KINGSDOWN SLEEP SYSTEM LIMITED WARRANTY

Take good care of your sleep system and it will take care of you. No other piece of furniture will be used in your home more than your sleep system. Like a home appliance, your sleep system requires some minimum measures for your healthy sleep, night after night.

Carry the mattress flat on its side. This way is easier and less likely to damage the mattress. If handles are provided, use for positioning on the foundation only. Be sure not to use the handles to move the mattress. They are not designed to do so.

Protect your mattress and foundation against accidents and/or damage. Keep your bedding clean and free from stains. Use a mattress pad and wash it frequently with your bed linens. Vacuum the surface of the mattress to keep it free of skin debris that accumulates in normal use. Stains of ANY KIND will invalidate this warranty. This includes, but is not limited to; grease, dirt or mud, beverage or food spills, stains caused by chemicals or cleaners or biological stains from either pets or humans. Cleaners are not recommended as the use of cleaning fluids may damage the fabric and materials in your mattress. Allowing water or other liquids to penetrate your mattress may cause damage to the layers of the upholstery which can cause the materials to compress. Damage caused by water or other liquids will invalidate your warranty.

Properly support your sleep system; a warranty requirement. The proper center support & leg is required for all sleep systems and all sizes. (Sizes: Twin, Twin Long, Full, Full Long, Queen, King and California King). Proper support as defined by Kingsdown, Inc., is the use of a frame or platform which includes appropriate center support with a center leg resting firmly on the floor. An acceptable alternative would be five rigid cross support slats with a center leg, centered left and right and head to foot, resting firmly on the floor; OR a solid platform surface with a rigid center. An improper support frame and lack of center support will void your product warranty. To ensure the designed performance of your new mattress set, it is essential that it be supported properly from underneath.

Beds with Head & Foot Boards:
When used on a traditional bedstead with head and foot board, it is highly recommended to use a minimum of 3 to 5 rigid cross slats or steel flex-free slats, with one or more legs in direct contact with the floor. These slats should be securely attached to the bedstead side rails. Utilizing the recommended support systems above will provide the best results, allowing your new comfort system to perform the way it was designed over the duration of its warranty.

Rotate your mattress frequently unless indicated otherwise. Rotating your mattress helps optimize the longevity of your sleep system & settle any upholstery layers. Mattresses with personalized left & right core units do not require rotation. If you have a two-sided mattress, flip your mattress at the time of the turn. Your mattress is designed to conform to your body’s contours beginning within the first few weeks of ownership. If you notice impressions don’t worry, this means the system is functioning properly.
