A good night’s sleep starts with a comfortable, well-maintained bed. Your mattress and bed aren’t just furniture — they’re investments in your health, comfort, and quality of life. At Bedmat, we believe that taking proper care of your mattress and bed helps extend their lifespan, keeps them hygienic, and ensures you enjoy better sleep every night.
Here’s our expert guide to keeping your bed in top condition:
1. Rotate and Flip Your Mattress Regularly
Over time, your mattress naturally conforms to your body’s shape. To prevent uneven wear and sagging, rotate it 180 degrees every three to six months. If your mattress is double-sided, flip it over as well. This simple habit helps maintain firmness and even support.
2. Always Use a Mattress Protector
A waterproof and breathable mattress protector is your first line of defense against spills, sweat, and dust mites. It keeps your mattress clean, prevents stains, and makes maintenance much easier. Plus, a protector is easy to remove and wash — something your mattress can’t do!
3. Keep It Clean
Vacuum your mattress at least twice a year using the upholstery attachment. This removes dust, allergens, and tiny debris that can accumulate over time. If you spill something, clean it immediately with a mild detergent and let it dry completely before using it again.
Pro tip: sprinkle baking soda on the mattress surface for 30 minutes before vacuuming to eliminate odors.
4. Support Your Mattress with a Strong Base
Your mattress needs proper support to perform well. Check your bed base or foundation regularly for signs of wear, broken slats, or sagging. A strong, even base ensures your mattress maintains its structure and comfort — and can even help prevent back pain.
5. Let It Breathe
Every now and then, strip your bed completely and let your mattress air out for a few hours. This reduces trapped moisture and keeps it feeling fresh. If possible, open your windows for natural ventilation.
6. Avoid Jumping or Heavy Pressure
Mattresses are designed for sleeping, not trampolining! Avoid sitting on the same edge repeatedly or placing heavy objects on one spot, as this can cause dips and damage the internal structure over time.
7. Replace When It’s Time
Even with the best care, mattresses don’t last forever. On average, a good-quality mattress lasts about 7–10 years. If you’re waking up with stiffness or notice visible wear, it might be time for an upgrade.
At Bedmat, we offer high-quality mattresses and bases designed to support your body and enhance your sleep — because a better bed means a better you.
