You’ve made a great choice to purchase a new Sherman mattress. We know you will experience many years of comfort and good sleep. We encourage you to read and understand the following instructions when setting up you Sherman mattress for the first time.
Set up instructions
- Always transport and store your mattress on it’s side in it’s dust bag. You must carry the mattress with another adult, not by yourself.
- Never fold or bend your mattress because it will damage the mattress spring unit and edge support frames. Gradually manoeuvre the mattress when going through doorways.
- Don’t remove the tag located on the underside of your mattress. This contains details vital to your guarantee.
- Dispose of your plastic mattress bag straight away. CAUTION: Keep plastic bags out of reach of children.
Mattress foundation
- When purchasing a new mattress, you should consider replacing your old foundation as well.
- For the best performance of your mattress, we strongly recommend the use of an appropriate, new foundation. Sherman mattresses are not designed to be used on a flexible or sprung base, this can cause the mattress to dip and will not offer appropriate support.
Slat beds - Important advice*
- When used on a slat base that does not comply to Australian product standards, your mattress will not perform as it would on a Sherman bed base. Sherman bed bases are available at sherman.com.au and are suitable for all mattress types.
To ensure that the slats in your furniture provide safe and appropriate support, please check the following:
- Use solid, non-flexible slats spaced so that the gaps between the slats are not wider than the width of the slats themselves, maximum width between slats is 70mm.
- Slats should be fixed to the frame to prevent movement during use.
- For Queen and King size, an adequate centre rail with support leg must support the slats.
- All slats should be smooth with any sharp edges removed.
* Damage caused by the use of inappropriate slats as detailed above is not covered under this guarantee.
Ongoing mattress care
Instructions: Here are the things you need to do regularly to care for new Sherman mattress.
- Keep Clean: Keep your mattress clean, a mattress protector is strongly advisable.
- Keep Dry: You should protect your mattress from water and other fluids. A waterproof sheet or fitted waterproof cover under the mattress protector is strongly advisable for young children’s beds.
- Dry Cleaning: Dry cleaning chemicals can damage some of the mattress materials. Refer to the care instructions on the law-tag (sewn into the underside of all Sherman mattresses).
- Airing: We recommend occasionally vacuuming and airing your mattress.
- Rotate and Turn: Rotating your Sherman mattress will even out the settling of upholstery layers, increase the comfort and prolong the life of your mattress. Rotate your mattress end to end every month.
- Avoid damage: You should never allow anyone to jump on your mattress as this can dislodge the comfort layers and damage the spring unit.
