Cotton Mattresses, or mattresses filled with cotton batting have always been a choice over the decades. Most Cotton Mattresses available in the market now are organic ones. And they are indeed much more preferred by consumers who are environmentally conscious and are generally concerned about their and their family’s health, as conventional and synthetic mattresses have been found to use potentially harmful and toxic materials in them.

Cotton Mattresses are made from natural and 100% cotton, and have not been treated with any special chemicals making them non-allergenic and environmentally friendly. Although on the downside the mattresses are not flame resistant (because they have not been treated with any special chemical). Like synthetic materials used in back pain mattresses, cotton also conforms to the body, thus making sleep more relaxing. Cotton is also known to have good ventilation qualities, so you can be assured that your mattress stays well circulated.

So, how do you take care of your cotton mattress? Before anything else, you should first choose a good quality cotton mattress. Low quality mattresses reach their breaking point easily, and even the best care cannot save cheap mattresses from deteriorating. So take your time in looking for one that’s durable and made with high quality. During the first few days, Cotton Mattresses may smell a little funny. Although the smell goes away over time, airing it out may make it go away faster.

Now that you have your cotton mattress, make sure it’s well protected. Most Cotton Mattresses do not come with the traditional cover – which is made of vinyl. So it is up to you if you want to use that for your mattress. Vinyl is water – proof and is good to use especially if your mattress is placed in an area prone to accidents (like in a child’s bedroom). Regular vacuuming and airing out of Cotton Mattresses are essential, to clean out unnecessary dust, and to help in air circulation.

To keep your mattress looking sparkling new, spot clean any dirt spots. The best thing to do that is to use natural spot cleaning solution. Using chemical cleaners would rather defeat the purpose of your having natural and organic mattress. You can use vinegar and water for spot cleaning, or commercialized “non toxic or natural home cleaners,” if you prefer. When spot cleaning, make sure to completely dry out parts of the mattress that is wet, before putting it back on the bed. Cotton Mattresses should be turned over regularly so as to even out the wearing of your mattress. Mattresses that are not reversible can be flipped. Do not jump on the mattress. Mostly children do this, so if you have kids, it is best for you to tell them ahead. As comfortable as it feels, it is still not a trampoline. Jumping on the mattress can cause dents and damage to it.

As long as you take good care of it, a good quality cotton mattress should last you for a long time, just as long as synthetic mattresses do.
