Common Failure Modes

Sagging and body impressions are the universal failure modes for mattresses, leading to back pain. Spring breakage is rare but happens in older or cheaper innerspring models.

Maintenance

View all →

Rotate the Mattress

Rotating the mattress head-to-foot evens out wear and prevents body impressions from forming. This significantly extends the life of the support foams or springs.

Vacuum the Surface

Vacuuming removes dust and microscopic debris that filters through the sheets. This is essential for allergy sufferers and keeps foam pores clear.

Wash Bedding and Cover

Washing sheets weekly and the mattress protector monthly removes dead skin and dust mites. This keeps the mattress sanitary and allergen-free.
