There are days when you don’t want to step out of your bed and stay there as long as possible. This is because most of us develop a hidden relationship with our mattress; for you it has become an ultimate place to find solace and relief from the pain of hectic daily life. Not to mention, if it happens to be a rainy day, you won’t care to open your eyes even if the world is crumbling around you.
Like any other of your favorite things, you want your mattress to last longer. But have you ever wondered why and what can damage to your beloved mattress. So, before getting under those comfortable sheets, stop doing these three mistakes with your mattress to prevent it from getting spoiled.
Standing or jumping on your bed like crazy
Its fun to jump on your bed, but you know what, it has not been designed to serve as a trampoline. Agree, we all have done this when we were kids; but you can’t keep doing the same now that you are no longer a child. If you really want your mattress to last longer, don’t stand on it, let alone jumping. And, that’s because when you stand or jump on your bed, your body weight gets focused on one point of the mattress, which causes it to strain and sag. There is nothing as bad as a bed with potholes.
