Sleep expert shares how often to clean mattress in order to improve its lifespan

Not only is a well-kept mattress key to good quality sleep, but it’s important to look after it in order to improve its lifespan and save yourself money in the long run

We all know it’s important to clean bedding regularly – and routinely debate how long sheets can last without a wash. But do you know how often you ought to clean your mattress? Or how best to tackle the job? If the answer is a firm ‘no’, then fear not, as an expert has revealed all.

According to Kora Habinakova, a sleep expert at Sleepseeker, it’s recommended to give your mattress a deep clean twice a year, with more regular cleans in between. “A well-kept mattress is fundamental for a good quality of life, and as such, taking good care of it is vital for increasing its lifespan and improving our quality of sleep.

“It’s recommended that you deep clean your mattress around twice a year and regularly give it a quick clean to prevent odours, long-lasting stains and keep it in generally good condition,” she explained.

Thankfully, it’s not the mammoth task you might expect. “Cleaning your mattress can be easily incorporated into your cleaning routine by tackling it whilst the sheets are in the wash or the dryer. This involves quickly vacuuming over the bare mattress, collecting any dust and crumbs that may have collected there and then spot-cleaning stains or spills using a mild soap and water mixture,” the pro advised. Although, in an ideal world, you’d treat stains as soon as they appear. “Ideally, you should spot-clean stains as and when they appear as they tend to be easier to clean when still wet and this can prevent any long-lasting damage to the mattress.”
