How do I open my new memory foam mattress?

Once you have opened the box, place the mattress on top of the bed it is intended for and removes the packaging. We advise you not to use a Stanley knife to open the packaging but use scissors. This will make sure you do not pierce the packaging and the mattress! The Visco cloud mattress will then start to reform to its original size. This can take just a few minutes but we would recommend that you do not sleep on it for at least 6 hours. In some cases, the mattress can take up to 12 hours to fully form.

Yes, all of our products comply with the UK fire regulations. Those less expensive mattresses you can see in the marketplace will not meet those laws, particularly the ones imported from overseas. Unfortunately these days there are lots of companies importing memory foam from the Far East and China. This memory foam is very low high quality and actually would not supply the same qualities as UK manufactured products.

We have selected a high quality, removable and washable cover for our Visco mattress and pillow. This is made with Coolmax yarn and solves the problem of heat build-up by wicking away moisture which allows your body to regulate temperature. All of this helps with a more comfortable and deeper nights sleep! A CoolMax Mattress and pillow offers a cleaner, healthier sleep environment thanks to its hypo-allergenic and anti-microbial properties. Our CoolMax® cover is easy to remove and can be machine-washed up to 40 degrees.

Yes, however, we would not recommend washing it on a regular basis just once or twice a year will keep it in tip top condition (max wash at 40 degrees). As most memory mattresses are highly compacted these days for logistic purposes we do not guarantee the zip cover. In some cases, the zip can be damaged when vacuum packed and is not covered under the warranty. You can just use soapy water/detergent to help the removal of stains.
