With seven to ten years of use, you must care for your double mattress. After all, a sagging or worn mattress could lead to poor sleep quality and quantity. Don’t worry; we’ve compiled a list of handy tips to ensure your mattress remains pristine for longer.
A mattress protector is a small price for a healthy and supportive mattress. A double bed mattress protector is placed on the mattress underneath the bed sheet and provides a protective layer to combat accidents, spillages, and body moisture, such as sweat.
Even better, when you purchase a mattress and mattress protector bundle from Mattressman, you’ll qualify for our 60-night sleep trial. Explore our range and choose from a bamboo, memory foam or waterproof double mattress protector, among other options.
Disclaimer: Rotation only applies to your double-sided mattress. Every three months or so, rotate and flip your mattress. This ensures you’re distributing your weight across the entire mattress and utilising both sides, too. As mentioned, the only exception to this is, of course, a single-sided mattress, whereby all of the comfort and support are engineered towards a single side.
Preparing to rotate the double mattress
Where possible, avoid perching on the edge of your bed, as this could increase the likelihood of dips in your mattress.
At the risk of being a spoilsport, jumping on your bed is never a good idea. Sure, we’ve all probably done this at one point or another, but you run the risk of damaging your mattress.
Baking soda is a handy tool to have at your disposal! A gentle sprinkling across your mattress helps absorb moisture, keeping it clean and fresh.
Navigating your double mattress from room to room or up or down staircases could prove slightly problematic, so take extra precautions when you’re moving your bed. Knocking your mattress into the wall or banister, for example, could result in minor damage. It may be worthwhile playing it extra safe and wrapping your mattress in a protective bag.
As tempting as it is, we advise against letting your pet sleep on your bed. After all, your furry four-legged friend may be carrying germs or bacteria.
