In this article, we are going to go over some of our top tips on how you can increase the longevity of your “sleep home”. From cleaning to mattress rotating, there are many things that you can do to keep your mattress looking fresh-off-the-line new.

Let’s dive in.

How to Keep Your Mattress Looking Like New

A lot of people have owned a mattress for decades, but have no idea how to care for it. Although no two mattresses are made alike, we wanted to give you some general mattress care tips to protect arguably one of your most prized possessions.

1. Rotate Your Mattress

As a rule of thumb, it is always best to refer to the mattress manufacturer’s recommendations to know when you should rotate your mattress. But, if you cannot find that information, no worries! We have you covered.

Here is a rotation breakdown based on mattress type:

Because most mattresses are built to sleep on only one side, we do not recommend flipping your mattress. Instead, you can simply rotate the mattress around to protect your mattress from weight-related damage and mattress sag. Rotating your mattress from time to time will ensure that your bed stays comfortable for many nights of sleep.

2. Deal with Stains (or Other Accidents) Immediately

We have all been there. Whether you accidentally spilled a sugary drink on your mattress or your puppy had an accident, it’s always best to deal with life’s accidents—as soon as they happen.

If you are currently undergoing a mattress accident, we always suggest using the blotting method. This will help lift up the stain from the bed and leave your mattress looking as good as before.

3. Routinely Clean Your Mattress

Every six months, your mattress needs a good cleaning—and to air out!

To do this, you should:

1. Sprinkle baking soda over the entire mattress
2. Let the baking soda sit for at least 30 min.
3. Vacuum up the baking soda
4. Allow your mattress time to air out
5. Sanitize your bed frame and headboard with wipes or other cleaning supplies
6. Add clean bedding back to your mattress

By cleaning your mattress bi-annually, you can rest easy knowing that your sleep area is clean and deodorized.

4. Use a Mattress Protector

A mattress protector is one of the most overlooked sleep products, but it is essential in order to keep your mattress protected and to extend the life of your investment.

This sheet-like waterproof cover goes over the top of the mattress and protects it from stains, spills, dust mites, bed bugs, and any other dangers that might be lurking around in your home. In addition to this, a quality mattress protector will also shield you from dust, allergens, and harmful chemicals.
