Installation
Tools required
Slotted Screwdriver
Mallet
Pliers
Scissors
To avoid the risk of injury it is recommended that 2 people
put the bed together.
Packaging disposal
Remove all polythene protective packaging and dispose of
carefully to avoid any possible injury to children. Please remove
any loose staples carefully with pliers and dispose of safely.
Airing a new mattress
Once you have removed your mattress from its packaging,
allow the mattress to breathe in a ventilated room for four
hours.
Mattress size
During storage and transit the mattress could become
compressed, once opened the mattress should go back to its
correct size within a couple of weeks.
Myer’s luxury mattresses are made to metric sizes, please refer
to the National Bed Federation website for information about
sizes and tolerances. www.bedfed.org.uk
Castors/Legs
Attach castors by pushing them firmly into position by hand
and give them a sharp tap with a mallet. Do not use a metal
object as this may damage the castor or base. Legs need to
be screwed in and checked regularly for tightness. The feet
and headboard bolts can be found either in the drawer or
attached to the underside of the divan base.
Connecting bases
Connect the two halves of double divan bases using the plastic
linking clips situated on the inside of the bases. The plastic clips
can become slightly compressed during transit so you may
need to carefully open the plastic clips by hand.
Attaching headboard
The headboard may be attached to either end of the divan
base. To fit the headboard to the divan, you will need to
pierce the divan fabric with scissors to accommodate the
headboard bolts. The approximate location of this is marked
on the divan. Screw tight to secure the headboard in place and
check regularly for tightness.
Using a suitable base
We recommend that a Myer’s luxury mattress should be
used with a Myer’ s divan base, however if you wish to use
the mattress on another base, you should always be sure that
the base is fit for purpose, otherwise it could damage your
mattress, which in turn would make your mattress guarantee
invalid. If you are using with a slatted base, the spacing
between the slats should be no more than 7cm.
We recommend that any bedframes with slat gaps bigger
than 7cm should be fitted with pegboard sheeting between
the slat base and the underside of the mattress to maintain
our guarantee support. Do not use your mattress on solid
plywood or hardwood as this would restrict ventilation and
cause deterioration on the underside of the mattress.
Caring for your bed
Getting used to your bed
Your new bed may feel a little strange at first and different
from what you are used to sleeping on. Don’t worry, you just
need to give it some time to adjust and for the fillings in the
mattress to settle.
Turning your mattress
Myer’s mattresses use generous layers of the finest
upholstery materials which may take longer than inferior
quality beds to settle evenly. The settlement will first be
evident in the most common sleeping positions; this is
quite normal and should not concern you. Turning or rotating
your mattress is the equivalent of plumping up your cushions.
Mattresses should be turned over or rotated every two weeks
for the first six months and at monthly intervals thereafter.
Cleaning your mattress
Dust can be removed from your mattress using a soft brush,
we do not recommend using a vacuum as this will disturb the
mattress fillings.
Discolouration
The chemicals used for fire retardancy may sometimes react
with other chemicals such as deodorants and perspiration,
causing discolouration. This is completely harmless and will
not affect the performance of the mattress.
Protecting your mattress
We recommend the use of a mattress protector to help
prolong the life of your mattress.
Airing your mattress
We recommend you leave your bed to air for 20 minutes
every morning to allow body moisture to evaporate.
