How to choose a mattress

One of the most important considerations when choosing a new mattress is your sleeping position. If you’re buying for someone who sleeps on their back or front, a firm single mattress will be best as this will help support the spine in a neutral position. If instead, you’re buying for a side sleeper, a medium firm single mattress will be better as this allows hips and shoulders to sink into the mattress for better spinal alignment. If you’re unsure, then a medium-firm single mattress is a good choice. After all, more adults sleep on their sides than in any other position.

How to clean a mattress

Keeping your mattress at its best means paying attention to cleaning it now and then. Here’s how:

1.Use a protector. By using a protector, your mattress will stay cleaner and fresher for longer.

2. Use your vacuum cleaner to remove any dust that’s built up on your mattress.

3. Use an upholstery shampoo, warm water and a sponge on any stains, making sure the mattress is completely dry before making up the bed.
