The concept of memory mattresses
Most people are often in a dilemma when it comes to choosing a mattress as they think memory mattresses are far better than the others. Well, the other types of mattresses are equally good.
However, if you have a very fidgety partner, it is best to stick to memory foam or even a latex foam mattress. These mattresses will offer less ‘partner disturbance’ along with several other benefits such as:

Cleaning the mattress
In order to retain the health benefits as well as the functionality of the mattress that you have finally chosen, you must also know how you can best clean your mattress. There are lots of factors to consider for the best cleaning of a mattress.
- It is best to dry vacuum clean it because it will suck up dust and dirt, hair and skin particles from it.
- You can also use a mattress protector on your bed as well so that it is easy to remove it and wash it on a regular basis.
- Make sure that you never use any liquid to clean your mattress as that will result in molds and mildew forming.
- You may not have to vacuum the mattress every time you change the sheets because vacuuming it once or twice a month is normally enough to retain optimum mattress health.
To freshen up the mattress and ensure that it is free from any bacteria you can sprinkle a baking soda and essential oil solution on to the mattress, leave to do its work for an hour and vacuum off.
A little bit of time and care will ensure better health and no aches and pains.
