Tips for Great Sleep: Taking Care of Your Mattress/Mattress Pad

IKEA of Sweden, Box 702, S-343 81 Älmhult

Mattresses (spring, foam & latex) and mattress pads

Great Sleep Begins Here

Initially, your new mattress or mattress pad can seem a bit too firm. Allow one month for your body to get used to the mattress/pad and for them to adjust to your body.

To get the best comfort, you need the right pillow. Make sure that you have a pillow that suits you and your new mattress/mattress pad.

Before Using for the First Time

Most of our mattresses and mattress pads are roll-packed. They can be used right away but will regain their shape and size completely after 3-4 days.

All new materials have their own particular smell, which is not harmful and will gradually disappear in a well-ventilated room. Airing and vacuuming the mattress/pad will also help to eliminate the smell.

When Using

Vacuuming the mattress helps to remove dust mites. Read the label inside the cover and follow care instructions provided.

By complementing your mattress with a mattress protector or a mattress pad, you keep it more hygienic since they are easy to remove and clean.

Don’t fold spring mattresses, as folding can damage the materials inside.

Even the best mattresses and pads become less comfortable and accumulate dust mites over the years, so we recommend that you change your mattress/pad every 8-10 years.
