Care For Mattresses

Rotating mattresses is one of the most simple and effective ways to elongate the effectiveness of your sleeping surface. When the seasons change, it’s time to flip, rotate, and reposition your bedding. For sleeping surfaces without pillow top coverings, flipping four times a year can help better distribute weight across the entire product. Sleeping bodies and box springs each put a different type of pressure on your investment. Simply flipping it over can make it seem as though you’re sleeping on a brand new product. For those who own pillow top surfaces, you’ll simply want to rotate your bedding.

You want to rotate your mattresses for the same reasons you flip them. Most people sleep in a very specific area on their bed night in and night out. Over time, increased pressure and wear on these specific spots can cause the bedding to lose firmness. Eventually, there will be a noticeable impression of a sleeping form. Rotating with every change of season can make it so weight is distributed to different areas of the bed. All you have to do is take the foot of the bed and turn it so it is now at the head. The result is a product that will retain its firmness for a longer period of time.

Protecting sleeping surfaces should also be a top priority. The materials used for their construction can make mattresses incredibly absorbent. Should you introduce your product to any liquids or messes, it can be difficult to resolve the issue. As a result, your goal should be to protect your investment from spills in the first place. There are bed coverings specifically designed to absorb any liquids and prevent them from seeping into the bedding below. This rather inexpensive investment can have a huge impact on the value of your sleeping surface. Should an accident occur, simply remove the covering and put it in the wash.
