The secret of not collapsing for 10 years: 3 golden rules of scientific mattress maintenance taught by professionals

A good mattress is expensive, and everyone wants it to last for a long time and maintain comfortable support at all times. However, improper use and maintenance can often cause the mattress to collapse and deform in advance. Professionals have summed up 3 golden maintenance rules. Follow these methods to keep your mattress "firm" after 10 years of use, and continue to protect your quality sleep.

1. Golden Rule 1: Proper posture for daily use

1. Be evenly stressed and refuse to apply pressure at a single point

The mattress is most afraid of long-term single-point stress. Whether it is an adult lying in the same position for a long time chasing a play, or a child jumping and playing on the mattress repeatedly, it will accelerate the damage of local springs or fillers. It is recommended to develop the habit of changing the sleeping position regularly, such as adjusting the sleeping position around or up and down once a week, so that all parts of the mattress can bear the pressure evenly. At the same time, try to avoid stacking heavy objects in the same area of the mattress for a long time to prevent local excessive compression.

Step 2 Wear "protective clothing" for mattresses

Using a mattress protective cover or mattress hat is the key to prolonging the life of the mattress. Such products can not only effectively block the penetration of stains such as sweat, urine, food residues, etc., but also reduce the wear and tear caused by direct friction between the fabric and the human body. Especially for people with infants, pets, or people who like to eat in bed, it is more important to pay attention to the use of mattress protective covers. When choosing, give priority to styles with good air permeability, waterproof and stain-proof and easy to clean. Change and clean them regularly to keep the surface of the mattress clean and hygienic.

3. Avoid contact with sharp objects

Sharp objects such as scissors, keys, nails, etc., may scratch the mattress fabric and even damage the internal structure. In daily use, it is necessary to develop the habit of picking up sharp objects at will, and do not place them on the mattress at will. If there are pets in the home, regularly trim the pet's nails to prevent them from scratching the mattress when playing. In addition, pay attention to avoid wearing clothes with metal decoration that directly touch the mattress to avoid scratching the fabric.

Golden Rule 2: Clean scientifically and keep your mattress healthy

1. Regularly remove dust to remove minor hidden dangers

The surface of the mattress is easy to absorb dust, dander, hair and other tiny particles. These substances will not only affect the cleaning of the sleeping environment, but also may breed bacteria and mites. It is recommended to use the soft bristle brush head of the vacuum cleaner every week to gently vacuum the surface, edge and side of the mattress. Pay attention to controlling the suction when vacuuming to avoid damage to the fabric fibers due to excessive suction. For dust in the gaps, you can use the narrow slot suction head of the vacuum cleaner to clean up.

2. Timely treatment of stains to prevent infiltration and diffusion

Once you find a stain on the mattress, deal with it immediately. For liquid stains such as juice and coffee, first press and absorb the surface liquid with a clean white cloth or paper towel with strong water absorption, then use a mild detergent (such as neutral laundry detergent and water mixed in a ratio of 1:10), dip a small amount of detergent in the stain and gently wipe it. Finally, wipe it with a clean damp cloth to remove the detergent residue, and then blow dry it with a hair dryer in a low temperature gear. For oil stains, you can use a professional fabric degreaser for treatment. It should be noted that when cleaning, do not let the mattress be too humid to avoid moisture and mildew on the internal filling.

3. Turn and rotate regularly

The springs and fillers of the mattress will wear to varying degrees due to uneven force during long-term use. In order to make all parts of the mattress wear evenly, it is recommended to turn the mattress up and down or rotate it end to end every 2-3 months (if the mattress has front and back sides, follow the product instructions to operate correctly). This can effectively prolong the service life of the mattress and maintain its overall support and comfort.

III. Golden Rule III: Professional protection in special scenarios

1. Store from season to season, do a good job of moisture-proof and dust-proof

If you need to store the mattress for a long time, be sure to take moisture and dust-proof measures. First, thoroughly clean and dry the mattress to ensure that no moisture remains inside the mattress. Then, put a special dust cover on the mattress. The dust cover should be made of a material with good air permeability to prevent the mattress from being damp and moldy during storage. The environment where the mattress is stored should be dry and ventilated to avoid direct sunlight. You can place the mattress vertically against the wall to reduce the floor area and prevent the mattress from being deformed under pressure.

2. Use with a suitable bed frame

The choice of bed frame also has an important impact on the life of the mattress. Choose a bed frame that matches the size of the mattress and has good support. Avoid using a bed frame that is too soft or undersupported, otherwise it will cause the mattress to be partially stressed and collapse faster. For spring mattresses, it is recommended to match a bed frame with rows of skeletons or a bed board spacing of no more than 5 cm to provide uniform support; for memory cotton, latex and other spring-free mattresses, the choice of bed frame is relatively flexible, but it is also necessary to ensure its stability and breathability.

Follow the above 3 golden maintenance rules to take care of your mattress in an all-round way, from daily use, cleaning and maintenance to special scene protection. Scientific maintenance can not only keep the mattress from collapsing for 10 years, but also save you the cost of replacing the mattress, bringing a healthier and more comfortable sleep experience.
