Many people, after purchasing a mattress, never bother to maintain it—some have even lost their mattress’s original functionality due to improper use. Today, sleep expert Donble Mattress shares three of the most common maintenance tips to help you keep your mattress in top shape.

The market offers a wide variety of mattresses, and since different materials require distinct care methods, let’s take the most commonly used spring mattress as an example to explain the proper maintenance techniques.

1. Regularly flip the mattress
Spring mattresses typically consist of three main parts: the fabric cover, the padding layer, and the springs. The padding layer is made up of multiple layers of materials such as foam, cotton felt, and latex—these are what you actually lie on when you rest on the mattress. Over time, if you sleep in the same spot for too long, the padding can become unevenly compressed. To ensure a consistent, comfortable sleeping experience, Donble Mattress recommends periodically flipping the mattress end to end or even turning it over to the other side.

2. Use bed sheets and protective pads
Some people believe that regularly exposing mattresses to sunlight can disinfect and kill bacteria, but this practice is actually incorrect. Most mattress fabrics aren’t designed to withstand direct sunlight—exposure can accelerate the aging process of the material. To better protect your mattress fabric, Donble Mattress recommends using high-quality sheets and mattress protectors instead.

3. Keep it well-ventilated and dry
Mites love to nestle in mattresses, which can negatively impact human health. Environments between 20–25°C with relative humidity of 65%–80% are ideal for dust mites to develop and reproduce. Therefore, keeping the area dry and ensuring frequent ventilation is an excellent way to prevent mite proliferation. To effectively control mites in your mattress, make it a habit to open windows and doors regularly, promoting consistent airflow and natural light—especially when using air conditioning, as proper indoor ventilation and air exchange become even more crucial.

Besides mattresses, dust mites also love to nestle in pillows, comforters, and bed sheets, so it’s essential to wash your bedding regularly. Additionally, try to keep your bedroom as clutter-free as possible to make dusting easier. Ideally, avoid using carpets indoors and steer clear of hanging tapestries or other items that tend to trap dust.
