How To Safely Store A Mattress
A good night's sleep is priceless and so is a great mattress. Sometimes in the middle of a move or housing transition, you may need to store a mattress. Keeping your mattress clean and safe while it is in storage is important. A quality mattress is an investment and should be treated accordingly. Below are a few tips on how to safely store a mattress.
Here Are 4 Tips for Safely Storing a Mattress
Clean Your Mattress First
Before preparing your mattress for storage, it is a good idea to clean it first. Strip the bed and wash all the bedding. Then
vacuum the mattress and clean any stains. Sprinkle it with baking soda and vacuum it again. Flip the mattress and repeat this process. Let the mattress fully dry before covering it.
Cover Your Mattress in Protective Wrap
You can purchase protective coverings made specifically for mattresses. Be sure to choose the specific size to fit your mattress.
Store Your Mattress Lying Flat
Store your mattress lying flat on a clean, sanitized surface. Mattresses need to be stored flat because eventually the coils and inner workings of a mattress on its side will settle out of their proper position. This can permanently ruin your mattress. Do not store other items on top of your mattress either.
Protect Your Mattress from Moisture & Extreme Temperatures
Excessive light, high heat, moisture, or extreme cold can damage your mattress. If you are using a storage unit for your mattress, be sure it is climate-controlled.
