Tips for Caring for Your Mattress

Mattress Protector
Invest in a high-quality mattress protector to protect your bed from leaks, stains, and dust mites. Such a cover can significantly extend the life of your mattress by preventing moisture from penetrating the surface.

Change sides
To ensure even wear, rotate and flip your mattress regularly.
At first, it's a good idea to make a change every week; then, after the first few months, reduce the frequency to once every 3–6 months.

If you have purchased a mattress that, by design, does not need to be rotated, we recommend adding a mattress topper so that you can apply the techniques described above to it.

Cleaning
Vacuum your mattress periodically to remove dust, allergens, and debris. If a stain occurs, clean it immediately with warm water or a mild detergent and cold water, avoiding excessive moisture. For stubborn stains, add baking soda to the water. Immediately afterward, let the mattress air dry naturally.

Of course, it’s best to follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer and ask which cleaning products are safe to use, depending on the materials the mattress is made of.

Ventilation
Let your mattress breathe by removing the bedding and opening the windows from time to time. This helps reduce odors and prevents moisture from building up inside the mattress. However, don’t forget to air out your bedroom daily for at least 10 minutes, and to air out your bedding periodically to prevent the buildup of germs.

In addition, here is some more basic information you should know to prevent damage to your mattress:

• Limit or even prohibit standing and jumping on the bed.
• Make sure your mattress is properly supported on a suitable base.
• Don't eat in bed to avoid stains. However, if you do eat in bed, it's a good idea to change your sheets more often—twice a week.
