FOUNDATION USE
Products MADE AFTER March 1, 2015
Proper Use
Use a new Beautyrest
®
or Simmons® foundation or a supportive, rigid, non-
yielding foundation. An old foundation unit may not provide sufficient support.
If used with a foundation, use a frame that provides rigid center support as well
as support for the head, foot, and sides. For any queen or king frame that does
not have a metal center support, you must use at least 5 hardwood or metal slats
(1" x 4") and add legs to the 3 center slats. By not providing a sufficient
supportive frame, damage can occur to the product that will void your warranty.
If used without a foundation (e.g. with a platform bed), add a solid platform on top
of any open slatted mattress support system in which the spaces between the
slats are greater than 2 inches (5 centimeters). Hardboard, plywood, particle
board or a similar material, inserted between the mattress and the slatted
platform, supporting the entire surface of the mattress will provide appropriate
support. Use of an open slatted mattress support system in which the spaces
between the slats are greater than 2 inches (5 centimeters), without the addition
of a solid platform, will damage your mattress and void your warranty.

For all adjustable foundations, which are covered by a separate warranty, please
see the owner’s manual for required support.
Use a protector pad on your mattress at all times to protect the condition of your
mattress and preserve your warranty rights. Simmons® reserves the right to
refuse service and void the warranty if the mattress or foundation is in an
unsanitary condition, if the mattress or foundation has evidence of damage from
liquid penetration or use of cleaning fluids, or whenever the product failure is
caused by factors other than defective workmanship or materials.
