Mattress Care and Maintenance Manual…A Lost Art

​Mattress Care & Maintenance Manual 


How to care for your new mattress is a lost art.
There’s no question about it…If you take care of your mattress properly, 
it will take longer to wear, retaining its initial comfort much longer.
How well you care for your mattress is a factor in lengthening the time it takes before you have to replace it…saving you money.

1. Protect it from moisture.

Using a Waterproof Mattress Protector is essential for preventing moisture from seeping into the upholstery layers.
The major source of moisture comes from perspiration.
Keeping your upholstery materials clean and dry will help prevent them from compressing prematurely and from retaining your body’s odors.


There are many mattress protectors on the market.
Here’s a link to the one we use at home.

1. Rotate/Flip it on a regular basis.

“Most of your weight is at one end of the mattress.”
“Sleeping partners are often different weights.”


These are the main reasons why your mattress will wear unevenly and become uncomfortable much too quickly,  if you do not rotate/flip your mattress on a regular basis from the time it’s new.


One sided mattresses are rotated.
Two sided mattresses are flipped.


All of this is nothing new. 
This procedure has always been the industry standard.


Once a month for the first year, once every three months thereafter.


Special notes:
Two sided mattresses should be flipped, side to side and head to foot on a rotating bases for maximum results.


King size mattresses often develop a “hump up the middle”.
Since most people sleep farther apart on a king size mattress, the center remains like new while each side compresses under your weights. The hump up the middle is, “the nature of the beast“.
Adding to this particular problem, is the foundation, which is usually reinforced up the center of the bed.
There is a solution that will reduce the effects.


This trick only works for a standard king size mattress.
A standard king is almost square…close enough that this works.
Rotate your king size mattress 1/4 turn.
