Take care guide

Some tip top tips to ensure you get the most from your Sleep Athlete products:

Mattresses

• Do not bend or try to roll up your mattress to install or move it later.
• Let your new mattress breathe after being unpacked as much as possible in the first few days by removing your bedding during the day and keeping the room ventilated.
• If your mattress specification needs to be turned over and around on a regular basis to distribute weight pressure think once a month.
• Most of our mattresses are constructed as “no need to turn” consider this option if disabled or you live on your own. This feature suits all profiles and uses the latest technology in construction and has fast become the choice of professionals.
• Your base must at least be fit for purpose and to a recognised specification to accept a new mattress. Any concerns please contact us or highlight this in your FREE personal sleeping profile (worth £95).
• Size matters please check the size of your current bed/mattress as in the UK we still have old feet and inches imperial measures along side metric? Not everyone is aware of that and order a king-size when they need a 160cm.
• A machine washable mattress protector is vital to absorb perspiration and skin scales lost during sleep.
• Do not use detergents or chemical cleaners to remove stains or spillage, you will make the matter worse as they react with fire retardant properties in the fabric and fillings. Most of our mattresses come with washable removable covers and mattress protectors are key to prevent exactly that.
• Mattresses have never been designed to last for twenty years or more. They have just been kept that long never mind what state they are in. This product will effect how you sleep, your sleeping habits, posture and personal performance. Check it every year to remind yourself of what it was like new and when you get over 3 years and onto 5 think about replacing to a new fresh mattress soon.

Softs

• Pillows can be just fluffy things to make the bed look great. In reality they are products that can change your sleeping habits if not purchased with extreme care. See FREE personal sleeping profile (worth £95) or contact us
• Use pillow protectors in exactly the same way as your mattress protector. Ensure you can machine wash them and replace them every year is a good rule.
• If you need deep filled pillow to actually sleep with and more than one, your mattress is to firm for your body weight.
• Duvets come in various warmth ratings and fillings. Yes they provide something fluffy and comfy to sleep under. Actually they control body temperature during the long hours asleep and should be chosen with care not because of a nice box.
• You can also get duvets that accommodate extremes for really hot and cold partners.
• Machine washable at 60 degrees protects you from the build of perspiration lost skin scales and allergen build up. See free sleep profile

Mattress toppers

• A professional mattress is built up in layers, so a good quality extra layer (topper) can be added to any new or older mattress to optimise higher levels of comfort and support. Caution an old poor quality mattress will simply reflect itself in the topper.
• Mattress toppers can be purchased very cheaply these days and make all sorts of claims. Again whatever your budget or concern get advice. See free sleeping profile
• As an overall professional guide very little is known about what products to buy and how they effect the quality of our sleep, our sleeping habits and our overall performance and ability to recover properly.
