Instructions

    • 1

      Carry the Serta mattress into your home or from room to room in an upright position. Never bend it to fit through smaller spaces.

    • 2

      Place your Serta mattress on a new box spring. An old box spring can decrease the life of your mattress.

    • 3

      Install the box spring and Serta mattress on a solid, durable bed frame. Again, insecure frames can decrease the life of your Serta mattress.

    • 4

      Remove the plastic from the Serta mattress and wait a few hours before putting on bedding.

    • 5

      Add a mattress pad to the Serta mattress to protect it from stains and dirt. Add sheets over the mattress pad for further protection and comfort.

    • 6

      Rotate your Serta mattress once every few months or when you notice a sleep impression forming.

    • 7

      Use the upholstery attachment of your vacuum cleaner to clean the surface of your Serta mattress once a year.
