Preparing to Unbox Your Purple Mattress
Before you start the process of opening your Purple mattress, it’s important to ensure you’re fully prepared. Purple mattresses are known for their unique grid structure which provides excellent support and comfort, but setting it up can be quite different from traditional mattresses. To open a Purple mattress, you’ll need to carefully cut through the packing materials and allow it to expand. Using a pair of scissors or a box cutter carefully can make this simple task even easier.
Find the Right Space
Firstly, choose the correct space where you plan to set up your Purple mattress. Ideally, you should place the mattress either directly on the bed frame or in the room where it will be used. Clear the area of any obstructions and make sure there’s enough room to move around. Opening the mattress in the wrong space can be a hassle, as Purple mattresses can be relatively heavy and unwieldy once they start to decompress.
Gather Necessary Tools
The next step involves gathering all the tools you will need for the unboxing. Typically, you might need:
– Scissors or a box cutter: This will help you cut through any packing material.
– A friend or family member: Although unboxing a Purple mattress is not overly complicated, having an extra set of hands to assist with moving or positioning the mattress can be incredibly helpful.
Transporting the Mattress
After ensuring you have a suitable space and all necessary tools, the next step is moving the mattress to this location. Purple mattresses are delivered compressed and rolled up in a protective bag inside a box. If the mattress is still in the box, you might need a hand truck or at least two people to carry it, as the boxed mattress can weigh anywhere from 50 to 168 pounds, depending on the size you ordered.
Unboxing the Purple Mattress
Now let’s walk through the steps to open your Purple mattress properly. The first step is to carefully remove the mattress from its box. It’s easiest if you lay the box on its side and pull the mattress out. Ensure you’re not cutting the mattress during this process.
Remove the Plastic Wrappings
Once you’ve got the mattress out of the box, you’ll notice it is wrapped in thick plastic. The next step is to carefully cut this plastic packaging. Avoid using sharp objects too forcefully since you don’t want to risk damaging the mattress itself. If using a box cutter, gently slide it along the edge of the plastic covering, making sure not to dig too deep.
Unfolding and Unrolling the Mattress
After removing the outer plastic, you will see the mattress start to expand slightly. There’s usually another layer of plastic that keeps it rolled up. Start by unrolling the mattress on your bed frame or floor. During this process, be gentle as the mattress can be heavy.
As you unroll the mattress, you will see it begin to decompress. Cutting the final layer of plastic will allow the mattress to expand fully. Give it enough time to expand properly—most mattresses will start to take their full shape within 24 to 48 hours.
Allow Mattress to Fully Expand
The last stage involves some patience. Once the mattress is in its desired location and the plastic wrapping is removed, you need to allow it to fully expand. The material used within Purple mattresses, especially their unique Hyper-Elastic Polymerâ„¢ Grid, requires specific time to regain its original form after being compressed.
Within a few hours, you should start to see the mattress settling into its full shape. To ensure the best sleep experience, it’s recommended to wait at least 24 hours before using the mattress. This waiting period allows the material to fully decompress and the mattress to air out.
Caring for Your Purple Mattress
Now that your Purple mattress is set up, proper care will help maintain its longevity. While Purple mattresses are durable and designed to last, simple practices can make sure they provide optimal comfort for years.
Use a protective mattress cover to keep it clean from spills and dust. Rotate the mattress every six months to ensure even wear. However, unlike traditional mattresses, Purple mattresses should not be flipped, as they are designed with a specific top and bottom layer structure.
Finishing Thoughts
Unboxing and setting up a Purple mattress is a simple yet essential task to ensure you get the best out of your purchase. From choosing the ideal space, gathering the necessary tools, to carefully cutting through the packaging, every step leads to a well-prepared mattress that provides unmatched comfort and support. Remember, patience during the expansion period will yield the best results. Enjoy the comfort and innovative design of your new Purple mattress for many nights of restful sleep.
