Your ZINUS mattress is compressed and rolled for convenient shipping. Follow these steps for proper unboxing and expansion:
- Lay the Box on its Side: Position the mattress box on its side in your bedroom, near the assembled bed frame.
- Remove Bagged Mattress: Carefully remove the bagged mattress from the box.
- Tear Away First Packing Material: Gently tear away the first layer of thin bag or plastic film. DO NOT USE A KNIFE for this step, as it may damage the mattress.
- Roll Out Compressed Mattress: Place the compressed mattress onto a clean, flat surface (or directly onto your bed frame), with the zipper side facing down.
- Cut Open Clear Plastic Bag: Carefully cut open the clear plastic bag along the edges using scissors. The mattress will instantly begin to decompress. Remove and recycle the plastic bag.

Care and Maintenance
Mattress Care:
- The mattress cover is designed for easy cleaning. Unzip the mesh cover and hand wash it as needed.
- For spills or stains on the mattress foam itself, spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Avoid saturating the foam.
- Allow the mattress to air dry completely before replacing the cover or using bedding.
- Regularly rotate the mattress (head to foot) every 3-6 months to promote even wear and extend its lifespan.
- To maintain freshness, periodically air out the mattress by removing bedding.
SmartBase Foundation Care:
- Wipe down the metal frame with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Periodically check all bolts and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
Troubleshooting
Mattress Related:
- Odor upon Unboxing: A slight odor is normal for newly manufactured foam products. Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for up to 72 hours.
- Incomplete Expansion: Ensure the mattress was removed from its packaging within 72 hours of receipt. Allow the full 72 hours for complete expansion. Ensure it is on a flat surface during this time.
- Discomfort: Memory foam mattresses require a short adjustment period. If discomfort persists after the initial break-in period, ensure the mattress is properly supported by the foundation.
SmartBase Related:
- Squeaking Noises: Check all bolts and connections on the SmartBase frame and tighten them if loose. Ensure the frame is on a level surface.
- Instability: Verify that all frame components are correctly assembled and locked into place according to the assembly instructions.
