Sleep is
important to your health and your overall well-being, and in order to get a
good night’s sleep you need to have a comfortable and supportive mattress. When
you invest in a quality mattress, it can last as long as 8-10 years,
assuming you treat it with care. Here are a couple of helpful tips to ensure
that your mattress remains in tip-top shape for years to come.
Air Out Your Mattress Regularly
Humidity can
attract dust mites and allergens, so it’s a good idea to air out your mattress
on a regular basis. When you air out your mattress, you should remove all bedding
and allow your mattress to breathe. If possible, open up your windows and
expose your mattress to sunlight, which will help rid your mattress of moisture
and bacteria. Airing out your mattress on a weekly basis will prevent allergen
buildup and help keep your mattress dry and fresh.
Rotate Your Mattress
Rotating your
mattress a few times a year can significantly lengthen its lifespan. When you
rotate your mattress, it will evenly distribute the pressure your body places
on it, which will help to prevent sagging and body indentations. Mattress rotation
can be done to both innerspring and memory foam mattress, and you should aim to
do it at least once every three months.
No Roughhousing
As fun as it
may be, jumping on a mattress can cause considerable damage. Putting an extreme
amount of pressure on a mattress can cause it to become misshapen and it may
even cause permanent damage to the interior mattress springs. Roughhousing can
even ruin your box spring or mattress base! Just remember, mattresses were made
for sleeping, so it’s best to keep it that way.
