How to Care for Your Breeze® Mattress

Keep Your Mattress Comfortable, Supportive & Long-Lasting

A quality mattress is an investment in better sleep. With the right care and maintenance, your Breeze® pocket spring mattress can continue providing exceptional comfort and support for many years.

Following these simple mattress care tips will help maintain its shape, hygiene and performance while extending its lifespan.

1. Rotate Your Mattress Every 3 Months

Regular rotation helps distribute body weight more evenly and reduces natural body impressions.

Single-sided mattresses

Rotate your mattress 180 degrees (head to foot) every 3 months.

Double-sided mattresses

For double-sided mattresses:

  • Rotate the mattress end-to-end.
  • Flip the mattress over.
  • Repeat every 3 months.

Regular rotation promotes even wear and helps maximise comfort.

2. Always Use a Mattress Protector

A high-quality waterproof mattress protector or Breeze Premium Mattress Topper helps protect your mattress against:

  • Dust
  • Dirt
  • Sweat
  • Spills
  • Allergens
  • Everyday wear

Keeping your mattress clean also helps maintain a healthier sleeping environment and protects your investment.

3. Never Fold, Bend or Jump on Your Mattress

Pocket spring mattresses are carefully engineered to provide balanced support.

Avoid:

  • Folding the mattress
  • Standing on it
  • Jumping on it
  • Bending it excessively

These actions may permanently damage the springs, foam layers and internal support system.

4. Use a Suitable Bed Base

Your mattress should always be placed on a strong, supportive bed frame or foundation.

A suitable bed base:

  • Provides proper support
  • Improves mattress performance
  • Prevents unnecessary sagging
  • Helps maintain your warranty

Always ensure your bed frame is appropriate for your mattress size and weight.

5. Lift Your Mattress When Changing Sheets

When changing bedding, avoid pulling the mattress from one side.

Instead:

  • Lift the mattress gently.
  • Reposition it before fitting or removing sheets.

This helps reduce unnecessary stress on the mattress edges and handles.

6. Keep Your Mattress Away from Heat and Fire

Your mattress should never be exposed to:

  • Open flames
  • Cigarettes
  • Heaters
  • Fireplaces
  • High heat sources

Although modern mattresses comply with Australian safety requirements, they are not fireproof and can ignite if exposed to flames.

7. Allow 30 Nights to Adjust

A new mattress often feels different from your previous one.

Most people require up to 30 nights for their body to adjust to the new comfort and support.

During this period:

  • Your muscles adapt to improved spinal alignment.
  • The comfort layers settle naturally.
  • Your body becomes accustomed to the new sleep surface.

This adjustment period is completely normal.

Additional Tips to Extend the Life of Your Mattress

For even better performance:

  • Vacuum your mattress every few months to remove dust.
  • Keep your bedroom well ventilated.
  • Avoid sitting on the edge of the mattress for long periods.
  • Allow the mattress to air occasionally by removing bedding for a few hours.
  • Clean spills immediately using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never soak the mattress.

Why Proper Mattress Care Matters

Regular mattress maintenance helps:

  • Extend the life of your mattress
  • Maintain comfort and support
  • Improve sleep quality
  • Reduce dust and allergens
  • Protect your investment

A well-maintained mattress can provide years of comfortable, healthy sleep.
