How to Flip Your Mattress

Your new Shifman mattress has two sides for added comfort, support, and durability. It is recommended that you flip your mattress on a regular basis to increase its comfort and equalize its wear over time. Turn your mattress once a month for the first six months and twice a year thereafter. Flip side-to-side the first time, then head-to-foot the next time. Continue to alternate flips in order to use all four sleeping surfaces.

Flip 1 – Side to Side

Flip 2 – Head to Foot

Flip 3 – Side to Side

Flip 4 – Head to Foot

Support

For queen and larger size bedding, a heavy-duty metal frame with a rigid center support and leg(s) is required. Wood or metal beds must have at least five rigid cross supports with center leg(s) for proper support. Failure to use proper frame or support will void the warranty.

  • Body impressions in a new mattress are normal and indicate that the upholstery layers are conforming to your body’s contours. These are not structural defects.
  • A quilted protector pad is recommended on your mattress to avoid stains and damage to the cover, which is not covered under this warranty.
  • Do not remove the white cloth law label at the end of the mattress or boxspring. This label serves as a means of identification to establish warranty rights. Removal of label will void the warranty.
  • Handles are provided for positioning your mattress only. They may pull out if used to support the full weight of the mattress when carrying or turning.
  • Never bend or fold your mattress, as this will damage the innerspring unit beyond repair**. This warranty will not cover damage caused in this manner. A king mattress is hinged to bend head-to-foot for delivery purposes.
  • Do not put a board between your mattress and boxspring, as this will cause your mattress to wear out more quickly. Doing so will void the warranty.
  • Mattress sets are filled with all new materials including natural cotton. It is not unusual for a mattress to have a new smell. It needs to air out. Opening a window or using the air conditioner will help it air out more quickly.
