How should we choose our mattress when purchasing apartment furniture? This is a question worth considering. Recently, many customers reported to us that the mattress they bought had not been in use for long and had undergone deformation. What is the reason for this? Generally speaking, the lifespan of a mattress is 5-8 years. Here are several methods to increase the lifespan of our mattress.

1、 Timely remove the plastic wrap

Newly purchased mattresses are usually covered with a packaging film to ensure they are not contaminated during transportation. Many consumers believe that tearing off the packaging film can easily stain the mattress. Actually, it's not the case. Mattresses are designed with breathable holes to evaporate the accumulated moisture during use, which helps prevent moisture, mold, and even odor. Therefore, when using them, the plastic wrap should be removed.

2、 Regular flipping

The newly purchased mattress is flipped every two to three months in the first year, including the front and back sides, the left and right sides, the top and bottom sides, so that the springs of the mattress can be evenly stressed and extend its service life. After the second year, the frequency can be slightly reduced by flipping once every six months.

3、 Regular dust removal and cleaning

Mattress maintenance also requires regular dust removal and cleaning of the mattress. Due to the material issue of the mattress, the dust removal of the mattress cannot be cleaned with liquid or chemical cleaning agents, but requires the use of a vacuum cleaner. The use of liquid cleaning products can damage the mattress, causing the metal substances inside the mattress to become stained with liquid and rust. This not only reduces the lifespan, but also has adverse effects on human health.

4、 Auxiliary items

Maintaining a mattress requires us to pay attention to it in our daily use. In daily life, mattresses are equipped with auxiliary items such as sheets and covers. This is the most convenient and simple way to maintain a mattress. Bed sheets can extend the lifespan of the mattress, reduce wear and tear on the mattress, and facilitate disassembly and cleaning, making it equally easy to clean the mattress. When using auxiliary items such as bed sheets, it is necessary to wash and change them frequently to maintain a clean surface.
