Caring For Your Air Bed

Purchasing an airbed will be a very important investment in the health of you and your family. Your airbed mattress may be hidden under blankets and sheets, but it still needs special attention from time to time. An airbed mattress can last about 10 years if it is properly cared for.

• Cover your mattress with a cotton mattress pad, which will absorb perspiration and can be removed and washed to keep the mattress clean.
• Most traditional mattresses require flipping to preserve the life of the bed. However, an airbed mattress does not.
• Air out your mattress each morning by folding back the covers to the bottom of the bed for half an hour before you make it. This will also prevent moisture buildup.
• Try not to sit on the edge of the bed in the same place every day, because this can lead to sagging.
• Leave the 'do not remove' tag attached to the mattress. You will need this for filing warranty claims.
• Avoid spill and stain damage to your mattress. Many manufacturers void their warranties if there are stains.
