MATTRESS CARE
The cover of your SLEEP NUMBER
®
mattress may be spot cleaned
with carbonated water. Do not dry clean the mattress cover or
put it in a washing machine. Also, please do not apply stain guard,
as it may cause yellowing of the fabric.
Select Comfort is a leader in the industry in the use of materials
designed to inhibit the growth of allergens or microorganisms
that, in rare circumstances, can form inside any mattress, bedding,
pillow or upholstered product.
Advanced antimicrobial safeguards are incorporated into every
Sleep Number
®
bed. Key components of the mattress have been
treated to protect the bed from contaminants such as mold,
mildew and bacteria growth. The unique, zip-open design of
the Sleep Number
®
bed allows you to easily open, ventilate
or vacuum if you choose.
In rare instances under the right conditions, mold or mildew can
form inside many types of mattresses, bedding or upholstered
products. Should this condition occur in your mattress, please
contact our customer service department so we can work with
you to return your bed to factory-fresh condition.
