Helpful Mattress Maintenance Tips

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.
