As with any piece or property you own, taking care of your mattress keeps it in most useful form for years. Caring begins the moment you have purchased and paid for it.

Below are some simple reminders or care tips:

Once delivered, air your mattresses out for at least for half a day. This will help remove any traces of scent from being stored too long. Your new mattress must also be aired at least once a month.

Put mattress protectors on top and change your sheets often. Avoid using plastic sheets, as this will prevent your mattress from “breathing”, believe it or not. Mattresses that do not get proper ventilation or air circulation may condense and thus have poor quality.

If you own spring mattresses, you need to turn this regularly so that it doesn’t remain compressed and dipped onto one side. If you own visco elastic mattresses, these need not be regularly turned, but rotated.

Through the years, mattresses may gradually lose its firmness but know that this is normal. What’s important is the pressure points in key areas (shoulders and hip areas) remain the same and that the mattress is still comfortable to sleep on.
