You spend a good portion of your day relaxing or sleeping in your bed and subsequently a considerable time of your life is spent on your mattress. If you paid attention to the instruction leaflet that came along with your mattress when you purchased it, there is some instruction about how to enhance the life of your life. Taking proper care of your mattress for getting the maximum use out of it is necessary to save money. You are supposed to flip the sides of the mattress every six months and protect it from water and heat. If needed it is to be air-dried only.

Luckily we found a detailed guide put together by The Laundry Place on the very topic. You can go to the link and read detailed tips or catch on the summary here.
