Should i replace my 20 year old mattress

You may be able to prolong the life of your mattress with some extra care. The following are things that you can do:

• Use a mattress protector to protect against spills, dust, and debris.
• Make sure your mattress is properly supported with the right box spring or foundation.
• Rotate the mattress every 3 to 6 months to promote even wear.
• Clean your mattress as directed by the manufacturer.
• Open your windows regularly for better ventilation, which can reduce dust and moisture buildup.
• Keep your mattress upright when moving it to prevent creasing or damage to the springs.
• Keep pets off the bed to reduce the risk of damage from claws and chewing.
• Don’t let your children jump on the bed as this can damage coils and other mattress components.
• Remove sheets and mattress covers occasionally to air out your mattress.

Regular vacuuming can help keep allergens and dust mites to a minimum.

You can also sprinkle your mattress with baking soda and vacuum it 24 hours later to help remove trapped moisture and odors.
