5 Tips to Extend the Life of Your Mattress

A quality mattress is an investment in better sleep and overall health. To help increase it's lifetime and retain its comfort, follow our recommended tips:

1. Use a Mattress Protector: Shield your mattress from spills, dirt, and dust mites with a mattress protector. This thin layer acts as a barrier, preventing moisture and allergens from seeping into the mattress, thus increasing its lifespan. A mattress protector could also save you the labourious task of scrubbing away at an unfortunate tea or coffee stain as one of many examples.

2. Rotate and Flip Regularly: Extend the lifespan of your mattress by rotating it every three to six months (or as recommended by the manufacturer). Some mattresses are made to be flipped by having equal levels of fillings on both sides. This evens out wear and tear, preventing sagging in specific areas. If a mattress only rotatable like a pillow top for example, this means that all the fillings and springs are directed to tone side of the mattress and these mattresses will only need rotating.

3. Solid Support: Ensure your mattress has the right support. Use bed frame or foundation that complements your mattress type. Lack of proper support can cause premature sagging and damage to the mattress. A decent divan base will spread the weight load of a mattress evenly or thick solid wooden slats will help to prevent the mattress from sagging under pressure.

4. Clean and Maintain: Regularly vacuum your mattress to remove dust, dead skin cells, and debris. Follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning and stain removal to avoid damaging the materials. Proper care prevents deterioration and keeps your mattress fresh. Each mattress is made of different materials and some will react better than others to certain cleanign methods. Please feel free get in touch if you need any advice.

5. Avoid Jumping or Sitting on the Edge: While it might seem harmless, repeatedly jumping or sitting on the edge of your mattress can strain the springs and weaken the structure. Encourage proper use to maintain its integrity.

By implementing these simple yet effective tips, you can significantly prolong the life of your mattress, ensuring continued comfort, a restful night's sleep and get the best value for money!
