONS We recommend following our rotating and turning instructions to minimise body impressions. Please note: our mattresses are extremely heavy. If you are unable to rotate and turn your mattress, with continued...

ROTATING YOUR NON-TURN MAT TRESS If your mattress label states non-turn/rotate only/single sleeping surface/pillow top, you may wish to rotate your mattress regularly during the first few months and about twice a year thereafter. Note: If you struggle to rotate your mattress, do not worry, this is only a recommendation to help reduce body impressions. Push the mattress at opposite corners A and B whilst it’s laying flat. Push on alternate corners A and B to position the mattress on the bed. Y mattress has now been our rotated end to end. Non-turn Zip & Link mattresses: Unzip your mattresses and...

TURNING YOUR TURNABLE MAT TRESS If your mattress is turnable or seasonal turn you may wish to turn and rotate your mattress regularly during the first few months and about twice a year thereafter. A good way to remember to turn your mattress is when the clocks change in the spring and autumn. Note: If you struggle to turn and rotate your mattress, do not worry, this is only a recommendation to help reduce body impressions. Rotate the mattress to overhang the bed. Raise the mattress up on its edge. Lower the mattress gently to expose the other side. Realign the mattress with the bed. You may also...
