Well, it is that time of year again. As the kids go back to school, people everywhere are following their six-month schedule of flipping their mattress. Many people flip or rotate their mattresses when they spring clean in April then again in September. But what else are you doing to take care of your mattress? Proper mattress care is essential to keeping your mattress in the best shape for the years to come. Let’s take a look at some tips for mattress care.
Rotate Your Mattress (Like You Didn’t Know)
Rotating or flipping is mattress is mattress care 101. But do you know for sure how often you are supposed to flip or rotate it? For a new mattress with only one “right side up”, you are supposed to rotate it every two weeks for the first four months, then every three months after that. During these rotations, you are also supposed to rotate your box spring every six months.
No Monkeying Around
It may seem like fun to jump up and down on the bed. But this past time is dangerous to both you and your mattress as well. Jumping up and down on the bed can damage the coils and the fibers of your mattress.
Spread the Love
People are creatures of habit. You may have your favorite seat on the couch, but sitting in the same spots on the bed could cause your mattress to wear unevenly. Instead of sitting on your bed as you get ready, sit in a chair so that spot on the best doesn’t lose its structure.
Cleaning Your Mattress
Most people think about using a mattress protector to keep stains off their mattress, but many people do not think about cleaning it. When you change your bed, make sure to sweep it to keep dust from becoming ground in. Vacuuming your mattress will also help to keep dirt and air from soaking into the mattress fibers.
With proper mattress care, your mattress can last up to 10 years. For more information on caring for your mattress, consult your mattress warranty information or talk to your favorite sales representative at All American Mattress today!
