In order to prevent contamination during transportation, a newly purchased mattress is usually covered with a packaging film. Many consumers think that "it would be a pity if the mattress bought at a large price is soiled", "covering the packaging film can not only avoid the breeding of mites, but also prevent moisture and moisture"...

4. The mattress will not turn over after long-term use
Spring mattresses have a characteristic. If you often sleep on one side, the mattress is prone to unevenness. Because of the continuous force on the point of force, it is easier to lose support. If you sleep in one position for a long time, the spring and quilting layer at the stress point will wear more seriously, which will not only affect the sleeping feeling, but also affect the service life.
Countermeasures: Change the left and right sides of the mattress regularly. If the mattress is used on both sides, you can change the front and back sides.
