5. What's a Topper and how do I use one?
Dorelan's special toppers are designed to alter or correct the firmness of a mattress.
But Toppers also have benefits beyond controlling the ergonomics of your bed system, protecting and extending the service life of a mattress in terms of hygiene and normal wear and tear.
Generally speaking, a topper has the same features as the quilting and ticking of a mattress, since it is made of the same things: fabric, quilting that sometimes includes polyurethane foam, and non-woven fabric.
Appropriate maintenance information is provided on the product itself, including washing instructions.

7. What are the features of Dorelan bed bases?
Dorelan bed bases feature practical advanced construction solutions and are built for strength and a long service life. What's more they're highly functional, optimally meeting the stresses to which the mattress is subjected using laminated beech slats which are both extremely resilient and hold their shape.
Our bed bases are made of beech, long considered the most hard-wearing wood. The slats in particular are made of laminate to provide the best balance of resilience and flexibility to support the mattress.
The distance between the bed base slats has been optimised to enable the mattress to breathe as it needs.
The purpose of the slats is to cushion some of the sleeper's weight, which the mattress transfers to the bed base. The convex shape of the slats plays an important role in creating resistance in those areas where the weight of a body lying on the mattress is concentrated, such as the hips.
Double bed bases feature a longitudinal central support beam with centre leg to stabilise the structure and offer optimal load bearing without centre sag.
8. What are the features of the SLEEP BED BASE F?
The Sleep Bed Base F is made of beech laminate, fully respecting the most rigorous consumer health standards and only ever using water-based varnishes in its construction. The bed base slats are varnished and polished without any harmful additives or chemical colourants. Beech wood is the perfect choice due its strength and resilience.
9. How do the stiffness adjusters on the bed base slats work?
The stiffness adjusters on the bed base slats slide so their performance can be tailored to the sleeper's needs and preferences. If you want softer support in the lumbar region, simply slide them in towards the centre of the bed base. Whereas if you want firmer support, on the other hand, simply slide the adjusters outwards.
10. What are the Mattress Covers made of and how should I wash them?
The Sleep Mattress Cover is made of a breathable stretch fabric called Fibersan which features an anti-dust mite treatment with essential oils of lemon, lavender and eucalyptus.
All Dorelan mattress covers are machine washable and clear maintenance instructions, including washing instructions, are provided on the product label.
Please see the mattress cover product page for further information.
11. What are the bed base covers made of and how should I wash them?
Dorelan Bed Base Covers are made of anti-dust fabric with special non-slip inserts that are designed to be placed in contact with the bed base to enhance mattress stability. A bed base cover also contributes to the overall hygiene of your bed system.
All Dorelan bed base covers are machine washable and clear maintenance instructions, including washing instructions, are provided on the product. Please see the Bed Base Cover product page for further information.

13. What is a “Bed System”?
We call all the elements that come together to make your bed a "Bed System": the mattress, pillows, bed (or mattress support + bed base + headboard) and all the accessories (bed base cover, mattress cover and pillow covers). The "Dorelan Bed System" has been designed to achieve a perfect functional balance between its components to offer high sleep quality for better quality of life.
14. What are “Comfort Zones”?
The independent pocket spring mattresses in the Dorelan collections feature a special internal structure which gives different areas of the mattress (such as the neck area, shoulder area, hip area and leg area) firmer or softer support to suit the area of the body concerned. This technology gives every area of the body the most appropriate support so that the mattress delivers perfectly ergonomic comfort.
15. What does 7-zone comfort mean?
It means there are 7 Comfort Zones for outstanding ergonomic performance that gives the body firmer or softer support where it's needed.
16. What is Myform?
Myform is a high-technology polyurethane foam designed by Dorelan. Comfortable, ergonomic and breathable thanks to its innovative molecular structure, it moulds perfectly to the body's contours, providing support that tailors itself to every physique and a soft welcoming feel.
17. Do Dorelan products have hypo-allergenic and anti-dust mite properties?
Dorelan's Fibersan fabric benefits from a natural anti-dust mite treatment based on essential oils of Lemon, Lavender and Eucalyptus.
Fibersan also complies with the Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
18. How long does it take to "get used to" a new mattress?
When you change your mattress after years of use, it's entirely normal to go through an "adaptation" period, especially if you've changed the entire bed system, including the bed base! After a month of physiological adaptation to the new system (a period that varies depending on how big the change is, such as for example switching from a traditional spring mattress to an innovative Myform product or vice versa), we undoubtedly start appreciating the benefits of the new product for our sleep.
19. Do Dorelan mattresses need maintenance?
Yes, the Dorelan mattresses need mainteinance, defined under the Dorelan guarantee, downlodable on the site on the Guarantee page.
20. Should I turn my mattresses?
Yes, Dorelan mattresses need to be turned periodically, according to the indications in the Dorelan Guarantee, on the Guarantee page. In the first 4 months after purchase, you should turn the mattress (head to foot) as frequently as possible so that the resilient material from which the product is made settles evenly. After four months have passed from the date of purchase you can reduce this to twice per year. Turn the mattress over (top to bottom) at every change of season.
21. Can I use a Dorelan mattress with any kind of support or does it need a special bed base?
Dorelan has designed its mattresses to be used in a slat bed base system, which enhances their performance. Metal mesh bed bases are very definitely not recommended since they will damage the mattress and have a negative impact on sleep quality.
Adjustable bed bases, whether manual or electric, are also advised against since our springing does not provide the flexibility required by the movement of an adjustable base (raising the head and/or raising the foot).
22. Are Dorelan mattresses suitable for children?
Absolutely! Dorelan mattresses are ergonomic and provide appropriate spinal support for children and adults alike.
23. Can Dorelan Pillows be used with any type of mattress?
All Dorelan products offer the same high quality. Which type of pillow you prefer is a matter of personal choice.
