Things to consider before deciding to store your mattress<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

– The space you have available <\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Arguably the most important factor to consider when storing your mattress is whether you have enough space. Mattresses need to be stored in a particular way in order to keep their shape and purpose, which is why you need to have the ideal storage space for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since mattresses can vary in size and be very bulky and large, they naturally consume a lot of space. Therefore, if you live in a property where space is a premium, it may be a better idea to get rid of your spare mattress as opposed to storing it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

– Whether you are likely to use it again <\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Too often we hoard things due to fear of having wasted money, or the hope that one day we might use it again. However, the reality is that most of the time, we don\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is particularly true when it comes to mattresses since they are only supposed to <\/span>last around seven years<\/span><\/a>. This lifespan means that getting the most use possible out of them is not always the most hygienic or healthy option, and in many cases, it could be time to say goodbye to your old mattress to avoid aches and pains, better sleep, and improved general health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, it is important to think critically about how old your mattress is, and whether it is worth finding storage space for at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Clean and air your mattress<\/h3>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Before storing your mattress, it will require a deep clean. Without cleaning your mattress, it could result in the growth of mould, fungus or dirt, which is bad for your health and would in turn render the mattress useless anyway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, there are a few specific steps to cleaning your mattress, preparing it for use when taken back out of storage:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
