Today we had a conversation with the sales department manager at the store saltele.md – one of the largest retailers of orthopedic mattresses in Moldova.
Question: Why is it so important to follow mattress care recommendations?
“It is important to remember that a quality mattress is a significant investment, lasting at least 8-10 years ahead. Orthopedic mattresses serve the important function of supporting the correct spinal alignment during sleep, so preserving their anatomical properties is paramount. Additionally, extending the mattress’s lifespan is a key to saving money, as frequent replacements can add up.”
Question: What problems can arise from improper mattress usage?
“The main consequences of improper care are premature sagging and deformation of the mattress, formation of indentations in sleeping areas, and the emergence of unpleasant odors due to dust accumulation and mite proliferation. As a result, the mattress loses its orthopedic qualities, body support becomes uneven, leading to posture problems and back pain. Plus, unsanitary conditions contribute to the development of allergic reactions.”
Question: Share the most valuable tips for mattress care.
“The basic rules are simple but very important. Firstly, regularly ventilate the mattress every morning for 20-30 minutes – this ensures the maintenance of hygienic properties.
Secondly, rotate the mattress every 2-3 months to redistribute pressure and ensure even wear. It’s best to change its position with the “head” and “feet”.
Thirdly, use a suitable firm base under the mattress and prevent pets from accessing it.
And finally, quickly dry the mattress in case of water spills on it – a crucial factor in preventing mold and other negative consequences.”
Question: What are the risks of neglecting usage recommendations?
“The consequences can be quite dire – from premature mattress failure to the creation of extremely unhealthy conditions, such as mite proliferation, mold, and bacteria in areas of moisture accumulation.
Therefore, it is best to follow our care recommendations and not neglect the mattress. This will allow you to enjoy comfortable and healthy sleep throughout the stated lifespan of the orthopedic mattress.”
