Tidy bed, restful sleep

Not only does fresh bedding banish the grey of the winter, but it also contributes to a better quality of sleep: we sweat out anywhere from half to one litre of fluid a night. We also lose skin particles – unfortunately, a favourite food source for mites.

Thankfully, there are a few handy care tips to help you maintain a high-quality sleeping environment.

Wash at the right temperature

If the care instructions allow it, bed linen should be washed at 60 degrees. Another handy thing to bear in mind: almost all RUFBetten mattress covers can be easily removed and are machine-washable at 60 degrees. Remember! Fabric softener is not suitable for all fabric types because it makes the fibres stick together and can compromise breathability.

Change bed linen regularly

Keep your RUFBetten box-spring or upholstered bed clean, fresh and soft by changing the bed linen every fortnight. This ensures there’s no chance for skin particles or mites to hang around.

Air bedding

While the bed covers are in the washing machine is a perfect time to air pillows and duvets in the fresh air: hang these over a clean windowsill or out on the balcony to air and dry. Moisture and mites don’t stand a chance against the fresh air.

Turn your mattress more often

When you change the bedding, you can turn the mattress too. Simply remove the mattress cover from your RUFBetten mattress and spin it round or turn it over. This will extend the lifespan of your RUFBetten mattress considerably.

Make your bed and make you day

Making your RUFBetten upholstered or box-spring bed in the morning helps you bid farewell to the night before and sets you up for the new day. That said, it’s better not to do this immediately after waking up. This traps the moisture from the night before in the mattress. Instead, open the windows, shake out the duvet and pillows and let them dry. Then you can get your dream bed ready for the next, restful night. Not only can you look forward to a great sleep, it also keeps your room looking great during the day.
