Proper Storage and Handling of Your Woojer MAT
To ensure the long-term performance and durability of your Woojer MAT, proper storage is essential. The device contains sensitive haptic transducers and internal components that can be damaged by improper handling.
This article outlines the correct methods for storing your MAT when not in use.
Recommended Storage Methods
The key principle for storing the Woojer MAT is to avoid stress on its internal components. The following methods are approved and recommended.
Method 1: Lying Flat (Ideal Method)
The best way to store your Woojer MAT is laid out perfectly flat.
How to do it: Place the MAT on a bed, a shelf, or under another mattress where it will not be crushed or have weight placed on top of it.
Why it's best: This method ensures zero stress on the internal transducers and wiring, preserving the device's haptic integrity and lifespan.
Method 2: Folded in Thirds (As Shipped)
If you need to save space, you may fold the MAT, but only in the way it was originally packaged.
How to do it: Gently fold the MAT into three equal sections. The folds should be smooth and broad, without any sharp creases.
Why this works: The device was designed and tested to withstand this specific folded configuration. Folding it this way distributes the stress evenly across safe points of the device.
What to Avoid When Storing Your MAT
To prevent permanent damage, please strictly avoid the following actions:
❌ Do Not Roll the MAT: Rolling the MAT creates continuous, severe stress on the internal layers dedicated to distribute the haptic energy from the transducers, which can lead to deformation and malfunction of the Woojer MAT.
❌ Do Not Fold in Half or Quarters: Creating sharp, acute folds can crimp and damage the internal components. Only the "folded in thirds" method is acceptable.
❌ Do Not Place Heavy Objects on Top: Whether stored flat or folded, do not stack heavy items on the MAT, as this can put pressure on and damage the sensitive internal parts.
Quick Reference Guide
| Recommended ✅ | To Avoid ❌ |
|---|---|
| Lying flat on a bed or shelf | Rolling it like a yoga mat |
| Folded gently into three equal sections | Folding it in half or quarters |
| Storing in a cool, dry place | Placing heavy objects on top of it |
| Storing in extreme temperatures or humid environments |
Summary
For the longevity of your Woojer MAT:
The safest method is to store it lying flat.
The correct space-saving method is to fold it gently in thirds, exactly as it arrived in its original box.
Never roll or sharply fold the device.
Following these guidelines will protect your investment and ensure your Woojer MAT continues to provide an optimal haptic experience for years to come.
