How To Clean A Memory Foam Mattress

Cleaning Memory FoamMemory foam mattresses can be expensive. So it is important to know how to care for them. But what do you do when there are stains in your memory foam and you can’t get it removed? Read on to find out.

If the mattress is partly stained, use a spray bottle to dampen the stained area. You might want to mix a mild detergent with the water and spray on it. The detergent should not include any bleaching ingredient as it may damage the mattress. Soak the mattress through only when needed.

Gently brush the stained area using a sponge. The stains will not totally come off easily but it helps get rid of it a bit. Scrub gently until the surface stains comes off.

To get rid of the inner stains that persist, use the baking soda trick. Mix a few tablespoons of baking soda with water and mix a one teaspoon of white vinegar. Soak a clean towel in this mixture and put the towel over the stained area. Press it down a bit so the mattress can absorb the moisture. Leave the towel there for about 30 minutes.

Remove the towel. By this time, the stains should have already come off. Spray it with water and sprinkle dry baking soda on the affected area. This will help get rid of the vinegar smell and helps dry the inside of the mattress.

Vacuum the affected area after a few minutes until all the residues are gone. Dry it completely using your electric fan or a hair dryer.

You can also use fabric cleaner products. But whichever product you choose, never use bleach as this can affect the memory foam mattress. Pick mold cleansers instead like baking soda as it has neutral pH balance.

    

Reasons To Choose A Twin Memory Foam Mattress

Twin Memory Foam MattressA memory foam mattress is a type of mattress originally designed by NASA to help relieve astronauts of the incredible g-forces experienced during lift-off. It was then altered and people began manufacturing them as products to help people have their quality sleep and prevent back pain. When you lay on it, you can feel it forming to the curves of your body as you apply pressure. The foam is the same material used in memory foam pillows. The name memory foam mattress refers to how it “remembers” how you press on it for a short period. Once the pressure is removed, it would slowly go back to its original shape.

The material used on a memory foam mattress is designed so that when pressure is applied, it sinks down and would sink down further when more pressure is applied. It also adjusts depending on temperature. When in cold temperature, it would relatively be stiff and relaxes when warmed up. Because pressure points on the body create the most heat on the mattress, these areas heat up and sink in to provide more cushion. This relieves tension and pressure so you can relax and sleep better. It also relieves pressure on your back. This is extremely helpful for anyone with back or joint problems.
