Adjusting Firmness at Home
Customers can adjust the firmness of their mattress at home by following these steps:
-
Unzip the mattress cover to access the internal layers.
All Cloud, Aurora, and Cooper mattresses come with a zippered cover that is completely removable. This feature allows customers to easily access the internal components of the mattress for adjustments and maintenance. Unzip the cover and carefully remove it to expose the internal foam layers and springs.
-
Remove the top foam layers to access the springs.
Once the cover is removed, take off the top foam layers, typically composed of latex or polyfoam, to reveal the spring units beneath. Handle the foam layers with care to avoid damage.
-
Flip or swap the springs to change between the different firmness levels within a range.
The springs in the mattress are designed to be flipped or swapped to adjust the firmness. For example, if you are currently using a Cloud 6 (medium firmness) and wish to adjust it to Cloud 7 or Cloud 5, you can rearrange the springs accordingly. This involves flipping the springs to change the tension or swapping them with springs of a different gauge provided in the mattress kit.
-
Reassemble the mattress by putting the layers back in order and zipping the cover closed.
After adjusting the springs, replace the foam layers in their original order and ensure they are properly aligned. Finally, zip up the mattress cover securely to complete the process.
