3. Package Contents
Your ZINUS 12 Inch Green Tea Essential Memory Foam Mattress package includes:
- 1 x ZINUS 12 Inch Green Tea Essential Memory Foam Mattress (compressed and rolled in a box)
4. Setup Instructions
Your ZINUS mattress is conveniently shipped in a compact box. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Prepare the Area: Place the boxed mattress in the room where it will be used. Ensure you have enough clear space to unroll the mattress.
- Position the Box: Carefully open the outer box.
- Remove from Box: Take the rolled and compressed mattress out of the box.
- Unroll on Bed Frame: Place the rolled mattress onto your bed frame or foundation. Ensure the bed frame provides adequate support for a foam mattress (e.g., a platform bed or a slatted base with slats no more than 3 inches apart). If using a traditional box spring, a bunkie board may be required for optimal support.
- Cut Plastic Packaging: Carefully cut and remove the outer plastic wrapping. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the mattress fabric. The mattress will begin to decompress immediately.
- Allow to Expand: Allow 24 to 72 hours for the mattress to fully expand to its original shape and firmness. During this time, the mattress may have a slight, harmless odor, which will dissipate.
