Mattress Maintenance and Care

Midsummer Milano: A Lasting Investment in Quality and Sleep

Investing in a Midsummer Milano mattress means investing in the highest quality natural materials and exceptional sleep. With proper care, your Midsummer Milano mattress is designed to last at least 25 years.

Natural Mattress Settling

Your Midsummer Milano mattress is crafted from all-natural materials such as horsehair, cotton, linen, and wool, which will adapt to the shape of your body and sleeping habits over time. As the mattress settles, a slight reduction in thickness (less than about 20 mm) is normal and considered physiological as the padding adjusts to your body weight.

Mattress Handling and Carriage

Since Midsummer Milano mattresses are filled with natural materials, they are heavier than conventional mattresses made from synthetic materials. To ensure safe handling:

  • After removing the cardboard box, transport the mattress carefully while it is still in its cellophane wrapping. Only remove the wrapping once the mattress is placed on the bed.
  • Do not use the handles to carry the mattress. The handles are designed for adjusting the mattress once placed on the boxspring.

Natural Odor

When your natural mattress arrives, you may notice a slight odor from the natural materials such as horsehair or wool. This is perfectly normal and the smell will dissipate after a few months as the materials breathe.

Artisanal Seams

Because each Midsummer Milano mattress is handcrafted by skilled artisans, slight inaccuracies in the seams may occur. These details reflect the care and craftsmanship involved in making each mattress.

Mattress Care Tips:

  • Rotate the mattress (head-to-foot) and flip it (top-to-bottom) weekly for the first three months, then at least twice a month thereafter.
  • Avoid pulling on the handles when moving the mattress.
  • Do not use solvents, chemicals, or steam vaporizers on the fabric, as they can damage the inner layers and reduce the mattress’s lifespan.
  • The fabric should never be wet or ironed. To clean, gently brush the surface or use a low-powered vacuum.
  • Avoid high-powered vacuum cleaners, as well as irons, hair dryers, or electric blankets, as these can affect the integrity of the materials.
  • Always use a high-quality mattress cover to protect the product.
  • Remove the packaging within 24 hours of delivery to prevent condensation and moisture buildup. If you cannot unpack immediately, open the packaging to allow airflow.
  • Do not jump or sit for extended periods on the mattress, as this can damage the structure.
  • Allow time to adapt to your new mattress. A few weeks may be required, especially if transitioning from a different type of mattress.

Ensuring Longevity: Additional Care Guidelines

  • The tufting on your mattress is designed to hold the padding securely in place. In the event of excessive stress, these tufts may break, but they are easily replaceable.
  • For the best care, avoid excessive moisture and protect your mattress with a breathable cover.
