What to Do if Your Mattress Has a Manufacturing Defect or Doesn’t Expand Properly

A new Malouf Home mattress should fully expand within a few hours of unboxing, providing optimal comfort and support. However, manufacturing defects or slow expansion can occasionally occur. This article will guide you through troubleshooting steps and tell you what to do if your mattress isn’t expanding as expected or displays signs of a defect.

Check Expansion Environment

Temperature and space matter. Place your mattress in a well-ventilated, comfortably warm room. Cold environments can slow expansion. Lay the mattress flat with no bedding while it expands, ensuring airflow around all sides. Allow up to 48 hours for proper decompression and shape recovery before use.

Encourage the Mattress to Expand

• Gently walk or pat across the surface to break up compressed areas.
• Use it overnight; body heat and pressure can speed up the process.
• Rotate the mattress to help expansion reach all areas evenly.

Identify Possible Defects

After a week, look for signs such as uneven corners, large dips, or sections that remain flat. Ensure the issue isn’t caused by an unsuitable foundation. Document the problem with clear photos and locate the mattress law tag, which will be required for warranty assessment.
