Some tips for maintaining your mattress
1. Keep it clean
If the weather is good, please dry the mattress more often.
If the mattress is stained, you can use toilet paper or cloth to absorb the moisture
Do not wash directly with water or detergent
At the same time, avoid lying on the mattress right after taking a shower or sweating
2. Don’t sit on the corner or edge of the bed often
The four corners of the mattress are the most vulnerable
Sitting on the edge of the bed for a long time can easily cause the edge spring to be damaged prematurely

It is related to whether our body can get rest
