By following these care guidelines, you can expect your mattress to provide comfort and
support for many years.
• Do not stand or jump on your mattress or base.
• Do not bend or fold your mattress.
• If your mattress contains an anatomic gel comfort layer, ensure that it always remains flat.
Do not store it on its side.
Mattress protection
• Always use a good quality mattress protector to ensure a fresh and hygienic night’s sleep
and protect your mattress from spills and stains. Failure to use a mattress protector could
void your guarantee. In the unlikely event that your mattress needs to be returned to
A.H. Beard for repairs, we may require it to be sanitised by an accredited service at your
expense to ensure the health and safety of our team.
• Leave your mattress to breathe regularly to allow body moisture to dissipate. Simply leave the
bedlinen turned back for a few hours to allow air to circulate around and through the mattress.
Rotating your mattress
We recommend that you rotate your new mattress end-to-end every two weeks during the
first four months, and monthly thereafter, to ensure more even wear. If your mattress has
handles, these can be used to rotate it, but are not designed to carry the full weight of the
mattress. Do not use the handles to lift and carry the mattress, as this may cause damage
and will void the guarantee. To help minimise body impressions, we recommend that you use
the entire sleep surface, including the middle. This will help to even out the settling across the
surface of the mattress.
Use a suitable, supportive base
• Use a supportive base with your new mattress. A.H. Beard’s timber platform bases provide the
best possible support for your new mattress, to prolong its life and ensure the most comfortable
sleep experience. We recommend that you do not use an old base with a new mattress, as both
parts of your sleep set work together to provide you with optimum comfort and support.
• A.H. Beard’s adjustable bases also provide a strong supportive foundation for your new
mattress, with the added benefit of articulation. An adjustable base allows you to find
your perfect position for sleeping or relaxing. It may help ease lower back pain, improve
circulation and may assist with other conditions such as snoring, reflux and swelling. For
