INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
How do I know if these will fit under my fitted sheet or
mattress pad?
The
bumpers stay in place best when placed directly on top of the
mattress and all other bedding goes over top. Deep pocket fitted
sheets work best with the Bed Bug Bumper by providing more slack to
accommodate the bumper. Fitted sheet clips are available at
bedding stores and will help to hold your fitted sheet in place. In
most cases, your current sheet will work properly without any
additional adjustments. Place the bumper at least 7 cm in from the
edge of the mattress or more than 7 cm if you have tight fitting
sheets. If your bedding is extremely tight and currently does not go
around the bottom corner of your mattress, then you may need to
purchase a fitted sheet with deeper pockets or use a sheet clip. The
more Bed Bug Bumpers you use in the bed, the more slack you will
need from your fitted sheet or mattress pad.
Can I purchase a cover for the Bed Bug Bumper?
One
of the best features of the Bed Bug Bumper is that it stays in place
due to the surface "grab" of the foam. Placing a
cover over the foam may cause some movement or slipping to occur.
Since you are already "covering" the foam with your fitted
sheet or mattress pad, there is really no need to cover it again.
My child is a wild sleeper, will this keep him in bed?
The
bumper is effective for wild or active sleepers. Several
customers have mentioned that their restless children sleep more
soundly with the Bed Bug Bumpers. There are a small number of
children that could not be contained with the bumper. If
you are dissatisfied for any reason, just return within 30 days and
we will issue a full refund.
Can I use the Bed Bug Bumper in a toddler/junior bed?
Yes.
For Toddler/Junior Beds that use crib mattresses and sheets, a
better quality crib sheet will allow enough room for the Bed Bug
Bumper to go under. When
using the bumper on a vinyl covered mattress, apply a sticky back
felt sheet to the mattress to stabilize the bumper. These are
available from the
accessories
page.. The
Bed Bug Bumper is not for use in a crib unless it has been converted
for a toddler.
How can I cut the Bed Bug Bumper to a different size?
An
electric knife will cleanly slice through polyurethane foam. Save
the cut-off piece in case you ever need the full size again. The cut
pieces can be placed side by side and work as well as they did
before they were cut.
Is there a longer length available?
You
may add a length in increments of 53 or 70 cm. These extra pieces
should be placed in a straight line together with the original
bumper.
How do these work in traveling?
They
are very lightweight - about 12 ounces (200 grams) each for the 53
cm bumper. When possible, avoid repeated extreme compression of foam
such as vacuum packing. After travel, store uncompressed and away
from sunlight.
Why does the foam contain fire retardant?
The
foam grades meet the requirements of S.I No. 316 of 1995, the
Industrial and Research and Standards (Fire Safety) domestic
Furniture Order, 1995 issued by the Irish Department of Enterprise
& Employment and the requirements of U.K S.I 1988 No. 1324
Consumer Protection The Furniture and Furnishing (Fire) Safety
Regulations, 1988 AMD 1989.
Does the foam require special care?
The
foam can be cleaned with an adhesive lint roller or damp soapy
cloth. Do not let children play with the Bed Bug Bumpers since the
foam is not covered, it can be damaged or a small child could bite
off a piece of foam and potentially swallow it. When not in use
store the foam uncompressed and away from direct sunlight which can
cause drying and discoloration of the foam.
