  • What to Expect with My New Mattress
    What To Expect With a New Set of Bedding Expect An Adjustment Period. Just as your new dress shoes take some time to feel good, your new mattress might take some time for your body to become adjusted. This is especially true if you are changing from a very old bed set, a damaged bed set, or a poor quality bed set. This is also true if you are changing “comfort” levels, for example moving from a firm to a new fluffy pillow top mattress. It can take days or weeks for your body to adjust to a new mattress. Slight Comfort Impressions Are Normal. You can expect your mattress to develop slight indentations called “body impressions” as soon as you start sleeping on it. These slight indentations are normal and are the result of the quilt and upholstery layers settling and conforming to your individual body. As these layers compress, the mattress will actually improve in performance. True sagging resembles the dipping look of a hammock in which the dip measures greater than 1 1/2 inches. While slight body impressions are normal, they are usually not greater than 1 1/2 inches in depth and are therefore not reason to exchange your mattress under warranty. Although most mattresses now only have one sleep surface, your mattress may benefit in comfort and durability if it is rotated regularly (clockwise). Visible Ridge Down The Middle Is Normal. When two people share a bed, they usually each sleep on one side therefore settling the layers of comfort on each side. Often times, there is a visible ridge down the middle of a king or queen bed where the comfort layers have not been compressed.

  • Bedding Claim Information
    Your continued comfort is important to us! A “bedding claim form” is a document required by the manufacturer of your bed to provide them with detailed information necessary to determine if your mattress has a defect within the warranty guidelines. A bedding claim form is required for the following Bedding Vendors: Aireloom, Omaha Bedding, Sealy, Serta, Simmons, Southerland and Stearns and Foster. *If you have moved outside of our normal delivery zones, please contact the manufacturer for warranty assistance. (This excludes Omaha Bedding customers please continue to follow the NFM claim form).* Please note: If you have a Tempur-pedic, Land and Sky, or Kingsdown, please contact the vendor directly for assistance with your warranty. Getting Started on your Bedding Claim Form To begin the process, please contact our customer service at 1-800-544-5349. We would like to help you determine if the concern you are experiencing would require a bedding claim form to be filled out or not. You will be provided a reference number for your claim form as well. If customer service has determined a claim is required, please fill out a bedding claim form including all required pictures (examples will be provided in this document). The bedding vendors have requirements for your mattress to qualify for the warranty. Here are some of the requirements: o You must have matching mattress and box springs (both must be of the same vendor purchased at the same time unless one piece was a previous warranty replacement), unless you have a platform bed. o You must have the law label for the mattress and box springs (it does not have to be on the mattress and/or box springs, but you must have it present) o You must have a proper frame (please see below for a list of a few acceptable frames) o Your mattress and box spring must be free of any and all stains, soilage, dirt, and/or debris o Warranties do not cover comfort issues.

  • Congratulations on Your New Beautyrest® Mattress!
    CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW BEAUTYREST ® MATTRESS! To receive service under the terms of the warranty, contact your original Beautyrest® dealer. If the dealer is no longer in business or you have moved outside its service area, see below to contact Simmons Consumer Services. USAGE INSTRUCTIONS PROPER USE Use a supportive, rigid, non-yielding foundation to support your mattress, preferably by purchasing the matching Beautyrest® or Simmons® foundation. An old foundation unit may not provide sufficient support. Likewise an older frame (with or without an appropriate foundation) may not provide sufficient support. If used with a foundation, use a frame that provides rigid center support as well as support for the head, foot, and sides. For any queen or king frame that does not have a metal center support, you must use at least 5 hardwood or metal slats (1” x 4”) and add legs to the 3 center slats. By not providing a sufficient supportive frame, damage can occur to the product that will void your warranty. If used without a foundation (e.g. with a platform bed), add a solid platform on top of any open slatted mattress support system in which the spaces between the slats are greater than 2 inches (5 centimeters). Hardboard, plywood, particleboard or a similar material, inserted between the mattress and the slatted platform, supporting the entire surface of the mattress will provide appropriate support. Use of an open slatted mattress support system in which the spaces between the slats are greater than 2 inches (5 centimeters), without the addition of a solid platform, will damage your mattress and void your warranty.

Mullan, General Counsel Mary T. Boyle, Executive Director FROM: Mary A. House, Acting Assistant General Counsel, Regulatory Affairs Daniel R. Vice, Attorney, Regulatory Affairs SUBJECT: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads; Proposed Amendment BALLOT VOTE DUE ____________________________Tuesday, October 6, 2020 Staff is forwarding a briefing package to the Commission, recommending that the Commission publish in the Federal Register the attached draft notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to amend the Standard for the Flammability of Mattresses and Mattress Pads (Standard), 16 CFR part 1632. The Standard sets forth a test to determine the ignition resistance of a mattress or mattress pad when exposed to a lighted cigarette. It currently requires the use of Standard Reference Material cigarette SRM 1196 as an ignition source. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the former sole supplier of SRM 1196, has exhausted its supply of SRM 1196, and is unable to procure more of these cigarettes. NIST has replaced SRM 1196 with SRM 1196a. The draft NPR proposes to amend the Standard to replace SRM 1196 with SRM 1196a as the ignition source in the Standard. The Office of the General Counsel is providing the attached draft NPR for the Commission’s consideration. Please indicate your vote on the following options: I.

  • Viscoelastic (Memory) Foam “Low-Resilience” Foam, in That It Lacks the Surface “Springiness” of Other FPF Products
    Published by the Polyurethane Foam Association www.pfa.org Volume 11 | No. 1 (Revised 2016) description of viscoelastic polyurethane foam as “dead” or Viscoelastic (Memory) Foam “low-resilience” foam, in that it lacks the surface “springiness” of other FPF products. In fact, certain viscoelastic foam iscoelastic foam, also known as memory or temper foam, products claim to absorb up to 90% of impact. While lack of was first commercialized during the mid 60’s as a result of resilience may appear to be a disadvantage, as discussed later, a NASA’s AMES Research technology transfer program. V “dead” foam can be highly desirable in some applications. This open-cell variety of flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) is distinguished by properties allowing it to redistribute the G- In addition to these key advantages, many viscoelastic products Force suffered by astronauts during take-off and re-entry, and also react to body temperature and ambient temperatures, providing commercial pilots a more comfortable seating surface softening with heat and more easily adjusting to body contours. during long flights. Viscoelastic pressure distribution performance represents one of the most significant comfort innovations from the FPF industry. Characteristics Viscoelastic foam is typified by its slow recovery after compression. When a weighted object (for example, the human body) is positioned on viscoelastic foam, the foam progressively conforms to the shape of the object, and after the weight is removed, the foam slowly reassumes its initial shape. Due to this gradual recovery, viscoelastic foam also can be described as “slow recovery” foam. Other characteristics include viscoelastic foam’s ability to dampen vibration as well as absorb shock.
