Sleepers spend on average 8 hours a night in their bed, making them a natural breeding ground for some pretty nasty things! Most people (hopefully) change their bedding regularly to eliminate smells etc, but can often overlook the mattress. The good news is that all items from the current collection include a removable mattress cover that can be washed at either 40 or 60 degrees. Clear manufacturer’s instructions to assist in the cleaning of your mattress are provided on the stitched label. For those covers that can’t be washed in this way, the complementary Tempur-fit mattress protector helps protect them from spills and other unpleasantness. As Tempur material itself cannot be washed, sponged or dry cleaned, a good mattress protector is crucial to prolonging its lifespan.
