STEP 1: Bed Expander Platform

  • Take your college provided mattress off of the bed.
  • Pull your bed away from the wall.
  • *Ensure the distance between the bed frame and the ground does not exceed 3ft. 
  • Place the platform onto your college provided bed frame, with the SOMNIA+ label facing up.  
  • The platform connectors should sit roughly flush to the outside of the college bed frame.

STEP 2: Velcro Straps

  • Beginning on the non-wall side of the bed, tightly wrap the velcro straps around the college provided bed frame and the bed expander platform to secure them in place.
  • The 10 velcro straps should be placed on all of the platform connectors- five on each side of the platform, in the middle of each connector.

    STEP 3: Foam Mattress Blocks

    • Place the college provided mattress onto the bed.
    • Carefully open the vacuum-sealed plastic bags containing the 2 foam mattress blocks.
    • Place the blocks on a flat surface near your bed and give them some time to expand.
    • Lift the blocks onto the bed and position them next to your mattress, on the wall side.
    • *If the blocks are not even with your mattress, unzip the covers and remove one or both of the 1in foam layers. (6in, 7in, and 8in options)

    STEP 4: Mattress Topper

    • Carefully open the vacuum-sealed plastic bag containing the topper.
    • Gently unroll the topper on a flat surface near your bed and give it some time to expand.
    • Lift the topper and position it evenly on top of your bed, with the four corner straps securely in place over the bed expander platform.

    STEP 5: Mattress Protector

    • Place the fitted waterproof mattress protector over the college provided mattress, foam mattress blocks, mattress topper, and platform.

    STEP 6: Fitted & Top Sheet

    • Place the fitted sheet over the mattress with the elastic edges snugly around the platform.
    • Lay the top sheet evenly over the fitted sheet.

    STEP 7: Storage Bags

    • Hang onto the 3 storage bags for easy transport and storage during move-out at the end of the year.
