Protecting a mattress from damp and surface dirt
Mattress packaging involves more than covering its surface. Consider the material, journey duration and any storage period together.
Before you start
Check dimensions and manufacturer care instructions. Do not assume the model can be folded, and photograph existing stains or distortion.
Practical steps
- Put the dry mattress in a suitable protective cover.
- Prevent contact with projections that could tear the wrapping.
- If storage is needed, agree its position and conditions according to the material guidance.
Checks on arrival
Inspect wrapping and surfaces on delivery. Assess damp packaging or changes in shape and arrange suitable ventilation before returning the mattress to use.
