TEMPUR® – FOR YOUR BEST NIGHT'S SLEEP Congratulations on your TEMPUR Purchase and on joining a growing number of owners worldwide who are enjoying the amazing comfort and pressure relieving benefits of TEMPUR. Before use, please take a little time to read through this booklet to understand how to get the optimum benefits and durability from your TEMPUR Product.
WHAT IS TEMPUR? HOW DOES TEMPUR WORK? TEMPUR is a temperature sensitive visco-elastic material with an open cell structure that moulds to the exact contours of your body. These properties together create a unique, pressure-relieving material that provides optimal comfort. It does this by allowing your body to rest in its natural position whilst distributing pressure evenly over the entire area of use, virtually eliminating pressure points which can be a source of discomfort. TEMPUR reacts to the warmth of your body and thereby adapts to the shape of it. The visco-elastic properties of the material mean that TEMPUR regains its original shape after compression with a certain built-in delay. This delay depends on the temperature. Therefore, TEMPUR feels firmer at lower temperatures and softer at higher temperatures.
USE OF YOUR TEMPUR PRODUCT Once unpacked, the product may give off a characteristic smell. This is completely harmless and should disappear within 4-6 weeks. To avoid this, air the product well before use. During transportation the cover may move from its original position. Once the TEMPUR Material has returned to normal room temperature, simply straighten the cover to the desired symmetrical position by hand. Over the first few months of use, the mattress cells will become open which results in the TEMPUR Material reacting more quickly to body temperature. It may therefore feel as if the material is getting softer. In fact the pressure relieving properties remain the same. Due to the nature of the TEMPUR Mattress, there is a 2cm tolerance on the width, length and depth. Please allow 4 weeks for the mattress to settle and ‘breathe’. Regularly ‘plump’ loose filled TEMPUR Pillows and Cushions to prevent the TEMPUR particles from sticking together and creating uncomfortable dips. Due to the unique pressure relieving properties of the TEMPUR Material, it can take some people a little time for their body to get used to a TEMPUR Product. Persevere, and within a few weeks you will be enjoying the product’s amazing comfort.
Please note TEMPUR generally do not recommend using an electric blanket with a TEMPUR mattress as it works best with the natural body heat of the user. It is highly likely you will not feel the optimum support if such an item is used, which potentially could cause irreversible damage to the pressure-relieving properties of your mattress. If, however, you wish to sleep with an electric blanket, we would suggest an over blanket rather than an under blanket. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure any electric blanket is less than 10 years old and in proper working order. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE Store all products in their original shape. Generally TEMPUR Products should not be bent or pressed into shape as there is a risk of the material being damaged. The following applies when transporting, moving or storing TEMPUR Products: • TEMPUR Mattresses must be stored flat, ideally in the original packaging. • TEMPUR Toppers can either be rolled up or stored flat. Do not roll out a TEMPUR Topper when it is cold as there can be a risk of the material tearing or cracking. • Due to the visco-elasticity of the TEMPUR Material, mattresses, overlays and toppers can become slightly compressed during transportation or storage. This is normal and the product will regain its normal size within 2-4 weeks at room temperature. • TEMPUR Pillows should be stored in their original shape. However, products such as the Original Travel Pillow may be transported rolled up in the bag supplied. The bag should only be used when travelling to avoid permanent deformation of the pillow. • TEMPUR Products should be stored in a dry environment (maximum 65% relative humidity). CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The TEMPUR Material cannot be washed or dry cleaned. To clean a TEMPUR Product, remove the cover and air the TEMPUR Material, or wipe it off carefully using a well-wrung cloth to remove any stains or dirt from the surface. TEMPUR is produced with an environmentally friendly, bacteria reducing component, which prevents bacterial and fungal growth. However, TEMPUR Products should be regularly aired to remove any moisture.
