How to Clean a Mattress



Mattresses have their own importance in our lives as we spend a significant portion of the life by lying on the mattress. Now to have a sound and relaxed sleep, mattress has to be in perfect shape from all aspects.  Mattress Cleanliness is one of the major factors to be considered for having a healthy lifestyle.  Your mattress has to be properly neat and clean and well maintained for comfortable sleep. Mattress cleaning is not an easy accomplished task and is way tough as compared to cleaning of bedding. This article will tell you few essential steps required to clean a mattress, and get a regular schedule setup to keep your mattress clean.

Make Regular Cleaning a habit:

The most important aspect to make your mattress dust free is to keep it well protected. Use a mattress cover or pad to keep the dirt and debris away from your mattress. If you have to tackle the problem of small kids peeing on the bed and that brings liquid inside your mattress, the best option in this case is to opt for a waterproof mattress. This not only saves your mattress, but its also quite easy to wash the mattress cover as compared to the mattress itself.
Another important step in the cleanliness of the mattress is Rotation. I know it sounds strange but it is very important to protect the mattress from uncomfortable sags and soft spots. It is good if you flip the mattress at about every six months. The best way out is to reverse the mattress with the head and foot positions switching place so the opposite side is resting on the bed frame or box spring each side.
Secondly, you can also use the vacuum cleaner for cleaning the mattress. Use the vacuum cleaner once in a week to remove all the unnecessary dirt particles and it is also very beneficial to the persons who can not bear allergies.

Stain Removing:

The best way to remove the stain from mattress is to go for a Dry Cleaning method rather using the wet detergents as they can squeeze deep into the mattress and worsen the situation even more. You can opt for the Upholstery cleaners, but that too in a delicate manner. Use a dry sponge upon the stain to remove it .
It is sometimes very difficult to remove the stains such as urine and blood even with the help of cleaners. In this situation, you can go for hydrogen peroxide easily found in most bathrooms. And the most important thing, let your mattress dry completely before using it for your bedding. Use a fan blowing above your mattress to make it completely dry.

For having a delightful sleeping experience, maintain your mattress properly in every possible manner.  Try to make a proper schedule and devote some time on regular basis to cleanliness of mattresses to make the mattresses long lasting. Always remember, for having a better sleep, your mattress must have to be comfortable and to make a mattress experience more comfortable, it has to be clean.

Picking a Right Mattress, a Right Investment for Life

How terrible it is to get up in the morning with a pain, or if it is takes you 5-10 mins to get your body together then it’s time for you to do some serious thinking. Well, the reason could be an uncomfortable mattress. A mattress which is too stiff or too soft for you could be the reason behind the discomfort. Generally, we pick up a mattress which is good looking and has an excellent appearance. We mostly go for a mattress which fits our budget not realizing the long term harm it can cause to us and our body. We do not take care of the specifications and the requirement of the particular mattress and end up buying just a piece of foam or coir which is waiting to just do the damage.

The rectification of the error in purchasing the mattress also has to be carried out by us only. The first step in this regards is to have a good review of the market for the mattress. There are different types of mattresses available in the market today; there is one which is made of foam and another which is made from latex. Here brand should also be paid attention to when purchasing a mattress. Options are very many all you have to do is select one which suits your body type and on which you feel comfortable. The Sealy latex mattress score one of the highest in quality in this segment. The Sealy latex mattress is designed specially keeping in mind the contours of the human body. In this mattress you will find different sizes of holes and perforations so that equal pressure is applied at different segments of the body which are different for the human body. Another advantage with the Sealy latex mattress is they do not absorb any kind of dust, pollen or materials that can cause allergies to people who use the mattress. Also, as natural latex is available from rubber they are very natural products, thus making these mattresses very organic.

Similar to the latex mattress in comfort is the King-size memory foam mattress. It has great compressive properties which makes the mattress light to handle and at the same time very flexible. The only difference being that the foam of this mattress is made from a chemical reaction. But as the name suggests the king size memory foam mattress comes in a very good size so that maximum area could be covered with this mattress.

So pick the best mattress that suits your needs and wake up to a fresh morning everyday for years to come.
