Green Sleep Mattress Care

Care Instructions for Your Natural Rubber / Innerspring Mattress
The Green Nest Organic Sleep System - a complete mattress, foundation, bedding, and accessory line - provides the ideal sleeping experience and perfect back support in a natural, chemical-free environment. To maintain these rejuvenating properties and to continue this luxurious experience for years to come, follow these easily maintained steps for the health of these fine natural products.

Preparing Your Mattress for a Restful Sleep
Natural cotton may retain a scent that would benefit from airing out before any usage. Simply place your mattress and foundation in a clean, dry environment. This new scent will dispel quickly with time, let nature do the rest.

Hint: Replace your old foundation when purchasing a new mattress. Frequently, springs lose their strength and support. Sometimes when a new mattress appears to be sagging, it's actually the old foundation.

Maintaining Green Nest's Natural Advantage

• Vacuum and air your mattress and box spring regularly to help its natural fibers to breathe.
• Always protect the integrity of your bedding by using a mattress pad. Launder often, as moisture and dampness are not good for the mattress.
• Encourage even wear by turning your mattress regularly.
• And as fun as it may be, no jumping on the bed! Mattresses are not made to bear this kind of weight concentration.

Every two weeks for the first two months, alternate your mattress end-to-end and flip it. Then turn it every 4-6 months. To safeguard against damage, always have two people to flip the mattress. Use the handles only to guide the mattress into place after flipping. The handles cannot support the mattress's weight and they could detach if you try to lift the mattress with them.

Refreshing the Appearance
A natural way to revive the beauty of your mattress is by spot cleaning with a solution of 1:3 parts white distilled vinegar and water. Mix this solution and spray on the spot, then leave it exposed until the stain fades and any scent of vinegar disappears. Stubborn stains may be cleaned with an environmental friendly soap. Gently rub in a circular motion. Rinse and repeat. Always make sure the mattress is entirely dry before returning it to use.

If you prefer to use a non-toxic spot cleaner, follow the manufacturer's directions and make sure the cleaner dries completely before you use your mattress.

Proper care for your Green Nest all natural mattress will keep its promise to you by bringing many years of luxurious, healthful rest for you and your family.
