Memory Foam Mattress with an Electric Blanket (or Electric Mattress Pad) There is no safety problem such as flammability with a decent memory foam mattress or topper (as contrasted with one of the cheap egg-crate type foams). Memory Foam Durability with Added Heat There seem to be two schools of thought on using heated mattress pads with memory foam. Some people say the memory foam mattress won’t support the bodyproperly if it is extra warm. Tempur-Pedic® states on their web site that they do not recommend using electric blankets or mattress pads because the “exposureto direct heat over extended periods of time can cause damage to the TEMPUR material”. Tempur-Pedic® further suggests that if at bedtime your mattress is too cold, try turning up the bedroom thermostat for twenty to thirty minutes before going to bed. Once you are in bed, the mattress will warm up quickly in response to your body heat. If you do choose to use an electric blanket to warm your mattress before bedtime, we recommend that you turn it off after 30 minutes to avoid overexposing the TEMPUR material to high heat.
My personal opinion - not supported by rigorous objective testing Several years ago, I myself spoke to the Technical Director at another one of the memory foam mattress manufacturers and he told me there would be no problems. I tend to believe this version because I personally have slept on a memory foam mattress with heated mattress pads for about six years now and I do not notice any problems. In fact, during cold weather, my personal opinion is that the support and comfort actually work better due to the extra warmth and I didn't like the "cold brick" feel. And I definitely do not want to increase my house temperature. One of the major benefits of heated bedding is to save money and energy by heating only the bed, not the whole house. Since some memory foam manufacturers say no and some say yes, you will have to make the final decision whether to go with the heated pad on the memory foam. Sorry we couldn’t be more scientific or definitive.

We love the reaction of some of our customers when they receive one of our mattresses as they open them with child-like amazement and joy. Great things DO come in small packages! We use a special compression process that does not harm the mattress or topper in any way and allows for the box to be much smaller than the traditional big, bulky mattress boxes. The mattress will expand to its full and natural shape within a fairly short period of time.
You do not have to worry about being able to fit our mattresses up tight stairwells or hallways, or having to rent a truck to move it while still in the box. Our products are much more easily transportable than non-memory foam ones. PuraSleep mattress boxes generally measure approximately 21” x 20” x 40”.

We recommend no longer than three weeks in order to minimize any breakdown in the structure of the product.Do I need to rotate or flip my mattress/topper?For mattresses, there is a distinct top and bottom, so flipping the mattress is not required. For toppers, we recommend that you rotate and flip the topper on a monthly basis. This will help with the longevity of the topper. Be sure to lift the topper up as much as possible when moving. Avoid pulling or dragging the topper as this may cause tearing which is not covered under the warranty.Can I use a heated pad with your memory foam products?You can use a heating pad however we recommend that you do not leave the heating pad on for extended periods of time. Using a heating pad will not damage the mattress, but may have an effect on the foam that may reduce the overall benefits of the memory foam itself. Do you offer a trial period? Sorry, but we don't offer a trial period. Remember, it can take few weeks for you to become adjusted to a memory foam mattress.
Is there any latex in your mattresses? No, there is no latex material in our products.Will my new mattress have an odor? Any off gassing is almost non-existent, just possibly a harmless smell from the new foam manufacturing process which goes away within a few days with proper airing. The initial smell is normal and harmless. Our mattresses are not stored in warehouses for lengthy periods of time, in almost all instances you are receiving a brand new mattress fresh off the production line. Sometimes the process of compressing and packaging the fresh foam intensifies that fresh foam smell. do recommend leaving the mattress or topper completely uncovered during this 24-48 hour time period (i.e. do not put it under sheets or a mattress pad). This will allow any increase in fresh foam scent due to packaging to dissipate. As far as the scent is concerned, our memory foam contains NO formaldehyde or any harmful chemicals. We are CertiPUR-US Certified. Feel free to read more about this at: CertiPUR-US.
