Extend the Life of Your Mattress

Care and Usage

 

Help extend the lifespan of your mattress through proper care.

  • Support a large foundation using a bed frame with centre rod and leg or rails with slats
  • Protect your mattress from stains and dirt with a mattress cover.
  • Do not bend an innerspring mattress.
  • Rotate and flip the mattress for even wear.
  • Do not lift a mattress with the handles, they are only for rotating and positioning a mattress.

Mattress Rotation

After two weeks flip your mattress over side to side, after two more weeks rotate it 180 degrees. Continue this regimen every two weeks for the first three months, and every three months after that. This will equalize natural body impressions and give uniform wear to each side.
