Foam spray adhesive repairs damages in memory foam. Memory foam is prone to wear over time, especially when subjected to daily use, such as on a pillow or mattress topper. Sometimes, this foam may even tear. In some cases, such as when the torn portions still pair up without any missing material, the damage can be repaired with an adhesive. Not all adhesives will work with this type of foam; some may even cause it to dissolve or disintegrate, causing even more damage. Use a spray adhesive specifically designed for memory foam to ensure success. Cover the work area with newspaper. Place the torn memory foam atop the paper with the damaged area facing up, nearest to you. Aligning the foam in this fashion makes the adhesive-application process easier. Carefully open and close the tear to determine the extent of the damage. Place wax paper on the foam around the tear, if you like, to help prevent adhesive from getting onto undamaged areas -- the wax paper is optional. Spray adhesives can be messy, causing surfaces to get sticky.
Pull one side of the tear away from the other to create a gap large enough to apply spray adhesive. Enlist a friend's help if this makes it easier for you to spray the foam. Spray inside the tear with adhesive, covering both sides of the tear within the foam; be sure some of the adhesive reaches near the edges to create a lasting bond. Allow adhesive to dry for 10 to 15 seconds, then press the foam sides together, closing the tear. Hold in place for 20 or 30 seconds.

This product has a 1 year limited warranty from the date of purchase against defects in workmanship and/or materials. If there is a defect in workmanship or material, please contact one of our care representatives at 1-800-267-1739. Within the duration of the warranty (1 year) , for the warranty to be valid, you must (a) be the original purchaser (b) provide the original law tags and bill of sale (including date of purchase) (c) have purchased the mattress at one of our authorized retailers (visit our product pages to see list of retailers by product). If there is a defect in workmanship or material, your Signature Sleep mattress will be repaired or replaced. If identical materials are not available at the time of replacement or repair, Signature Sleep reserves the right to substitute materials of equal or greater quality. Please note: The warranty is valid from the date of your original purchase; it will NOT be renewed or extended when you receive a replacement or repair.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. How long will it take for my Signature Sleep mattress to fully recover after unpacking?You may sleep on your new Signature sleep mattress as soon as it's unpacked. However, depending on the temperature and length of time it has been packed, you should allow up to 48 hours for the mattress to expand to its proper shape and size. My Signature Sleep mattress has a slight odor, is it normal?Yes, this is very normal since the mattress has been wrapped in a plastic bag. Let your mattress breathe, by removing the plastic bag and waiting a few days before putting the sheets on. This odor is harmless and may take up to 7 days for the odor to fully dissipate. How do I clean my Signature Sleep mattress?Your mattress can be spot washed using a damp cloth and water.
The use of washing detergent and a washing machine is not recommended as it may void the warranty. Does my new Signature Sleep mattress require a mattress pad?We recommend using a mattress pad, in order to prolong your mattress life and to protect and keep your bedding clean. Stains, soiling, fluid penetration or other signs of abuse may void the warranty. Can I put my Signature Sleep mattress on my current foundation?Signature Sleep mattresses have been designed to be used with any quality foundation or platform bed, providing it has the proper support. Using an improper bed frame or foundation may void the warranty and make the mattress ineligible for repair or replacement. My Signature Sleep mattress is wrinkled, why? Your new Signature Sleep mattress fabric may be wrinkled in particular areas. This is completely normal due to the compression packaging process and will smooth out over time and use. When memory foam rips and requires gluing, be careful not to use just any old glue you have lying around the house.
The same advice applies when you are making something out of memory foam or using it in a project. This material is ideal for use in mattresses or in other projects due to the comfort it provides. Be sure to use a spray foam adhesive for such a job. It can be found at most hardware stores, as well as from various online retailers. Once you have the appropriate materials, the first step is to lay down old newspapers to protect the surface you are using. Prepare the pieces of memory foam on top of the newspaper and make sure that they are lined up and ready to be pressed together. Lightly mist the ends of the foam being glued with the spray foam adhesive. Allow the pieces to sit for about 15-seconds. Once the ends are sticky enough, make sure that they are even and exactly how you want them. Firmly press them together. Follow the drying instructions on the adhesive and you're all finished. We strive for perfection in every facet of your sleep-filled nights. That said, on the off chance your mattress isn't to your requirements, we ask that you register your mattress online or with the warranty card that came with your bed.
Warranty for mattresses purchased since 2008 Congratulations, you've purchased one of the finest sleep systems available. Sealy guarantees the replacement or repair of your mattress or foundation ("box spring", "rigid foundation", or "bunkie board") if, in normal use, either piece fails to meet our high standards for quality and workmanship. Be aware that body indentations are a normal occurrence in new mattresses, and indicate the upholstery layers are conforming to your body's contours. Please read the Limited Warranty guidelines and limitations, and then register your sleep set online. You may access additional information on proper sleep set care through our website. NOTE: Law tag MUST be retained for warranty coverage. Please keep your sales receipt and Limited Warranty Certificate in a safe place. Does This Sleep Set Meet Federal Fire Retardancy Standards?This product does meet Federal Fire Retardancy Standards. However, the sleep set's flame resistance may be seriously impaired, if any of the following occurs: a non-matching mattress and foundation are used together (per law tag), the outer cover of the mattress or foundation is damaged, torn or punctured, mattress handles are torn from the side of the mattress from abuse, general misuse or abuse of the set, treatment with an unapproved stain repellent or similar post purchase application.
Your sleep set is open-flame resistant, not fireproof, so it is important to keep open flames or any incendiary or high heat generating devices (such as halogen lamps, candles, space heaters, frayed electrical cords, etc.) away from your sleep set and out of the reach of children. DO NOT SMOKE IN BED. A mattress can ignite and/or burn if exposed to open flame or fire. When ignited, some bedding materials can burn rapidly and emit smoke and hazardous gases. Exclusive Remedy/Other Limitations of WarrantyANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ON THIS PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SHALLNOTEXCEED IN DURATION THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, WHICH BEGINS WITH THE DATE OF PURCHASE BY THE CONSUMER. THE TERMS IN THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE THE CONSUMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF PRODUCT FAILURE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT OR THE INABILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT, OR FOR THE BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY.
This warranty is valid only in the 50 United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, and gives you specific legal rights that may differ or vary from state to state. How Long Is The Limited Warranty?Coverage begins on date of purchase and follows the "Warranty Schedule" found on this card. If Sealy repairs or replaces your sleep set, the Limited Warranty continues from the original date of purchase. Taking Care of Your Sleep Set Carry your mattress flat on its side, this makes it easier to handle and prevents damage. Keep your mattress sanitary by using a mattress pad, especially if children use the bed. Things to Avoid: Do NOT bend, stand on, jump on, use dry cleaning chemicals on, or allow any liquids on your mattress. Avoid placing a board between your mattress and foundation. Do NOT destroy the law tag label as it MUST be retained for warranty coverage. Warranty ScheduleTo determine your warranty terms locate the mattress law tag and find the "Warranty" field shown on sample law tag below.
Copy the Warranty Code and 12 digit Serial Number into the spaces provided below. The number left of the slash mark is the period for repair or replacement at no charge (except you are responsible for transportation and inspection costs), and the number right of the slash mark is the total warranty period. To calculate the fee for repair or replacement after the 'no charge' period use this simple formula: (Retail Price) X (Number of Years Owned) Divided by the number right of the slash mark. If the product purchased is discontinued, Sealy has sole discretion to determine the retail price of a comparable model that will be used to determine the charge for repair or replacement. Your purchase date is established from the date of your sales receipt. What Is Covered By The Limited Warranty?The Limited Warranty is only valid for the original purchaser of the mattress and foundation set, and only covers manufacturing defects in a mattress or foundation when the set is subject to proper handling and normal use in conjunction with a bed frame that provides Continuous Support.
To provide Continuous Support, a Queen or King frame must have 1) a rigid bridge bar with a supporting leg and 2) at least 5 legs, or 5 equally spaced hardwood cross-slats (see examples below). Replacement of one piece in the set DOES NOT guarantee replacement of the other piece in the set. Zip-off mattress covers are warranted for the first 2 years from A) manufacturing defects and workmanship flaws of the zipper and seams B) tearing of fabric under normal use. Examples of Proper Bed Frames for Queen and King Size Bedding. What Is NOT COVERED By The Limited Warranty?The Limited Warranty EXCLUDES: claims made outside the 50 United States or Puerto Rico, mattress fabric, comfort preference, bed height, spills, burns, bent or broken border/grid wires, mattress or foundation damage due to abuse or abnormal use, damage due to use with inappropriate foundation, used bedding, bedding sold "As Is", floor models, damage due to bed frames that DO NOT provide Continuous Support, and cost associated with transportation, inspection or removal of products.
Also, normal body indentations or sagging (not associated with sag in foundation) of less than 1½" for Latex or Innerspring mattresses, or less than 3/4" for Memory Foam mattresses, IS NOT COVERED. If it is determined that an indentation is caused by misuse, abuse or factors other than a product defect, this warranty will not cover that condition. Any product found to be in an Unreasonably Unsanitary Condition, meaning the product is so pervasively soiled that 1) an inspector is unable to conduct an appropriate inspection of the condition of the product without being exposed to potentially dangerous bodily fluids, blood borne pathogens, or other substances that could cause significant injury or 2) otherwise suggest that the product has been subjected to misuse well beyond ordinary wear and tear, IS NOT COVERED under this warranty.
