We invest about one-third of our life in bed, so it is important to choose a quality mattress set that will give you the support you need. When you sleep, your body is compressed by gravity in a different way than when you stand. Without a mattress that can provide your body the correct support, damage can happen over time to your back and neck. The most typical are innerspring, even though there are other types on the market.There are 3 components to the traditional innerspring sleep system. The core consists of the inner springs or coils. This core is surrounded by an upholstery layer, which provides cushion and encases the entire mattress. The foundation is the final component, usually a box spring.As with upholstered furniture, the size and number of coils determines the comfort of your mattress. Regardless of whether or not you favor a soft or a firm mattress, make sure it is of quality construction to ensure you get a peaceful and healthy night’s sleep.A few tips for the care of your mattress:o Always use a firm base for your mattress. A weak base can lead to a sagging mattress.o Most manufacturers recommend normal rotation and flipping of the mattress and box spring to reduce the wear patterns that can develop over time. Rotate the mattress (180 degrees, so the head of the bed becomes the foot) each three months and flip the mattress (the top becomes the bottom) at least twice a year. Some manufacturers suggest to alternately turn and flip the mattress as soon as every two weeks for the first 3 months and then twice per year after that.o Use a vacuum cleaner for normal cleaning. Vacuuming is the only recommended way to clean a mattress.o Use a great quality washable mattress pad to keep free from stains. If stained, use mild soap with cold water and rub lightly. Do not soak a mattress or foundation.Mattresses and Bedding – Bedroom Furniture at Furniture Outlet Globe
