Cleaning Your Mattress We ve covered your sleep system with high quality Belgian damask fabric for lasting wear and beauty. We know, however, there will be times when there may be mishaps or spills. For these times, your sleep system can be cleaned two ways. For small areas, use a sponge with mild, soapy, warm water. Try not to overwet the mattress cover. Remove solution with a clean, damp, soft cloth. ** Note: Do not use solvents or commercial cleaners on mattress fabric. Step Nine: Zip the pillow top and the center ticking together. Next, simply zip your top on and adjust bed to desired firmness using your Comfort Controllers. Now you re ready for a good night s sleep!
