What is a Mattress Protector?

Ciao! Just like all your favorite things in life, you want to guard it with your life, so that you can always be able to enjoy it! For example, protecting your loved ones, or your phone with a case. Our beds are our sanctuary, a place where we can escape reality and take a breather, it is important that we take care of our mattresses the way it takes care of us.

A mattress protector is almost like a fitted sheet on your bed that protects you from any messy mishaps! This is an important essential to have in your bedding because it is preventative and provides extra comfort. For example, any spills, or build-up allergens that develop over time can negatively impact your mattress’s life expectancy. By using a protector, you can prevent this.

Mattress Protectors can also protect you from these listed threats:

  • Dust mites
  • Body sweat
  • Overheating of the mattress
  • Bacteria
  • Liquids
  • Bed Bugs
  • Early wearing down of the mattress

Mattress protectors are made purposely to be water-resistant while still allowing air and breathability. Here at GiNO, we make sure that you get this duo from our mattress protectors.

Our GiNO mattress protector includes:

  • Waterproof and breathability
  • Reversible cover
  • Double-sided in terry cotton for the summer and polyester for the winter
  • In addition, this kit comes with two pillow protectors as well 😊
  • Comes in three different sizes: Queen, King, and Cal King

When buying a mattress protector, you want to consider a few essential things such as:

  • Is the mattress protector waterproof?
  • Will the protector be cleanable, will it also include materials that will help take out bacteria and allergens?
  • Is the protector breathable? It is important to make sure air flow is present within your protector, that way you can have a cool sleep.
  • Lastly you should make sure the protector suits your comfort preferences!

Keep in mind, not all mattress protectors are the same, in order to make sure you are getting the right one for you, check out this list:

  • Encasement (or zippered): This mattress protector covers your entire mattress from the top to bottom. This protector is usually closed with a zipper.
  • Fitted: This type of mattress protector is very popular; it can fit your mattress the same way a fitted sheet would.
  • Elastic Strap: This protector is places on top of your mattress while elastic straps cover the four corners. This helps keep the protector attached to the mattress.

There are multiple materials included in the mattress protector:

  • Polyester
  • Down
  • Vinyl
  • Cotton
  • Polyurethane

Bene, we hope you got a better understanding of the importance of a mattress protector, to make every moment in your bed peaceful and enjoyable, make sure to continuously take care of and protect your mattress.

All About Unboxing Your New GiNO Mattress

Ciao! Congratulations on your new GiNO mattress! The most exciting part of the mattress shopping experience is the day you get to unbox and use it. Here at GiNO, we provide Mattresses in a box. With our unique packaging, we want to make sure you are all prepared on how to safely and adequately unbox your perfect new match.

Bene, I will now go into each step of the 8-minute unboxing process, so grab a nice tall glass of wine and let’s begin!

Step #1: Your box will resemble a pasta box, eccezionale, am I right?! You will remove the rolled-up mattress from the box and place it directly on your bed frame. Make sure you have everything prepared before starting these steps for the most efficient and quick process. While removing the mattress, don’t forget to see what we have left inside for you: Two eye masks, a delicious Spaghetti di Mezzanotte recipe, and a box cutter!

Fun Fact:  We chose to share with you our favorite GiNO variation of the Spaghetti di Mezzanotte recipe also known as the Midnight Spaghetti because it is the perfect midnight snack that leaves you falling asleep with ultimate satisfaction.

Step #2: Cut the straps of tape with caution and start unrolling away! Always makes sure to go gently.

Step #3: Remove the mattress from its bag and make sure it is correctly positioned. You will be able to tell if it is positioned correctly if the Italian flag is at the foot of the bed in the top right corner.

Step #4: Within minutes you will be able to sleep on your new GINO mattress.  

How soon can you sleep on GiNO after unpacking? 

The question you have been waiting to be answered! You can sleep on GiNO almost immediately after opening it. However, just keep in mind that it might take close to 24 hours for the corners to regain shape fully, but we encourage you to start enjoying a restful night’s sleep on your new mattress as soon as you get it!

Bene! You are all prepared to unbox your GiNO mattress; if you have any other questions, feel free to ask Mr. GiNO.

Buona notte e sogni d’oro from yours truly

Is a Mattress-in-a-Box Right for You?

There’s a little bit of magic in every box…could your perfect mattress possibly come in one?

Ciao! If you are wondering if a mattress-in-a-box is right for you, well as always, you came to the right place, mio amico.

The first thing you should ask yourself is, do you go to stores in person often when searching for mattresses? During times like this when COVID-19 is still present, many shoppers have moved to completely online shopping, but that is not a bad thing. In fact, online shopping can bring you unlimited options and varieties of the items you are in search of. This goes for the mattress-in-a-box market as well. Because it is online, manufacturers can be able to provide you with a variety of choices and different features that could potentially suit your exact preferences.

You must be thinking: what are the benefits of shopping for your mattress online!

Well, shopping online for your mattress-in-a-box can allow you to see more options and varieties compared to what is shown and available in stores. This is a great plus if you are living in a small city because you might find it difficult to find exactly what you are looking for when there are fewer options to choose from. Many manufacturers who sell a mattress-in-a-box pay great attention to detail and the needs and wants of their consumers when producing a mattress. For example, here at GiNO, our foams are expanded using water-based technology which creates an open-cell structure that makes it more breathable and cooler! As for firmness, the mattress-in-a-box usually falls in the medium firmness range, which allows for greater flexibility and appeals to the greatest number of consumers.

However, these are not the only features! At GiNO, we focus on spine support, breathability, weight, and pressure for good posture, cleaning benefits, and mattress protection.

There are a few common misconceptions about a mattress-in-a-box which include issues with the temperature, off-gassing, and roll packing. Many think that the memory foam tends to be hot, however, with GiNO, sleeping hotter will not be a problem for you. As mentioned before our cooling feature will assure you the right temperature balance your body needs to have a restful sleep.

Off-gassing occurs when the memory foam has a chemical or petroleum smell. Odor!! No thank you, am I right? That is why GiNO focuses on making their mattresses safe and clean without VOCs and using only certified materials without toxic chemical off-gassing. 

As for roll packing, many think it causes permanent damage to the mattress. However, mattresses in a box are designed to be highly resilient. Once the plastic wrapping is removed, the layers will expand until the bed reaches its fully intended shape. The foams, coils, and other components should fully recover in one to two days without any sort of damage.

Along with the features, believe it or not, you are actually saving more compared to if you purchased a traditional model! In fact, a lot of companies offer discounts and deals continuously throughout the year. That’s right…this magical mattress-in-a-box can help you save from what you could have been spending at the furniture store.

Fun fact: compressing the mattress into a small box actually helps reduce shipping costs and the manufacturer passes these savings on to you!

Here at GiNO, you have the ability to possibly try our mattresses out in person and still receive it in a box! We have 20 locations across the United States. This is a great way to see if the mattress would be your perfect match before making your final decision. However, if you are unable to reach our locations, not to worry! We have a live chat on our website, so you can ask and confirm any questions you might have, we also provide detailed descriptions with everything from the materials, features, to the firmness. Along with our helpful and efficient website, we also have an active social media appearance, we put up reviews and demonstrations of the unboxing on our Instagram. As for returns, we have some good news for you! If you return your mattress within our 100-day sleep trial, you can return your mattress at no cost.  

Bene! I hope this blog gave you enough clarity on what a mattress-in-a-box is, and how it can be a great potential choice for you. A good start is to read reviews and information that focuses on the cost, delivery, and returns before purchasing. Here at GiNO, we are always ready to answer any questions you might have that will help you get the most magical and comfortable experience with your mattress purchase.

As always Buona notte e sogni d’oro from yours truly 😴
