Maintenance and Care

• A new mattress including a foam mattress should be put on a firm base, never on a saggy base.
• Most manufacturers of box spring mattresses suggest that the consumer should regularly rotate and flip the mattress and box spring. Otherwise, even the most expensive mattress will fail. Most manufacturers recommend to rotate the mattress (180 degrees, so the head of the bed becomes the foot) every three months and to turn the mattress at least twice a year. Some manufacturers recommend to alternately turn and flip the mattress once every two weeks for the first three months and then twice per year after that. The foam mattress foundation should also be turned every 12 months. All mattresses need to be rotated to reduce wear patterns that develop over time. It must be noted that since around 2000, several manufacturers started producing one-sided models that cannot be flipped and in some cases should not be turned either.
• Do not wet a foam mattress or any mattress. An impermeable mattress protector can be used to keep it clean.
• Use a vacuum cleaner for regular cleaning. Vacuuming is the only recommended way to clean a mattress.
• Use a good quality washable mattress pad to keep the mattress free from stains. If stained, use mild soap with cold water and rub lightly. Do not soak a mattress or foundation.
• The mattress should not be lifted or carried using the handles, which are only for positioning it.
• The foam mattress or any mattress should not be folded or bent.
• It is not good to habitually sit on the same spot of the mattress edge.
