Caring for your mattress​

​

1. Rotate Regularly

  • How Often: Rotate your mattress every 3 to 6 months.

  • Why: This helps to ensure even wear and prevent sagging or unevenness, especially for innerspring mattresses.

 
2. Use a Mattress Protector

  • Purpose: A mattress protector guards against spills, stains, and allergens.

  • Tip: Choose a protector that is breathable and easy to wash.

 
3. Clean Stains Immediately

  • How: Blot stains with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and water, but avoid soaking the mattress.

  • Note: Always refer to the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.

 
4. Vacuum Regularly

  • Frequency: Vacuum the mattress surface every few months.

  • Benefit: This removes dust, dirt, and allergens that can accumulate over time.

​
5. Check for Sagging or Damage

  • When: Inspect your mattress regularly for signs of sagging or damage.

  • Action: If you notice any issues, address them promptly to avoid worsening the problem.

 
6. Avoid Jumping on the Bed

  • Reason: Excessive force can damage the internal structure of the mattress.

  • Suggestion: Encourage gentle use to maintain the mattress's integrity.

 
7. Ensure Proper Support

  • Foundation: Use a suitable bed frame or foundation that provides adequate support for your mattress type.

  • Impact: Proper support helps to maintain the mattress’s shape and prevents premature wear.

 
8. Allow for Airflow

  • How: Regularly lift the mattress to allow air circulation underneath.

  • Benefit: This helps to prevent mold and mildew growth.

 
9. Follow Manufacturer’s Care Instructions

  • Details: Always adhere to the care guidelines provided by the mattress manufacturer.

  • Why: These guidelines are tailored to the specific materials and construction of your mattress.

 
10. Keep the Mattress Dry

  • Tip: Avoid exposing the mattress to excess moisture. If the mattress gets wet, dry it thoroughly before using it again.

  • Precaution: Excessive moisture can lead to mold growth and unpleasant odors.

  • ​

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your mattress remains in good condition and continues to provide you with a restful night's sleep for years to come.

Caring for your sleep​

​

  • Wake up at the same time every morning.

​

  • Exercise regularly and be sure to complete your workout a few hours before bedtime. 

​

  • Eat right and be sure to avoid large meals 2-3 hours before bedtime. If you get hungry, have a light snack instead.

​

  • Avoid taking naps during the day, especially if you’re having trouble sleeping at night.

​

  • Avoid caffeine too close to bedtime as it tends to keep you awake.

​

  • Avoid alcohol and nicotine, which lead to poor, disruptive sleep.

​

  • Keep computers, televisions, phones and other work-related materials out of your bedroom. 

​

  • Engage in a relaxing bedtime ritual to help you fall asleep. This might include aromatherapy, listening to music, meditation or soaking in a hot bath.

​

  • Go to sleep when you feel tired. If possible, go to sleep at the same time every night.

​

  • Make sure your mattress set and pillows are comfortable and supportive.

​

  • Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet and at a comfortable temperature. 

​

  • If you can’t fall asleep, get out of bed, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy.

​

  • If you wake up during the night, avoid looking at the clock as it can cause anxiety and prevent you from sleeping well.

​

  • If you still have trouble sleeping, try keeping a sleep diary. 

​

  • If you have further concerns, consult a doctor for advice.
