Dunlopillo Mattress Care Guide | Turning, Cleaning & 8-Year Guarantee

Last Updated: February 2026

Dunlopillo mattresses are crafted using high-quality latex and premium comfort materials. Proper care and correct base support will help maintain comfort, promote even settlement and protect your 8-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Upon Delivery

Remove all packaging carefully, avoiding sharp objects near the mattress fabric.
Allow the mattress to air for several hours before dressing the bed.
A slight natural odour may be present initially and will dissipate with ventilation.

Latex mattresses are heavy. We recommend two people when positioning or rotating your mattress.

Turning & Rotating Your Dunlopillo Mattress

Regular rotation helps promote even wear and comfort.

Turnable Mattresses

Turn and rotate weekly for the first 3 months.
Thereafter, turn and rotate every 3 months.

No-Turn Mattresses

Rotate head-to-foot weekly for the first 3 months.
Rotate every 3 months thereafter.

Important:
Do not bend or fold your mattress. Avoid lifting using handles alone, as they are designed for positioning rather than carrying.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Brush lightly with a soft brush every few months to remove dust.
Do not vacuum the mattress surface.
Blot spills immediately using a dry, absorbent cloth.
Avoid chemical cleaners or detergents, as they may damage the fabric.

We recommend using a breathable mattress protector to protect against staining and moisture.

Allow Your Mattress to Breathe

Latex and natural comfort fillings benefit from regular airing.

Turn down bedding each morning to allow moisture to evaporate.
Avoid placing plastic or non-breathable materials between mattress and base.

Base Compatibility Rules

Using the correct base is essential for support and longevity.

If using a slatted base, slats should be no more than 7.5cm apart.
If slats are wider, use a supportive platform or additional base board.
A damaged or unsuitable base may cause premature wear and invalidate your guarantee.

Adjustable Slatted Base Guidance

Some Dunlopillo bed bases include adjustable slat systems

Care Instructions - Dunlopillo

These may include:

Slat holders – secure each slat into the frame.
Slat tension adjuster fittings – allow firmness adjustment.
Fabric centre belt – provides additional stability and weight distribution.

Move tension sliders closer together to increase firmness, or further apart to soften support. Ensure both sides are adjusted evenly.

Divan Base & Usage Guidance

Check castors, feet and fittings regularly to ensure they remain secure.
Avoid overloading storage drawers.
Do not stand or jump on the mattress.
Avoid prolonged sitting on the edge of the bed.

Body Impressions – What’s Normal?

Light body impressions are a natural result of comfort materials settling under weight. This is not a manufacturing fault and does not affect support.

Regular rotation will help minimise uneven settlement.

Damage caused by misuse or unsuitable base.
