How to Take Care of Your Mattress

Idea

Use removable and washable mattress covers and pillow encasements that zip all the way around, to help protect your mattress from dust, bed bugs and other allergens.

 

Routine Care

Flip mattresses

Similar to the way that the useful life of your car’s tires can be extended by rotating them, you can prolong the life of your mattress by rotating it.

Regular rotation of your mattress allows it to recuperate from the constant pressure of your body, and helps prevent creating a groove in your mattress, which can be uncomfortable to sleep on.

Timing: Every 6 months: May, November (yearly)
