Welcome to Pro-Motion Beds’ Mattress Care Guide. Your mattress is an essential investment in your comfort and well-being, and with the right care, it can provide you with many years of restful sleep. Follow these simple instructions to ensure your mattress remains in top condition.

1. Unpacking and Setup
When your new mattress arrives, it may be compressed and rolled for easy delivery. Carefully unpack it and allow it to expand fully in a well-ventilated room. This process can take up to 72 hours. During this time, it’s normal for the mattress to have a slight odor, which will dissipate as it airs out.

2. Regular Rotation
To maintain even wear and prolong the life of your mattress, rotate it regularly. For double-sided mattresses, flip them every 3-6 months, and rotate them head-to-toe. For single-sided mattresses, simply rotate them head-to-toe every 3-6 months. This helps to prevent sagging and ensures even support over time.

3. Use a Mattress Protector
A mattress protector is an essential accessory for keeping your mattress clean and free from spills, stains, and allergens. It creates a barrier against dust mites, sweat, and other contaminants, helping to extend the life of your mattress. We recommend washing your mattress protector every few months or as needed.

4. Support Your Mattress
Ensure your mattress is placed on a sturdy, supportive base or bed frame. A good foundation is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of your mattress and providing you with optimal support. Check the slats or base regularly to ensure they are in good condition and provide adequate support.

5. Keep it Clean
Vacuum your mattress every few months using the upholstery attachment to remove dust, dirt, and allergens. If you spill something on the mattress, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth, but avoid soaking the mattress. Always allow it to dry completely before putting on sheets or a mattress protector.

6. Avoid Jumping or Standing
Mattresses are designed for sleeping, not for roughhousing. Avoid jumping or standing on your mattress, as this can cause damage to the internal structure and reduce its lifespan.

7. Air Out Your Mattress
Periodically airing out your mattress can help prevent moisture build-up and keep it fresh. Strip the bed and let the mattress breathe for a few hours with the windows open. This is particularly beneficial after long periods of use or if you live in a humid climate.

8. Address Sagging Early
If you notice any sagging or indentations forming, rotate the mattress more frequently. If the sagging persists, it may be time to consider additional support or, if within warranty, contact us for advice or a possible replacement.

9. Follow Manufacturer's Instructions
Each mattress comes with specific care instructions from the manufacturer. Always follow these guidelines to ensure you don’t void your warranty and to keep your mattress in the best possible condition.

10. Know When to Replace
Even with the best care, mattresses have a lifespan. Most mattresses should be replaced every 7-10 years, depending on usage and quality. Pay attention to signs like discomfort, visible wear, or a decrease in sleep quality, which may indicate it’s time for a new mattress.
