Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I clean my mattress?
Light cleaning (vacuuming) should be done monthly, while deep cleaning is recommended every 6-12 months depending on usage. Spot cleaning should be done immediately when spills or stains occur.
Can I flip my memory foam mattress?
Most memory foam mattresses are designed with specific layers and should not be flipped. However, rotating 180 degrees every 3-6 months can help ensure even wear. Always check manufacturer guidelines first.
What's the average lifespan of different mattress types?
Latex mattresses typically last 12-15 years, memory foam 8-10 years, hybrid 8-10 years, and innerspring 6-8 years. Proper maintenance can extend these lifespans by 2-4 years.
When should I replace my mattress?
Replace your mattress if you experience persistent back pain, visible sagging over 2cm, significant wear or damage, persistent odors that won't clean, or if it's beyond its expected lifespan despite good maintenance.
