Mattress Care Guide — How to Look After Your Pro-Motion Mattress

All Pro-Motion mattresses are designed for long-term use with minimal maintenance. However, a few simple habits will significantly extend the life of your mattress and maintain its hygienic condition. The most important step you can take from day one is to use a good quality mattress protector. A breathable, waterproof protector prevents moisture, skin cells, and allergens from penetrating the mattress core, which in turn protects the foam and spring layers from premature degradation and keeps the sleep surface hygienic.

During the first few weeks of use, your mattress will settle and conform to your body shape. This is entirely normal and does not indicate a fault. You may notice a slight softening in the areas where you sleep most — this is the comfort layers responding to your weight and warmth. Some initial off-gassing odour from new foam mattresses is also normal and will dissipate within 24 to 48 hours of unpacking. Airing the mattress in a well-ventilated room before use will speed this process.

Avoid sitting repeatedly on the edge of the mattress in the same spot, as this can compress the foam or spring border over time and reduce the structural integrity of the edge support. When getting in and out of bed, try to vary the point of contact rather than always using the same corner. This is particularly relevant for adjustable base users, where the articulation already places repeated stress on specific zones of the mattress.

Ensure adequate ventilation in your bedroom to reduce moisture build-up beneath and within the mattress. If possible, fold back the duvet for 20 to 30 minutes each morning before making the bed, allowing body moisture to evaporate from the mattress surface. Do not store items under the bed in a way that restricts airflow beneath the base, as this can lead to condensation and mould growth in humid conditions.

• Use a mattress protector from the first night
• Avoid jumping or standing on the mattress
• Ensure adequate ventilation in your bedroom to reduce moisture build-up
• Do not fold or bend the mattress during storage or transport
• Air the mattress for 20 to 30 minutes each morning before making the bed
