Finding your perfect mattress will make a big difference to sleep quality, overnight comfort, and even spinal alignment. The right mattress will look after you – but you have to look after it, too.
Vacuuming the mattress helps to remove dust and mites, while some have machine-washable covers to keep them fresh. If an accident were to happen resulting in a spillage or stain on your mattress, all is not lost. Mild soap with cold water, or upholstery cleaner, should be your first call. Make sure you apply water sparingly, so as not to soak the mattress through. And avoid using chemicals, as they can seriously damage the mattress, not to mention your skin if you then lie on top of it.
If you need to move your mattress, it’s best not to bend it, as this can damage the materials inside.
Mattress toppers are another great idea for getting more from your bed. Not only do they provide you with an extra layer of comfort, but they also preserve the quality of the mattress.
