A mattress is not something you buy without thinking about it first. It's a major life decision. After all, you're going to be spending a third of your life on it for the next 8+ years. Getting it right is important.
So taking care of it is tantamount to good sleep and enjoying your day – cause everyone knows a bad night of sleep makes for a bad day.
So here's how you can make sure your investment lasts and pays off:
First, use a supportive bed box or bed frame. It's something most don't think about, but keeping your mattress off the floor and properly supported can make sure your mattress maintains even wear and helps air flow around your mattress to keep it fresh.
Use these other tips to take care of your Milton Mattress, extend its life by years, and get better sleep!
1. Rotate Your Mattress
Taking care of a mattress includes knowing when to rotate it. It’s normal for a mattress to develop slight indentations in the areas you usually lie on. To evenly break in the sleep surface and avoid having one part of the bed grow softer than the rest, we recommend regularly rotating the mattress from head to foot, every 6 months.
That's quite a long time though! So doing it in the spring and fall are highly recommended as they're easier to remember.
2. Wash Your Sheets and Bedding
Think about it: the dirt and oils which accumulate on your bedding can gradually seep into your mattress.
Not to mention it also attracts dust mites and other allergens, which may disrupt your sleep if you have allergies.
Washing your sheets, pillow cases and bedding once a week can help protect your mattress from premature damage and odors. If your pets sleep in bed with you, or they spend a lot of time on your bed, you should consider washing them more often.
3. Bring on the Breeze
Nothing is better than a spring breeze for clearing out a bedroom that's been closed up all winter. It'll freshen up your bedroom and your mattress.
4. Vacuum Your Mattress
You might not notice any crumbs, detritus, or lint, but it's a good idea to quickly run a vacuum over your mattress occasionally. (It's easiest to remember if you do it every time you change your sheets!).
5. Get a Mattress Protector
It's right there in the name: get a mattress protector. They can help prevent spills, dust mites, odors, and help lessen any bumps and divots your mattress might get.
These simple tips can go a long way in helping you sleep better and keeping your mattress in tiptop shape.
