The leak-proof moisture-resistant cover will allow you to protect the product from the ingress of liquid, because the mattress includes filler layers that lose their properties due to frequent contact with moisture. If you do not use an additional waterproof case, the mattress will have to be changed ahead of time, which is set by the manufacturer.

• When the lower two edges are dressed, turn the product over to one side. One person gradually tightens the case with not very strong, but sharp movements, and the second - straightens it to make it easier for the first to wear.
• This action must be performed several times on each side.
