Mattresses
If you stand mattresses on their sides, prop them up so they stand straight. Otherwise, they tend to bend out of shape and become lumpy.
How to Store a Mattress
DO: Thoroughly clean both sides of the mattress Before storing your mattress, it is important to thoroughly clean it off. First, sprinkle baking soda on your mattress to absorb odors and let it sit for a day. After the day is up, vacuum up any leftover baking soda. If you have stains on your mattress, use an upholstery cleaner to clean them. After using a liquid on your mattress, it is important to give your mattress ample time to dry before continuing to the next step.
DON’T: Wrap the mattress in plastic A mattress needs to be covered while in storage. This will not only prevent dust from settling on it while in the storage unit, it will also help to protect your mattress during the move. But it is important to never use plastic when storing your mattress. Instead, utilize a mattress storage cover. A mattress storage cover will allow the mattress to breath and prevent moisture from getting trapped inside.
DO: Move your mattress in a covered vehicle During your move, moisture is the enemy. When moving your mattress from one location to the next, be sure to use a covered vehicle. This will help to keep your mattress clean and dry.
DON’T: Store your mattress on its side When storing a mattress, it is important to store it flat. While storing the mattress on its side may help to take up less space, overtime the springs inside of the mattress can sink and permanently damage your mattress.
DON’T: Stack items on top of the mattress It is important to never stack items on top of your mattress. Over time, the weight of items stacked on top of your mattress can permanently damage the springs and coils inside of the mattress.
