Hoeslakens

It is important to regularly maintain your mattress to keep it clean and in good shape for as long as possible. This always involves three rules of thumb: protect it, air it and turn it.

• Protect it

  Use a mattress protector and a fitted sheet to protect your mattress from stains and wear and tear. It is best to wash the fitted sheet weekly to guarantee a hygienic sleep environment. The mattress protector is washed less frequently, but in accordance with the recommendations.

• Washing and maintaining the cover

  Wash the cover on a programme up to 40 °C to protect the materials and preserve its function. Wash only when necessary (usually once or twice a year). Always treat stains beforehand and separately, after removing the cover from the mattress:

  Blood stains: use cold water only

  Other stains: treat locally with a mild stain remover

• Drying

  Always hang the cover up to dry and only put it back on once it is completely dry. This will prevent any problems due to moisture and the mattress will remain hygienic. Hanging it up to dry ensures the cover will dry quickly and evenly.

• Air it

  Good ventilation is essential. Don’t make your bed right away, pull back the duvet for a while every morning and open a window. This allows moisture to escape and keeps your sleep environment fresh.

A good habit is to turn or rotate your mattress every three months. You can make this part of a regular routine by turning your mattress at the beginning of every new season. Ergosleep mattresses have handy labels for each season that help you remember which side to sleep on during which season. Turning your mattress regularly evens out the pressure on it and keeps it springy and fresh for longer. A quality mattress that is properly maintained can last at least 10 years. What about mattresses that you supposedly ‘don’t have to turn’? They are only finished with a comfort layer on one side, to keep the price down. As a result, they will sag much faster over time. So don’t be misled and always choose a mattress that you can turn and rotate.

• Wassen op 40°C, bij voorkeur met soortgelijke kleuren zodat de stof mooi blijft en verkleuring wordt voorkomen.

• Drogen op lage temperatuur, zodat de vezels hun elasticiteit en vorm behouden en het hoeslaken langer mooi blijft.

• Gebruik een mild wasmiddel zonder agressieve toevoegingen om de kwaliteit van de stof en de zachtheid te behouden.

• Strijk indien nodig op een lage temperatuur om het hoeslaken extra glad en comfortabel af te werken.
