Precautions
-
Keep furniture away from heating and air conditioning sources to prevent loss of moisture.
-
Heat, cold, moisture and sharp objects can damage wood furniture. We recommend always protecting your furniture by using felt backing, coaster, or placements under these items.
-
Wood naturally expands and contract with seasonal humidity changes, which may result in warping or creaking. Try to maintain consistent humidity levels to limit these effects.
-
Daily exposure to sunlight will change the color of natural wood over time. Occasionally rotate the items on your cabinet to maintain a consistent color throughout its surface.
-
Do not place newspapers or magazines on woods surfaces. The ink from these items may bleed into the finish and could damage the wood.
-
When writing, place something thicker underneath your paper, such as a book or magazine. Wood is soft, so your handwriting can travel through the paper and onto your tabletop.

Mattress Care
-
To help keep your mattress clean, a thin mattress protector can be used as long as it still allows airflow and heat dissipation.
-
Don’t use dry cleaning fluid of any type on your mattress. These chemicals could damage some of the comfort and upholstery materials.
-
Vacuuming is the recommended regular cleaning method. If you must clean a stain, use mild soap with cold water and apply lightly, allowing the mattress time to fully air dry.
-
If you need to, certain mattress covers can be removed and washed in cold water and line-dried.
-
Do not jump on the mattress or cabinet bed, as doing so can break down the inner construction and materials.
