How to Fix Sagging in Tempur-Pedic Mattress?
There are lots of ways you can fix sagging in your tempurpedic mattress.
But as I said before sagging in tempurpedic mattresses is not a common problem because tempurpedic mattresses are expensive and made with high-quality materials.
The only reason why your tempurpedic mattress can sag is that you have used the wrong foundation which gave less support to your mattress.
Way 1: Change The Foundation
This is one of the most important steps and proven ways to fix sagging in your tempurpedic mattress.
If you have used your tempurpedic mattress on a slatted base, metal bedframe, futon, or wooden bed frame then you should change the foundation of your mattress.
You can use a platform bed or any solid bed foundation for your tempurpedic mattress.
There is also a special bed foundation that is specially designed for tempurpedic mattresses which you can purchase from its official site.
But before doing or changing the mattress foundation you should check whether the foundation is the problem or the mattress itself has a problem.
This means, before changing and purchasing a new bed foundation.
Put your mattress on the floor and check whether your mattress still sags or not.
Because now if your mattress does not sag then you can change your mattress foundation but if your mattress is already sagging then you have to do one more step which is next.
Way 2: Return Your Mattress
If the sagging in your mattress still appears when you put your mattress on the floor too then you should return your mattress if your mattress is under in warranty period.
So if the sagging mattress persists on the floor then you should apply for a return and claim your refund.
But the one condition they can ask is your mattress should have sagging over 1 inch.
And your mattress should be under warranty period.
So if your mattress sags more than one inch and if there is a warranty period remaining then return your mattress and get your refund.
If your mattress is not under warranty period or you are not eligible for returning a tempurpedic mattress then follow the next way.
Way 3: Add Mattress Topper
If you tried everything to fix your sagging mattress then don’t worry this method can make sagging disappear in no time.
But make sure you place your tempurpedic mattress on the right foundation before using this trick.
Yes, you heard it right. Adding a mattress topper not only makes sagging disappear but can create a new comfortable layer on your mattress.
You can use a foam mattress topper with a medium-firm feel because if your mattress is sagging more than an inch then you can choose the thickness of your mattress topper.
But make sure you are using a medium-firm mattress topper because too firm or too soft a mattress topper can hurt your back.
