HOW TO SETUP YOUR NEW SLEEP E-Z LATEX MATTRESS

When UPS delivers your new mattress it will consist of either three or four boxes depending on the size of the mattress you ordered from Sleep E-Z. Unpacking and assembly of your new latex mattress will take approximately thirty minutes and it is suggested you read these instructions completely BEFORE you begin.

1. Transport the boxes you received to the bedroom where the mattress will be used. The fully assembled mattress will weigh about 140 pounds. Even though each component is not heavy by itself you’ll want to avoid moving the finished mattress.

2. All the boxes will be labeled with “ONE” of the following descriptions to let you know what’s inside: Cover/Soft, Cover/Medium, Cover/Firm, Cover/Extra Firm, (to show which box the cover is in) or Soft, Medium, Firm, Extra Firm (to show one of the layers). Additionally, the same description will be marked on the plastic inside each box so you will know the contents before removing the plastic.

3. Find the cylinder marked “Cover/(etc)” and carefully open it with a small cut to get it started and then safely tear it open. Each cylinder is “double-wrapped” so you will find a second black plastic wrapper inside. Open this inner wrapper the same way.

4. Remove the Cover and open and lay it on the foundation that your mattress will set on. Unzip it so you can fold back the top panel and fold down all four sides of the bottom of the cover over your foundation just like you were putting a fitted sheet on your bed. This way you have everything out of the way and can simply open and place each subsequent layer on your foundation.

5. Your latex layer will INSTANTLY EXPAND to its final size when the plastic is totally removed. You may find it easier to place the plastic cylinder ON your foundation before you open it so the expanded latex will already be somewhat in its final resting place and just need a little adjustment to set it in place.

6. Open each remaining cylinder in the order you choose based on the firmness you want at each level working from the Bottom Up. So the final layer on top will be the one you want closest to your body while sleeping.

7. As each layer is placed on the foundation you may need to slightly tweak its position so all layers are correctly aligned on top of each other to make sure they fit nicely in the cover.

8. Once all layers are in place pull the mattress cover up on all sides and pull the top layer of the mattress cover over the mattress and close the zipper so your layers are completely enclosed.

Pretty simple and now you’re done!

Our bedtime advice before you begin sleeping on your new mattress is this: Your body will generally need some time to adjust to this new feel. Please see our information on this blog about “your adjustment period” for your new mattress.

IMPORTANT: Keep the mailing boxes in tact in case you need to return a component for a different firmness during your 90 day trial.

Factory Direct Latex Mattresses – You Can Enjoy Substantial Savings If You Ask the Right Questions!

If you do a search for “factory direct” on any item you’re shopping for do the results always take you to the actual manufacturer of the product? Not hardly. Those two words are pretty straightforward and used to mean that you were dealing with the factory that made the item and as soon as it came off of their assembly line—you could purchase it directly from them. The importance of this is that purchasing your item direct from the manufacturer cut out the additional steps required to take the product to the retail market AND more importantly it cut out the price markups that go along with that all along the way. All of those additional costs were categorized as “cutting out the Middle Man”.

And so you hear the term FACTORY DIRECT a lot in the mattress industry. I’d like to discuss what really qualifies a company to say they fit that mould. Because as I stated earlier the very nature of buying direct–without adding additional profit layers at each stage of the distribution chain–implies that the consumer will experience SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS by buying direct from the manufacturer.

Mr. or Mrs. Consumer are the ones who pay for the additional profit layers when they purchase from non factory-direct sources! What does this tell you? It should tell you that if you want to enjoy the best price you should take the time to “find the factory” and make your purchase direct.

It is surprising to me, in my 35 years as a true manufacturer of innerspring mattresses and latex mattresses, that so many consumers hear or see the words factory direct used by a mattress retailer and don’t actually verify the claim. My experience in this industry has shown me that the general public has grown so used to hearing the term factory direct used in advertising that they very often fail to recognize an “actual” factory direct manufacturer–and conversely they fail to recognize a retailer who “claims” they are factory direct but doesn’t meet the factory direct criteria.

Asking lots of questions is always good. With that in mind, here are four questions to ask if you’re shopping for a new latex mattress and you want to properly identify the source you’re dealing with:

1. Do you have equipment necessary to make the mattresses?

2. Does your company have employees skilled and dedicated in mattress construction and assembly?

3. Does your company have a dedicated manufacturing facility for this product?

4. Does your company sell direct to the public via your own factory showroom or your own factory internet site?

All four of these questions require yes answers to pass the factory direct test. If any answer is a no… you’re not dealing with a factory direct manufacturer.

The ultimate goal of the consumer is to get the best product at the best price. Today’s consumers have many resources available to help them shop. I share this information to give the consumer one additional resource to help them in their quest.
