We spend about one third of our lives sleeping, so a supportive, well taken care of mattress is important to achieving your best night of rest. Your mattress is an investment and you can make it last with these pro tips!
1. Do your pets love snuggling in bed with you? They’re so cute and cuddly! Rather than having your pets directly on your mattress, try a raised pet bed. They’ll still be close and you’ll keep your mattress clean -- it’s a win, win!
2. Rotate your mattress. Over time, your mattress conforms to where you lay each night -- to avoid sleeping on a lumpy mattress, try rotating your mattress every 3-4 months or more depending on your needs. If it’s a new mattress, rotate it once a month for the first 6 months.
3. Keep your mattress protected from moisture and stains with a mattress protector. This is important in extending the life and cleanliness of your mattress.
4. Check your mattress providers cleaning instructions on best practices for caring for your investment.
5. Moisture in your mattress can be a breeding ground for mold. To avoid this, open the curtains in your room every here-and-again to allow for sunshine to come through and keep your mattress dry and aired out.
6. Add stability to your mattress by using a foundation. Colder’s has a variety of foundations, adjustable bases, and frames to support your needs.
7. Clean your mattress -- yes, you read that right. We know you clean your sheets, but cleaning your mattress is often a neglected task. First, vacuum your mattress to rid your bed of dust and debris that build up within the fibers. Next, sprinkle baking soda over top of your mattress. Let this soak for approximately 30-60 minutes. Then, vacuum the remaining baking soda off the mattress, and voila! Your mattress will smell good as new.
8. Wash all bedding regularly. In need of a new bedroom set? You’re in luck! Colder’s has your mattress necessities.
9. No more monkeys jumping on the bed! Avoid jumping or allowing little-ones to jump on the mattress. Although this is fun, it reduces the life of your mattress.
10. Last, but not least, handle your mattress with care. If you need to move your bed, avoid bending it and use a protective covering to avoid tears and dust collection.
