Mattress Care Guide
Good mattress care is mostly about keeping the mattress clean, dry, properly supported and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Always follow the care information supplied with your particular mattress because materials and construction vary.
Use a mattress protector
A washable mattress protector can help protect the sleep surface from spills, perspiration and everyday marks. Choose one that fits correctly and follow the protector manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Keep the mattress dry
Avoid soaking a mattress or applying large amounts of cleaning liquid. If a spill occurs, blot excess moisture promptly and follow the mattress manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Allow the area to dry fully before replacing bedding.
Vacuum gently when needed
If the manufacturer permits it, a vacuum with a clean upholstery attachment can help remove surface dust and debris. Avoid aggressive scrubbing or tools that could damage the fabric.
Rotate only when appropriate
Some mattresses benefit from periodic head-to-foot rotation, while others have product-specific care requirements. Do not flip a one-sided mattress unless the manufacturer specifically says it is designed to be flipped.
Use a suitable foundation
Your mattress should sit on a structurally sound base or bed frame that is suitable for the mattress. Check the product and warranty instructions for any specific support requirements.

Avoid unnecessary stress on the mattress
Do not fold, sharply bend, jump on or place unusually concentrated loads on the mattress unless the manufacturer states that the product is designed for that use.
For stains or unusual damage
Check the mattress care label or manufacturer instructions before using cleaning products. If you are unsure, contact Best Beds with the mattress model and a photo of the affected area before attempting a treatment that could damage the materials.
Warranty and consumer rights
Product warranty conditions can vary by model. Keep your purchase record and follow any product-specific care requirements. A manufacturer or retailer warranty operates in addition to any rights that apply under Australian Consumer Law.
