Proper care of orthopedic mattresses

Most often it is a matter of improper use of the product, namely in its care. Veneto specialists know how to treat an orthopedic mattress so that it will serve you for many years.

Cleanliness is the key to health

An orthopedic mattress should be cleaned regularly. Otherwise, various unpleasant organisms - bacteria, fungus, dust mites - may settle in it. Such “cohabitants” will certainly not have a positive impact on health. They can cause allergies and other skin diseases, from which it is quite difficult to get rid of.

Professional cleaning of orthopedic mattresses is a complex and labor-intensive process that requires the intervention of specialists. But it is still possible to maintain the cleanliness of the sleeping place on your own thanks to the use of mattress covers. These accessories protect orthopedic mattresses from dust, various kinds of dirt, as well as perform correction of the surface rigidity. It is recommended to wash mattress covers once every few weeks, in a delicate mode.

Say no to bending and twisting

Bending and twisting is only allowed when storing and transporting springless mattresses with latex or polyurethane foam fillings. Spring mattresses must not be handled in this way. Otherwise, you risk damaging the spring blocks and other internal layers of the product, which cannot be repaired. Orthopedic spring mattress, which at least once was subjected to bending or twisting, loses its anatomical properties, and can even be harmful to health in regular use.

To restore the soft layers of the filling of the orthopedic mattress and its springs, it is recommended to turn the product once every 3 months.

Care features of the mattress with Multi Pocket Spring block

With proper care, orthopedic mattresses with Multi Pocket Spring block remain in perfect condition for 20 years, even if the product is used daily. The basis of Veneto mattresses with independent spring blocks is 256 springs per 1 square meter, which allows point distribution of the load on the body during sleep. Independent springs are placed in separate covers, thanks to which each of them, bending and unbending, affects different parts of the spine, fully relaxing and supporting it. To make your mattress last for many years, follow simple rules:

• Do not sit in the same place of the product all the time. This can lead to deformation of the independent springs in this area.
• Do not let children jump on the mattress to avoid damage to the springs - they may burst or, conversely, stretch.
• Consider the maximum weight that the product can support when buying it. If your weight exceeds the allowable weight, the mattress may lose its orthopedic properties after a while.

Useful tips

To ensure that your orthopedic mattress will serve you for years to come, don't forget about other, less obvious rules to follow:

• Never place an orthopedic mattress on a soft base. By doing so, you will quickly damage the spring block, which will not be restored. The product should lie on high-quality lamellas. With their help, there will be sufficient aeration of the mattress and removal of excess moisture from it. A good option will be lamellas made of beech - a flexible, durable and environmentally friendly material.
• Do not use aggressive chemicals to clean the orthopedic mattress, they can spoil the outer cover of the product. Wash the mattress cover in plenty of water, in a delicate mode. It is recommended to soak the product before washing.
• In addition to regular washing of the mattress cover, it is recommended to vacuum clean the product once every 1-2 days. In case of stain formation on the surface, use a soap solution or a special product for upholstered furniture for cleaning.
• Drying of the orthopedic mattress should take place in the open air. If you cannot take the product outside, leave it in a well-ventilated room until it dries completely. Orthopedic mattress is categorically not recommended to dry with a hair dryer, iron or other heating devices.
• If a humid microclimate prevails in the room with an orthopedic mattress, try to ventilate the room as often as possible. Otherwise, the product will absorb moisture, which contributes to the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria in it.
  Turn the orthopedic mattress in all directions to avoid the occurrence of cavities in places of the greatest load. Every 3 months, change the head-foot position and every 6 months, change the position completely to the other side.
