KingMattresses

Good mattresses should last a long time. A top of the range memory foam mattress could serve you well for up to 20 years for instance. But to get the best from the mattresses you buy during your life, there are certain things you should do to look after them. First of all you'll want to get a cover. There are many covers available, but you should look out for something that is thin and has breathable layers. That way it won't affect the feel of your mattress. But it will protect it from spills and other stain risks. If you have allergy issues, you can one which is hypo-allergenic, which will stop bacteria and dust mites from breeding where you sleep..

If your mattress is going onto a slatted base, make sure that the slats are no more than 3 inches wide or 1.5 inches apart. That will ensure your mattress gets proper ventilation, but prevents it from sagging through the slats. Unwrap your new mattress as soon as you get it. It could have a strong chemical smell when you first unpack it. So be prepared to let it air for a few days if you need to. Make sure you remove all the plastic wrapping from the mattress, which will promote rot if left in place.

To keep king mattresses clean, vacuum the mattress and the base regularly. If the mattress does get stained, clean it with mild detergent and warm (not hot) water. Don't attempt to soak the mattress. To keep your mattress in good condition as long as possible, try to avoid regularly sitting on the edge of the bed. Letting kids bounce on the mattress will shorten its lifespan. Finally, unless the care guide with the mattress says otherwise, flip and rotate mattresses a few times a year to even out wear..
