Do you know how to properly care for your mattress?
Although we sleep on one every night, mattresses are still something people wonder about. So we thought we would take a moment to answer some of our favorite questions about this little mystery of life. So read on to find out the answers to all of your mattress questions.
What is a Mattress Made of?
Mattresses may seem like a simple padding for us to sleep on, but they are actually a complex engineered sleep system that includes different components like springs, foam, and air. Every mattress needs a foundation or box spring in order for it to give the sleeper the proper support and ensure the mattress is comfortable. Each type of mattress comes with certain features that make it comfortable. Innerspring mattresses are comprised of coil springs made of tempered steel and different qualities of foam padding. Foam mattresses have either an open or closed cell structure. Open cell foams have absorbing properties and cushioning. Closed cell foams have a lower absorption rate but offer higher levels of support than open cells.
How Often Should I Replace My Mattress
While every mattress is different, the general rule is to replace your mattress every five to seven years. Although your mattress may not show signs of wear and tear, your body changes roughly every to five to seven years so you may need more support than your mattress can provide. A new bed can fit you better as your life changes and can improve your sleep drastically.
How Often Should You Turn or Rotate Your Mattress?
Some new mattresses should be rotated every week for the first few months while others do not have to be rotated right away. If your mattress does not have to be rotated right away, rotate it every six months or as according to the manufacturer’s warranty guidelines.
What is a No-Flip Mattress?
Today, most new mattresses are “no-flip” mattress but this does not mean you won’t have to rotate it. Turn the mattress every six months by turning it so the foot is at the top.
