Something New Today......Tempur-Pedic Mattress

[rwcarpet]

Cleaning at a smoke resto job, there was a Tempur-pedic mattress that was exposed to smoke from a kitchen fire. Custy was advised NOT to wet clean the mattress by the dealer. They were advised to just sprinkle with baking soda and vac up. It was sealed in a fancy mattress cover.

Any restorers here ever deal with this type of matress, and how did you clean it??

We one in back in the fall, just HWE'd.

It was a pain to carry out and back, they are heavy but it was a packout we held for several month's.

HWE is what I have done and that has been for dealers of the product. They do take a little longer to dry but will clean up. I might be concerned about getting the smoke smell out in your case. Could be a bit tougher.

I'd HWE them using a stair tool. A liberal spraying off SmokeOff. Apply direct air. Voila!

Glided Stair tool does work well on them. Have done it.

The nice thing about fires is the soot is generally concentrated much higher, so the mattress is not as likely to be affected unless it was close to the heat. Generally you'll see it settled on the bed spread or comforter, usually not as far as the sheets or mattress cover unless it was a bad fire.

Yeah...unless the fire was directly in the same room as the mattress, it shouldn't get any real smoke damage, but insurance offered to clean all fabrics in the house. She was convinced by the dealer that water would harm it, so I didn't want to give her any ideas. This was the fully motorized version of the bed....the best of the best. Probably around $5000. It was enclosed by an expensive mattress cover.
