Caring for and maintaining beds

Buying a new bed is more important than just buying another piece of furniture; it’s an investment in your health and wellbeing. If you care for it, you will enjoy a great night’s sleep for many years to come. To help you care for your new bed, we have created a handy guide to bed and mattress care and maintenance.

If you are wondering how to get rid of bed bugs, we have a few tips. Unfortunately, bed bugs are very easy to pick up on holiday or while travelling. Firstly, when you find you have a problem, wash your bed covers in hottest temperature to kill those horrible bedbugs and their eggs. A fun fact is that some people do not make their beds, as this will provide less places for hiding as well as lack of moisture and low temperatures that bed bugs dislike. Although, it might possibly just be an excuse they tell their mothers...

Don’t forget that bed bugs like to hide, so by getting rid of clutter in the bedroom it is easier to spot infestation. Clean everything thoroughly, and regularly, and keep the bed away from the wall. Additionally, if you vacuum the bed it will help get rid of the bugs that are hiding as well as their offspring.  These are some suggestions, of course when the problem gets out of hand ring the professional pest control immediately.

You spend a large percentage of your time either asleep or in bed. A bed is such as an important part of your life, it’s even more crucial that you care and maintain for your bed and mattress.

Maintaining the Right Room Temperature ...

You spend a large percentage of your time either asleep or in bed. A bed is such as an important part of your life, it’s even more crucial that you care and maintain for your bed and mattress. To do so, there are some general considerations you need to follow when it comes to getting a good night's sleep.

Maintaining the Right Room Temperature
Being warm and cosy at home is important but a large number of homes are heating their homes too much and this can affect the way they sleep. For getting a good night’s sleep, the temperature in your room should be kept at 70oF (21oC) or below.

Keep Your Bed Pet Free
We suggest to all of our customers to consider making their bed a no-go zone for pets, as allowing them to sleep with you may disrupt your sleep. Pets can also mark, scratch and stain your bed if they are dirty from their adventures outside.

Flip Your Mattress Regularly
To ensure maximum comfort and lifespan for your mattress, we recommend flipping your mattress frequently. It is also important to turn your mattress each time as this will add further value to your mattress.  You should consider flipping your mattress at least once a month so you don’t lose any support.

However, it is worth noting that some of our mattresses are ‘no turn’. In this instance we recommend occasionally rotating the mattress 180 degrees from head to toe to prolong its life and your comfort.
