2. Safety Information

Always prioritize your child's safety. Ensure the mattress fits snugly within the crib frame, leaving no gaps larger than two fingers (approximately 1 inch or 2.5 cm) between the mattress and the crib sides. Gaps can pose an entrapment hazard. Do not use additional padding, pillows, quilts, or loose bedding that could obstruct airflow or pose a suffocation risk. Keep the mattress clean and dry to prevent mold or mildew growth. Regularly inspect the mattress for any signs of wear or damage.

3. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the mattress from its packaging.
2. Air Out: Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours to dissipate any new product odors.
3. Position: Place the mattress firmly within the crib frame. Verify that there are no significant gaps between the mattress and the crib sides.
4. Cover: Ensure the mattress cover is properly fitted and zipped, if applicable.

4. Usage

The IKEA VYSSA SKONT mattress is designed for use on both sides. To ensure even wear and prolong the lifespan of the mattress, it is recommended to regularly rotate and flip the mattress every few months. This practice helps maintain the mattress's shape and support over time.

5. Maintenance and Care

• Washing the Cover: The mattress cover is machine washable. Always refer to the care label attached to the cover for specific washing temperatures and instructions. Typically, a gentle cycle with mild detergent is recommended.
• Drying the Cover: Ensure the cover is completely dry before placing it back on the mattress. Air drying is often preferred to prevent shrinkage or damage.
• Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or stains on the mattress core (if the cover is removed), spot clean immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the foam. Allow the mattress to air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area before re-covering.
• Ventilation: Periodically air out the mattress by removing the cover and allowing the foam core to breathe, especially if there is any moisture or odor.

6. Troubleshooting

• New Product Odor: A new mattress may have a slight odor upon unpacking. This is normal and will dissipate with proper ventilation. Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours before use.
• Uneven Wear or Sagging: To prevent uneven wear and potential sagging, regularly rotate and flip the mattress every few months. Ensure the crib base provides adequate and even support for the mattress.
• Stains on Cover: Refer to the 'Maintenance and Care' section for instructions on machine washing the removable cover.
• Moisture/Dampness: If the mattress becomes damp, remove the cover and allow the foam core to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before re-covering. Ensure the crib environment is not excessively humid.
