This manual provides essential information for setting up, using, maintaining, and troubleshooting your new mattress to ensure a comfortable and supportive sleep experience.

Setup Instructions
Unboxing and Initial Expansion
- Preparation: Ensure you have enough space in your bedroom for the mattress to expand. Remove any sharp objects from the area.
- Unpack the Box: Carefully open the shipping box. Do not use a sharp knife directly on the mattress packaging to avoid damage.
- Place on Bed Frame: Remove the rolled, compressed mattress from the box and place it on your bed frame or foundation.
- Cut Outer Plastic: Carefully cut and remove the outer plastic layer. The mattress will begin to unroll.
- Remove Inner Plastic: Once unrolled, carefully cut and remove the inner vacuum-sealed plastic. The mattress will immediately begin to expand.
- Allow to Expand: Allow the mattress to expand for 48 to 72 hours to reach its full size and firmness. During this time, it is normal for a new mattress odor to dissipate.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your BedStory mattress.
- Rotation: Rotate your mattress 180 degrees every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and prolong its lifespan. This mattress is designed to be used on one side and does not require flipping.
- Cleaning Spills: Spot clean any spills immediately using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Blot the area gently; do not saturate the mattress. Allow to air dry completely.
- Protection: Use a mattress protector to guard against spills, stains, and allergens.
- Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in your bedroom to prevent moisture buildup.
- Support: Place your mattress on a sturdy, flat foundation, slatted bed frame (with slats no more than 3 inches apart), or box spring to ensure proper support.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| New mattress odor | "Off-gassing" from new foam materials. | This is normal and harmless. Allow the mattress to air out in a well-ventilated room for 48-72 hours. The odor will dissipate. |
| Mattress not fully expanded | Insufficient time for expansion after unboxing. | Allow up to 72 hours for the mattress to fully expand. Cooler temperatures can slow expansion. |
| Discomfort during initial use | Your body adjusting to a new mattress. | It can take a few weeks for your body to adjust to a new mattress. Continue using it for at least 30 nights. |
