Tempur - planning for delivery

A few simple steps to ensure your new Tempur mattress arrives safe and sound.

Taking delivery of a new mattress can seem like a military operation sometimes; however, it need not be a stressful traumatic experience. To make sure your new Tempur mattress gets to where it's meant to go with the minimum of fuss bear the following in mind:

• Time off; most delivery services will only tell you the day that your mattress will be delivered; often you can specify a more exact time but this will cost extra. To avoid complications and give yourself time to arrange the room for delivery, as well as re-arranging the room once your mattress is in place, it is advisable to make sure your schedule is clear.

• Move furniture; to avoid damaging household items and furnishing it is a good idea to move them from the path of the mattress before it arrives.

• Remove the old mattress; It can save time during delivery if your old mattress is already out of the bedroom. Another important thing to be aware of is disposal of the unwanted mattress; many firms such as the Classic Bed Company will remove and dispose of your old mattress for a nominal fee; however, if this is not the case alternate arrangements will have to be made.

• Get some help in; especially important if you live alone; mattresses and furnishings are often cumbersome and heavy and you should not attempt to move them if you feel uncomfortable doing so. The delivery people may assist you with this, but it is important to clarify if they will or not beforehand; if not employ some help from friends and family.

• Get clarification; Don't take any steps in the delivery process for granted, if you are unsure about any aspect it is always advisable to call and clarify with the company you are making your Tempur purchase from.
