At least 5 things need to be done in order to use the mattress normally. Many people do wrong, either can not play the full performance of the mattress, or will affect the life of the mattress. Here are five things to do, in order, when the new mattress we've been longing for arrives at home.
1.Check the goods
Mattresses and other furniture are not the same, be sure to check after the arrival. Some mattresses look almost identical, with only two letters of the model different from the old one. Therefore, after receiving the mattress, be sure to carefully confirm the model number on the delivery note and the mattress packaging. In addition, most beds have high requirements for the size of the mattress. The mattress is too thick and too thin, and it will affect the use effect on the bed. So before unpacking the mattress, you may wish to put the mattress on the bed to try. If there is a problem, you can apply for return in time, so as not to bring greater losses to yourself.
2.Remove the film
The mattress is covered with a layer of plastic film during transportation. Especially the elderly, like to take this layer of film to use (afraid of dirty or bad). But in fact, this use will waste a good mattress: there is a very important parameter on the mattress capacity, called "air permeability". However, no matter how breathable the mattress is, it can not play any performance under the plastic film. Sleeping on plastic film for a long time is easy to produce mites, breed bacteria, and mold in humid areas - mold, but it will affect the life of the mattress. The film should be torn off, and the fabric on the mattress should be in direct contact with the air. If you are afraid of dirt, you can wrap a bed hat around the mattress. If there are children at home, afraid of wetting the bed, you can choose a waterproof mattress topper.
3.Confirmation of front and back
The mattress is divided into front and back, and the front is often softer. The opposite side is more special: some mattresses can be used on both sides, the front is soft, the back is hard, and which side can be used. Some mattresses, especially low-price spring mattresses, may not work at all. The back fabric is very thin, and you can feel the outline of the spring by gently pressing it with your hand. These mattresses on the wrong side can have an effect on our bones. Pure brown mat (without additional layers such as sponge layer and latex layer) is generally used on both sides, and can be relatively random when used. However, it is recommended to use both sides to extend the service life to the greatest extent. Other materials (do not include spring or brown) of the mattress, such as latex, memory cotton, air fiber, soybean cotton, etc., the difference between the front and back is not very obvious, but there are differences. This kind of mattress is often marked positive and negative, need to look carefully before use.
4.Reversing the direction of use
Clearly divided into front and back, but also divided into up and down direction: the mattress itself is not divided into up and down (although the pattern may have positive and negative), which end in the head which end in the foot can be used. But after half a year of use, it is recommended to adjust the upper and lower. This is because the mattress will slowly collapse after pressure, people sleep in bed, the pressure on the upper body will be greater than the lower body. Frequent head and foot alignment can maximize the life of the mattress. At the same time also allows the body to get stronger support, to ensure that the mattress to play the maximum performance!
5.Use mattress topper
Mentioned earlier: afraid of dirty mattress, you can cover a layer of mattress topper outside. So what is mattress topper? You can think of it as a sheet with a rubber band underneath it that wraps around the mattress (called a mattress cover). mattress topper comes in two types, one for internal use and one for external use. External mattress topper is used to replace sheets, this mattress topper is not easy to run back and forth. The other is for internal use, that is, as we said before, to protect the mattress. The mattress topper will have a thick surface covered with sponge or latex -- or simply cotton. Accidentally dropped on the bed of liquid (blood, urine, etc.), will not pollute the mattress in the first time. When cleaning, you only need to wash the bed hat, which is much more convenient than washing the mattress.
