The hygiene and renovation of the mattress is essential to enjoy a good rest and have a restful sleep. Here are some tips on mattress care to ensure proper maintenance of the mattress. 1. One aspect to take into account to achieve a perfect hygiene of our mattress is the degree of ventilation to which it is exposed during its useful life. ASOCAMA (Spanish Bed Association) recommends ventilating the mattress daily at least 5-10 minutes before making the bed. If not properly ventilated, mold stains may appear on the mattress due to excess humidity, low room temperature or lack of air circulation. This type of damage is not covered by mattress warranties. 2. It is also recommended that the mattress surface be cleaned at least once a month with a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust mites and dirt particles that may have accumulated during use. 3. On the other hand, it is not advisable to dry clean the mattress or soak the upholstery of the rest equipment. Similarly, it is not good to make use of baking soda and other chemicals, as they can damage the surface of the mattress and even penetrate its inner layers. If you are one of those who hit the mattress to release dust and accumulated dead cells, you should know that it is not recommended because it could damage the mattress. In those mattresses that have 2 sides, it is necessary to turn them over at least 4 times a year, from left to right and from head to toe. The daily position that we adopt when we sleep every day, makes the mattress wear more in those areas, therefore the turning minimizes the impact. 5. For a correct maintenance of the mattress, it is convenient to place on it a 100% breathable cotton cover with four adjustment points. For mattresses with removable covers, in addition to following this advice, you should also take into account the rules written by the manufacturer regarding the washing of the cover. For hygiene and safety reasons, it is recommended not to eat, drink or smoke on the mattress. In addition, if we allow pets to climb on the bed, they can release hair, saliva, etc., which can damage the sleeping equipment.

7. Under no circumstances should a mattress be folded or creased, except in the case of mattresses that are not mattresses that are manufactured and designed to be articulated, the mattress can be irreversibly damaged. 8. It is not advisable to place sharp or heavy objects on the mattress or base, as these could damage the mattress and affect our rest. A mattress is designed to rest, avoid jumping on it. Boards should never be used between the mattress and the bed base, otherwise the life of the mattress may be reduced and even invalidate the terms of warranty. It is recommended to change the mattress every 10 years. After this period of time its firmness and hygiene conditions decrease. At the time we want to change the mattress, we must see the type and characteristics the base or slatted bed base, because if they are not in perfect condition will not achieve a satisfactory result. ⠀⠀⠀ From Naturalia & Poligón we hope that thanks to these tips you can carry out a better maintenance of your mattress 😉
