How do I take care of my mattress?
Maintaining and cleaning your mattress ensures that you can enjoy your new mattress for as long as possible. Proper maintenance and cleaning is therefore important. You can do this by using a mattress protector or mattress topper, or by washing the washable cover.
This ensures better hygiene, because you can easily remove and clean both. Mattresses without a washable cover can be cleaned by using an upholstery cleaner. In the product information on our website you will find the best way to maintain your mattress.
Even the best mattresses become less comfortable with age. Our advice is therefore to replace a mattress every 8 to 10 years.
