Reset & Refresh: 5 Expert Mattress Maintenance Tips from Brothers Bedding in Knoxville, TN

by | May 9, 2025

As you freshen up your home this May, don’t forget your mattress—one of your most important wellness investments. At Brothers Bedding Mattress Factory, we’ve handcrafted double-sided mattresses since 1938. With the right care, they can outlast most modern one-sided models. Here’s your essential May checklist to maximize comfort and extend your mattress’s life:

Flip & Rotate Regularly
Flip your mattress head-to-toe and top-to-bottom to prevent sagging and maintain support. Do this every 3 months for balanced wear.

Use a Breathable, Washable Protector
Protect against allergens, dust, and moisture with a hypoallergenic cover made from TENCEL or organic cotton—perfect for letting your mattress breathe.

Clean the Right Way
Vacuum the top and sides with an upholstery attachment, then air it near indirect sunlight to naturally deodorize and sanitize.

Reassess Your Comfort Needs
Your comfort preferences can shift over time. With our 365-Night Comfort Guarantee, we can adjust your mattress’s firmness at no extra cost.

Check Your Foundation
Uneven slats or worn box springs can cause discomfort. Use a level to check for dips—if needed, we offer perfectly matched, factory-direct foundations.
