How do you extend the life of your mattress?
Mattresses are investments, and like any investments you need to protect them so that they last long-term. Here are simple and easy ways:
- Avoid dumping used towels and other wet items on the mattress.
- Have a mattress pad. It prevents staining and other dangers to your mattress (like someone jabbing a pencil on to it, perhaps).
- As in the case above, mattress covers are therefore essential to a child’s bed.
- Stained mattress? Have them cleaned right away, don’t allow the stain to settle.
- Vacuum your mattress regularly.
- Relish in the spring sunshine. Air your mattress out regularly, too.
- Flip your futons every other week.
- Don’t allow kids to jump on the bed.
