CARE & MAINTENANCE
If you have bought a Avebury product, thank you -you have invested in one of the finest beds or sofa beds available today.
To get the most from your purchase please read these guidelines carefully.
And now… relax.
Settlement
The luxurious quality of a Avebury mattress comes from the finest traditional materials we use. The fillings are designed to mould to your body shape and will naturally settle during the life of the mattress.
The main settlement will occur within the first year, and is perfectly natural. To even out this settlement, and thereby extend the life of your mattress, we recommend the following:
- In the first three months turn every two weeks as shown on page 6, after that turn every three months.
- In the case of a non-turn mattress, we recommend rotating at the above intervals.
Each mattress will respond differently to the shape and weight of the individual, with most settlement occurring during the first year.
Cleaning
If your mattress requires cleaning, we recommend you use professional upholstery cleaners. Please contact your retailer for details. Due to the natural fillings used some migration of hairs is to be expected. These should be brushed off, do not use a vacuum cleaner, as this will disturb the fillings. Do not use chemical cleaners or liquids of any sort – any marks or spillages should be soaked up with an absorbent cloth and the mattress should be left to air until it dries.
Turning
In the first three months turn every two weeks in the order shown below. After this the mattress should be turned in regular three month intervals.
Please be careful when turning the mattress to avoid injury to yourself or damage to property. We recommend that two people or more grip the mattress on the tape edging between the top panel and border to turn. The handles are not designed to take the weight of the mattress and are intended for final adjustment once it is in place. Do not bend or kink the mattress in any way, as this will damage the springs within. If the mattress is to be stored, it should be laid flat rather than on its side or end.
