Bedroom Furniture - Caring For Your Bed
Your bed can take care of you while you sleep, but how it does largely depends on how you take care of it while you're awake. As long as you give it the attention it deserves, it should continue to serve you like the king or queen you are while you're on it.
Caring for your bed is quite a simple task, but it has to begin from the time it lands in your home. The first you'll want to look into is the guide that it comes with. Read everything the manufacturer has written in that guide because no matter how basic the instructions may sound, they can make a lot of difference the moment you take them for granted. One thing you shouldn't miss doing upon removing the packaging of the bed is letting the thing breathe for a few hours before putting a mattress and beddings on it. While your bed may feel a little weird as you try to adjust to its new feel under your back, you should get the hang of it in no time.
No bed frame of superb craftsmanship will make up for a mattress that doesn't feel good so make sure yours is a pleasure having. Give it time to air by removing your beddings each morning while keeping it away from direct heat. Use only a soft brush for dusting, never a vacuum cleaner. Remove stains by wiping them off gently with a soft fabric but never with detergents as this could cause damage to the material. You can preserve the quality of the mattress' spring system by avoiding sitting on the edges too long. And don't forget to turn it as often as the manufacturer recommends. While a mattress could come with a "no-turn needed" tag, it should still be a good idea to rotate its position every now and then.
When it comes to caring for your bed, pillows are always included. Plumping them regularly will help to keep them soft and cushy for longer. Although an average pillow's comfortable life can go up to three years, they can last even longer when you care for them better.
Keeping your bed's frame safe and secure is another way of caring for it, so ensure that all bolts, screws, legs and castors are tight in place. If you're using bed furniture with drawers, don't overload them as this could cause the drawers to detach or collapse.
