Why Care Is Important
Every futon mattress benefits from being turned regularly. This significantly extends its service life. The reputation that futons require a lot of attention usually arises from comparisons with conventional mattresses, where care is less of a priority. The fact remains: High-quality mattresses and futons that are well cared for will significantly outlast cheaper versions. To enjoy your products for a long time, however, you should avoid serious mistakes in bed care. We'll tell you how to properly care for beds and bedding—for long-lasting durability.
Regular Turning – A Must for Longevity
Turning and flipping relieves stress on the materials and promotes ventilation, which prevents even wear. Ideally, this should be done when changing bedding, especially in the first few months after purchase. Afterward, turning the mattress or futon once every three months is sufficient. Alternately turn the sleeping item lengthwise and crosswise to ensure even wear. While rolling or fluffing is possible with simple cotton futons, the modern construction of high-quality futons does not require this.
Sunlight for your futon as a natural freshness boost
An occasional sunbath can work wonders – for both your futon and your mattress. Cotton content in a mattress particularly benefits from this. The UV rays not only refresh the fibers but also effectively combat bacteria that can thrive in warm and humid environments. The higher the cotton content, the more noticeable this positive effect becomes.
Fresh air – essential for a healthy sleeping environment
Good ventilation is essential for allowing the moisture absorbed during the night to escape from mattresses and futons. Fleece wool, in particular, regenerates its hygienic properties through oxygen, as the lanolin it contains remains active. Adequate air circulation ensures that your sleeping area remains hygienic and fresh.
With these simple measures, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your futon mattress while ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment.
