How do I maintain my mattress?

The maintenance and cleaning of your mattress will make sure that you can enjoy your new mattress as long as possible. Good maintenance and cleaning are therefore very important. You can do this by making use of a mattress protector or a mattress topper, or by washing the washable cover of the mattress.

By doing this you create a better hygiene, because you can easily remove and clean both. Mattresses without a washable cover can be cleaned by using a furniture cleaner. In the product information on our website, you will find the information about how you can best maintain your mattress. 

Even the best mattresses will become less comfortable during the years. Therefore, we advise to replace a mattress every 8 to 10 years.
