Banish odors, create an optimal sleeping environment, and maximize the lifespan of your memory foam mattress with a regular cleaning and maintenance routine.
Memory foam mattresses have become the go-to construction for most of America’s bedding manufacturers due to memory’s foam’s unique cushioning and support properties. Originally developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to protect and cushion astronauts’ bodies as they hurtled into space, memory foam is now one of the most popular materials used for mattresses and mattress toppers.
Consumers have embraced memory foam because…memory foam embraces them. Memory foam gently and slowly conforms to the shape of the body, cradling and supporting backs, necks, knees, and other “pressure points” while you sleep. Memory foam bedding also minimizes motion transfer, so people sharing a bed don’t disturb other sleepers while shifting position. The best memory foam mattresses truly deliver on the promise of providing a better night’s sleep. Some shoppers prefer a cool gel memory foam mattress because of its cooling properties.
But for all of memory foam’s advantages, it does have a potential downside: Cleaning a memory foam mattress can be difficult. Memory foam tends to absorb moisture and takes a long time to dry, which can create a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, mildew, and odors. Stains–especially liquid-based stains like urine or sweat–can be stubborn and hard to remove, potentially voiding the warranty on your mattress. Whether your bed set includes a memory foam topper, memory foam mattress cover, or consists of a full-blown memory foam mattress, it is important to establish a regular cleaning and maintenance routine to keep your sleep surface clean and fresh. Following are some key techniques to help you learn how to clean a memory foam mattress.
