The Ultimate Mattress Care Tips

Did you know that we spend one-third of our lives in our beds? With that number in mind, think about your mattress. Your mattress is the centerpiece to a good night’s sleep and caring for it will ultimately allow for it to function properly and provide you with the sleep you need. In general, your mattress will last around 10 years – that’s 3,650 nights! Wow that is a lot of wear and tear. Fortunately, if you give it proper care, you can lengthen its life. On the other hand, not caring for your mattress will affect the comfort and support of the mattress and any damage is most often not covered by the warranty.

Here are our top tips on how to care for your mattress:

1. Rotate Your Mattress
Mattresses will wear and sag over time. To minimize normal wear, manufacturers recommend that you rotate the mattress as often as needed. Also, you want to avoid sleeping on the same spot every night as this can wear the mattress unevenly, reducing its support.




2. Tip 3: Consider a Box Spring
A good foundation will ensure that your mattress will provide lasting durability and proper support. Purchase either a conventional box spring or an adjustable foundation to go with your new mattress.
