How to Keep Your Mattress Warranty Intact
A good mattress is an investment in your comfort and well-being, and protecting its warranty is essential to ensure it lasts as long as possible. One common mistake that can void your mattress warranty is using an electric blanket. Here’s why and what you can do to keep your mattress in top condition.
The Problem with Electric Blankets:
Using an electric blanket might seem like a cosy solution for cold nights, but it can harm your mattress. Here’s why:
Prolonged heat on the mattress makes the foam brittle. Over time, this causes the foam inside the mattress to turn to powder. The springs then start to protrude, making the mattress extremely hard and eventually causing it to break.
This damage makes your mattress uncomfortable and voids your warranty, leaving you without coverage for repairs or replacements.
Tips to Protect Your Mattress and Warranty:
- Use a Waterproof Mattress Protector:
A waterproof mattress protector acts as a barrier against spills, stains, and moisture, all of which can damage the mattress and void the warranty. It also helps maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of your mattress. - Layer with Fleece Blankets:
Instead of an electric blanket, use fleece blankets. Fleece is an excellent insulator, providing warmth without the risk of overheating your mattress. - Opt for a Quality Winter Duvet:
Pair your fleece blankets with a high-quality winter duvet. This combination will keep you warm and cosy during the colder months without exposing your mattress to potentially damaging heat.
By following these steps, you can enjoy a comfortable and warm sleep environment while ensuring that your mattress remains in good condition and its warranty stays intact. Remember, taking a few preventative measures now can save you a lot of trouble (and money) in the long run.
