It’s strongly advised NOT to compress a Tempurpedic mattress using traditional roll-and-compress methods intended for some all-foam mattresses. Here’s why, and what to do instead:
- Tempurpedic mattresses use a unique, pressure-relieving material that’s sensitive to compression. Trying to compress it could permanently damage the mattress.
- There are safe ways to handle your Tempurpedic mattress for transport or storage without forced compression.
Why Compressing a Tempurpedic Mattress Is Not Advisable
-
Temperature-Sensitive Material:
The core material in Tempurpedic mattresses is designed to soften and conform to your body based on temperature and pressure. It’s NOT meant to be forcefully compressed.
-
Damage Potential:
Excessive compression could break down the cell structure of the Tempurpedic material, affecting comfort, and support, and causing long-term sagging or deformation.
-
Warranty Concerns:
Tampering with the mattress’s construction could void your Tempurpedic warranty
Alternatives for Moving or Storing Your Tempurpedic Mattress
-
Transport as Is:
- If possible, use a larger vehicle, or roof racks (secured safely), or consider hiring movers to handle the mattress uncompressed.
-
Upright Storage:
- For temporary storage, lean the mattress vertically against a solid wall. Ensure adequate support to prevent bending or warping.
-
Protective Covering:
- Regardless of how you choose to move it, always use a mattress bag or wrap the mattress in plastic for protection during transport or storage.
Important Note
- Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always check the Tempurpedic website or their included care guides for their official recommendations on handling.
