It is often underestimated – mattress care! But with the following tips, you can increase the lifespan of your mattress and maintain good sleeping comfort for a long time:
1. Fold back the duvet in the morning after getting up so that the mattress can deflate quickly.
2. Make sure that your mattress is regularly ventilated from below and above – preferably in the sun, as it kills germs – to prevent mould and mites from forming.
3. It is best to turn your mattress every time you change your bed linen by swapping the head and foot ends.
4. If you do not use a mattress with different sides, such as a summer or winter side, it is advisable to turn the mattress every two to three months.
5. Nowadays you should avoid beating out the mattress, which was often done in the past. This is because beating out can damage the inside of many modern mattresses.
6. Many mattresses also have a removable and washable cover. This applies to billerbeck mattresses, as you can see here with our COSICOMFORT (photo), for example. You can wash this cover at regular intervals about twice a year with our Wash-Egg.
7. The use of a mattress topper (also known as a mattress protector or topper) protects the mattress, increases lying comfort and offers a very hygienic standard. Our toppers can be machine washed with our Wash-Egg.
8. On average, mattresses last around eight to ten years with good care. At the latest then you should buy a new mattress for hygienic reasons.
