Four Care Tips For Your New Adjustable Bed

Adjustable beds are a godsend for people with health issues such as poor circulation or joint pain. If you are looking at buying an adjustable bed for the first time, it is important that you know how to care for the bed and the mattress after they have been delivered. By knowing these important four care tips in advance, you can avoid inadvertently damaged your new place of rest.

Be Careful On The Mattress Edge

Unlike ordinary mattresses, adjustable bed mattresses have a softer edge. This is necessary so that the mattress can raise and lower to match the movement of the bed. Because the edge of the mattress is less robust, it is important that you don't sit or place any heavy objects on the edge of the mattress for an extended period of time. If you do so, then you risk permanently damaging the mattress edge.

Keep The Mattress Flat When Not In Use

When the bed is not being used and when you are getting in and out of the bed, return the bed and the mattress to a flat position. Leaving the mattress in an upright position for a lengthy amount of time will possibly damage the mattress's internal springs. Additionally, a permanent fold could appear in the mattress, which is difficult to get rid of.

Mattress Cleanliness

Just like a normal mattress, you can spot clean any dirty spots on the mattress with a little soapy warm water. Make sure you dry the spot completely before remaking the bed so that mildew does not grow in the damp spot. Be sure to turn off the power supply to the bed before cleaning just in case your water inadvertently splashes over the bed's power point. Also, rotate the mattress every month so that you can avoid body indentations or flat spots forming in the mattress.

Keep The Kids Off

Finally, while children are fascinated by an adjustable bed, it is not a toy for them to play with. Make sure kids are kept off the bed because jumping on it could cause damage to both the mattress and the electrical workings of the bed.

If you have any further queries about how best to look after your new adjustable bed, do not hesitate to ask the bed supplier. Not only will they answer any extra questions which you have, but they will also supply a care instruction sheet when the bed is delivered.
