Pivot!

Some people toss and turn in their sleep, others stay in one position all night. Regardless of your sleeping pose, indentations caused by your body can make the mattress sag. Rotating your mattress will reduce the likelihood of immediate sagging.

We highly recommend rotating your mattress every 3 months, to help extend the lifespan of the filling.

Flip

Along with rotating your mattress, you can also flip double-sided mattresses. By flipping your mattress every so often throughout the year, you are evening out the natural wear and tear. While flipping and rotating will help distribute the indentations left by your body.

Mattress Cover

You can protect your mattress by investing in a mattress protector or cover. A mattress cover will add an additional layer to shield it from dirt and stains. Having a mattress cover also makes it easier to clean as you can simply remove the cover and wash it if you get it dirty.

A mattress protector will also reduce natural wear and tear on the surface of your mattress, which will increase its lifespan. Not only will it boost protection, but a mattress cover can add an additional layer of comfort to your sleep, especially if it has cushioning woven into the design. A mattress topper, for example, will add an extra layer of comfort while increasing the longevity of your bedroom mattress.

Cleaning

Cleaning a mattress might sound hard, but, as long as you have a vacuuming on hand, you can efficiently clean the surface of your mattress. You can vacuum up any dust and fine dirt, which will help increase the lifespan of your mattress.

Baking soda can be used to eliminate smells and is also easy to use. Sprinkle the baking soda on your mattress, leave it for approximately 30 minutes or longer and then vacuum the bed to remove. Make sure to keep the room ventilated, by opening windows, when cleaning.
