Setup
Follow these steps to properly set up your new VATNESTRÖM mattress:
- Unpack the Mattress: Carefully remove the mattress from its packaging. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Placement: Place the mattress on a suitable bed frame or foundation. Ensure the surface is flat and provides adequate support for the mattress size (160 x 200 cm).
- Expansion: Allow the mattress to fully expand. While it may be ready for use shortly after unpacking, it can take up to 72 hours for the mattress to fully decompress and reach its intended firmness and shape.
- Ventilation: It is normal for new mattresses to have a slight odor. Ventilate the room by opening windows for a few hours after unpacking to dissipate any initial smell.

Operating (Features and Use)
The VATNESTRÖM mattress is engineered with several features to enhance your sleep experience:
- Pocket Springs: Individually wrapped pocket springs work independently to provide precise support, adapting to your body's movements and contours.
- 5 Comfort Zones: Designed with 5 distinct comfort zones, the mattress offers targeted support and pressure relief for areas like your shoulders and hips.
- Natural Materials: Layers of natural latex, coconut fiber, cotton, and wool contribute to a comfortable and evenly tempered sleeping environment. The textiles closest to your skin are 100% sustainably sourced cotton.
- Reinforced Edge: The mattress features a reinforced edge, allowing you to sit comfortably on the side without the mattress losing its firmness or shape.
- Ventilation: The bottom layer, made of natural coconut fibers, promotes air circulation within the mattress, ensuring good ventilation and sleeping comfort.
- Single-Sided Use: This mattress is designed for single-sided use, meaning it does not need to be flipped.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your mattress:
- Rotation: While the mattress is designed for single-sided use, rotating it head-to-foot every 3-6 months can help distribute wear evenly and prolong its lifespan.
- Cleaning: Spot clean any spills immediately with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the mattress. Do not machine wash or dry clean the mattress.
- Protection: Use a mattress protector to shield against spills, stains, and allergens, keeping your mattress clean and hygienic.
- Ventilation: Regularly air out your mattress by removing bedding for a few hours, especially if you live in a humid environment.
- Handles: The handles on the side of the mattress are for positioning only. Do not use them to lift or carry the mattress, as this may damage them.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your VATNESTRÖM mattress, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| New Mattress Odor | "Off-gassing" from new materials. | Ventilate the room well for a few days. The odor will dissipate over time. |
| Mattress feels too firm/soft | Mattress not fully expanded; personal preference. | Allow up to 72 hours for full expansion. Mattress firmness is extra firm as designed. Ensure your bed base provides adequate support. |
| Slight indentations | Normal body impressions. | This is normal and indicates the mattress conforming to your body. Rotate the mattress head-to-foot periodically. |
If problems persist, please refer to the warranty information or contact IKEA customer support.
