A good quality mattress is a significant investment for most people, and it’s essential to ensure that it stays in good shape for as long as possible. As a retailer of mattresses, it’s your responsibility to help your customers understand how to care for their new bed. In this blog post, we’ll provide a guide to mattress care 101 to help your customers keep their beds in top shape.
Use a Mattress Protector
The first step in mattress care is to use a mattress protector. A mattress protector acts as a barrier between the mattress and any spills or stains. It can also help protect the mattress from dust mites and other allergens. Be sure to recommend a high-quality mattress protector that is waterproof and breathable.
Rotate the Mattress Regularly
To ensure even wear-and-tear, it’s important to rotate the mattress regularly. This will help prevent sagging and extend the lifespan of the mattress. Be sure to recommend that your customers rotate their mattress every three to six months.
Don’t Jump on the Bed
Jumping on the bed may be fun for kids, but it’s not good for the mattress. Jumping can cause the springs to wear out prematurely, leading to sagging and a shorter lifespan for the mattress. Be sure to remind your customers not to jump on the bed.
Vacuum the Mattress
Over time, dust mites, dead skin cells, and other allergens can build up in the mattress. To help keep the mattress clean and fresh, recommend that your customers vacuum their mattress regularly. This will help remove any allergens and keep the mattress in good condition.
Don’t Bend the Mattress (does not apply to an adjustable mattress)
When moving the mattress, be sure to avoid bending it. Bending the mattress can damage the springs and cause the mattress to lose its shape. Instead, recommend that your customers use a mattress carrier or ask for assistance when moving the mattress.
In conclusion, caring for a mattress requires a little bit of effort, but it’s well worth it to ensure that the mattress stays in good shape for as long as possible. By recommending the use of a mattress protector, regular rotation, avoiding jumping on the bed, regular vacuuming, and avoiding bending the mattress, you can help your customers keep their beds in top shape for years to come.
