Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home, and that includes taking care of your mattress for a healthier and more comfortable sleep environment. Here are a few tips on how to care for and maintain your mattress this Spring.
Cleaning Tips for a Fresh Start
- Vacuum Regularly: Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove dust, dirt, and allergens from the surface and crevices of your mattress.
- Spot Clean Stains: Treat stains promptly with a mild detergent or upholstery cleaner, and avoid using excessive water to prevent moisture buildup. A nontoxic cleaning spray option is equal parts of water and white vinegar. After spraying the stains, sprinkle baking powder and let sit for one hour then vacuum away.
- Air Out Your Mattress: On a sunny day, remove bedding and open windows to allow fresh air to circulate around your mattress and help eliminate odors.
- Use Mattress Protectors: Invest in a quality mattress protector to shield your mattress from spills, stains, and dust mites, and wash it regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Rotation and Flipping Tips for Even Wear
- Rotate Regularly: To promote even wear and prevent sagging, rotate your mattress from head to foot every 3-6 months, especially for single-sided mattresses.
- Flip If Applicable: If you have a double-sided mattress, consider flipping it over along with rotation to maintain proper support and longevity.
- Check for Signs of Wear: Inspect your mattress for signs of wear and tear, such as lumps, sags, or indentations, and address any issues promptly to prolong its lifespan.
Protecting Your Investment for Long-Term Comfort
- Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Refer to your mattress manufacturer's care instructions for specific guidelines on cleaning, rotating, and maintaining your mattress.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep your mattress dry and well-ventilated to prevent mold, mildew, and odors, and use moisture-absorbing materials if necessary. We offer mattress protectors to help keep moisture out of your mattress. Visit https://wichitafurniture.com/bed-sheets to shop mattress protectors.
