Let's jump in.
According to Tempurpedic, it's tricky, but how hard can it be to unzip a mattress cover? Well, if you have a new Tempurpedic mattress, it is straightforward, but with older mattresses, there is a common complaint: how do you find the zip? So, let's assume the worst has happened, and you spilled a cup of coffee in bed. First, you will need to mop up the excess liquid pronto.
Then you will need to find the elusive zipper!
It's not something you should be concerned about, but some tips will help you through the process. Assuming the mattress is relatively new.
Remove the bedding and have a clear space around the mattress. The zipper will have a material toggle attached to the zipper, it is not hard to find and may be in a corner or at the right-hand base of the mattress.
Once you have the zipper toggle, simply unzip the mattress cover, and the base of the cover will remain in place. It's the top section that you will be removing.
Once you have completed unzipping the mattress cover, you will need to pull down on the zipper toggle to break the zipper connections, just as you would with any other zipper, but this time apply force towards the floor.
Remove the mattress cover.
Place the mattress cover in the washing machine with regular detergent and wash on a 60℉ wash cycle.
Tumble dry the mattress cover.
Once the mattress cover is perfectly dry, run the zipper around to the starting point or the place the zipper was detached from the mattress. This will likely be the bottom right corner of the mattress cover.
Stretch the mattress cover over the mattress, ensuring there are no bulges or wrinkles. This step is critical to zipping the cover back seamlessly.

Voila, the mattress cover is reconnected to the bed, and you have a clean mattress cover.
Some of you say it's hard to find the zip. If you find the zip track that runs around the mattress and floor it until you find the zipper, it is the same process as above. If your zipper does not have a toggle, you can improvise to make your life easier. Thread a cable tie through the zipper hole and use this to pull the zip. There may be no need to tie it on as the locking mechanism is chunky. Replacing the cover is just the opposite of removing it.
