Unfortunately, we often forget that we also need to care for and clean the mattress regularly. Although many people don’t realise it, a Somnus mattress can become an ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, mould and other dirt. In this text, we will explain why regular mattress cleaning is important, what your options are, and how to choose the best mattress cleaner.

Somnus brand history

The brand Somnus was founded in 1840 and has prided itself on quality, tradition and innovation since its inception. The mattress factory is located in the UK, specifically in the county of Yorkshire, where each mattress is made with care and attention to detail. Over its 180+ years of existence, Somnus has built a reputation for producing luxurious and comfortable mattresses that are handcrafted using the finest materials. Over the years, the Somnus brand has expanded its offerings with innovative technologies and patents that ensure not only comfort, but also spinal support, temperature regulation and extended mattress life. Thus, the brand delivers not only an aesthetically pleasing product, but also an investment in quality and healthy sleep.

Materials and natural ingredients in Somnus mattresses

One of the main characteristics of Somnus mattresses is the use of only natural materials. While many modern mattresses rely on synthetic materials, Somnus believes in natural alternatives that offer not only an eco-friendly approach, but also increased comfort and breathability. Key ingredients include:

• Yorkshire wool: The brand uses locally sourced wool, which provides natural breathability and helps regulate body temperature during sleep. The wool is hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
• Cotton and silk: These natural materials give mattresses a luxurious feel and increase their breathability. Cotton and silk are soft to the touch, yet firm enough to hold the shape of the mattress.
• Horsehair: This less common but high-quality material is often used in premium mattresses. Horsehair is resilient, durable and very moisture wicking, contributing to a dry and comfortable sleeping environment.
• Natural Latex: Latex from natural sources is used in Somnus mattresses, which is flexible, conformable and antimicrobial. Latex provides perfect body support and increases the life of the mattress.

Why is it important to clean Somnus mattresses?

Our mattress is where we spend about a third of our lives. During sleep, we release sweat, dead skin cells and other biological material that is absorbed into the Somnus mattress. This process gradually contaminates the mattress and creates a breeding ground for microorganisms. In addition to losing quality and comfort, the Somnus mattress also increases the risk of health problems, especially for allergy sufferers.

• Mites and allergies: Mites are one of the main reasons why a Somnus mattress should be cleaned regularly. Dust mites feed on dead skin cells and multiply rapidly in the warm and humid environment of the Somnus mattress. Mites and their droppings can cause severe allergic reactions such as rhinitis, asthma, or eczema. Although mites cannot be completely eliminated, regular cleaning of mattresses can significantly reduce their occurrence.
• Bacteria and mould: As the Somnus mattress absorbs moisture, water and sweat can also build up. In such conditions, bacteria and mould can easily breed, which can lead to health complications, especially in people with weakened immunity.
• Long life of the Somnus mattress: By cleaning your Somnus mattress frequently, you can extend its life. Accumulated dirt and moisture can gradually reduce the quality of Somnus mattress materials, resulting in reduced comfort and durability.

How often to clean your mattress

The frequency of cleaning a Somnus mattress depends on various factors such as the type of Somnus mattress, how it is used, the room environment and specific needs (such as allergies). In general, a few basic rules apply:

• Light cleaning (such as vacuuming) should be done at least once a month.
• Deeper cleaning should take place at least once every six months.
• Cleaning after soiling (for example, after spilling liquids or if the Somnus mattress becomes a source of unpleasant odor) should be done immediately.

Regular cleaning is especially important for people with allergies or asthma, as it can help reduce the amount of allergens in the mattress.

What mattress cleaners are there?

There are several ways to clean a mattress, from at-home methods to professional cleaning. The method you choose depends on the type of Somnus mattress , the degree of soiling and your preferences. Let’s take a look at the main methods of mattress cleaning.

Mechanical cleaning involves removing dirt, dust and allergens from the surface of the Somnus mattress. This is usually done using industrial vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters, which ensure that even the smallest particles are captured. Mechanical cleaning is the first step, which should be complemented by other disinfection methods.

Chemical disinfection

Using chemical agents is one of the most common methods. Special disinfectant solutions are applied to the surface of the Somnus mattress to destroy bacteria, viruses and mould. It is important to use products that are safe for human skin and do not irritate the respiratory tract. After chemical disinfection, the mattress must be dried thoroughly.

Steam cleaning

Steam cleaning uses high-temperature steam to disinfect. This method is environmentally friendly as it does not require chemicals and is very effective in killing bacteria and dust mites. In addition, the hot steam penetrates deep into the Somnus mattress fibers, ensuring thorough disinfection.

UV-C cleaning

UV-C technology is increasingly used for disinfection in hotels. Ultraviolet radiation of this wavelength destroys the DNA of microorganisms, thus completely inactivating them. This method is fast, effective and does not require the use of chemicals. Modern machines allow the application of UV-C radiation directly on the surface of the Somnus mattress.

Ozonisation

Ozonation is another innovative method that uses ozone to destroy microorganisms. Ozone has strong oxidizing properties that effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses and odors. This method is particularly suitable for hotels as it can also remove lingering unpleasant odours caused by smoking or animals.

When should professional cleaning be considered?

In some cases, cleaning with baking soda may not be sufficient and it is advisable to consider professional Somnus mattress cleaning. Professional cleaning companies use special products and technologies that can remove even deep-seated dirt and bacteria. Professional cleaning is recommended especially in the following cases:

• Old stains: If the Somnus mattress contains old and stubborn stains that cannot be removed by conventional means.
• Large soiling: If the Somnus mattress has been subjected to heavy soiling, for example after an accident with liquids.
• Allergies and health problems: If you suffer from allergies or respiratory problems, professional cleaning can help eliminate allergens

The Somnus mattress is one of the most important products that has a major impact on our health, well-being and quality of sleep. When choosing a Somnus mattress, we pay close attention to its material, firmness and ability to adapt to the shape of the body. Unfortunately, we often forget that we also need to care for and clean the mattress regularly. Although many people don’t realise it, a Somnus mattress can become an ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, mould and other dirt. As part of our professional cleaning service, we aim to use primarily deep disinfectant dry cleaning. Below is an overview of the partial steps that professional and thorough cleaning and disinfection involves.

Vacuuming & knocking the Somnus mattress : Professional vacuum cleaners with HEPA filter and HEPA bag must have an electric vibrating knocking head. This technology of KIRBY® / HYLA® vacuum cleaners makes it possible to remove surface mould spores, mites by dry method from the surface of the Somnus mattress.

Cleaning with special chemical cleaners: Professional antibacterial disinfectants and cleaners from the manufacturer and brand POTEMA® / Dr. Schutz® bring an environmentally friendly, anti-allergenic method of surface disinfection maintenance.

UV-C lamp: We recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have the Somnus UV-C germicidal mattress lamp. UVC producing lamps are designed to be safely used on surfaces and other household items. The radiant energy of the UVC radiation acts directly on microorganisms that reside on the surface and top layer of the Somnus mattress. The disinfection process usually takes a few minutes, during which time the lamp destroys up to 99.9% of the bacteria and other harmful organisms present.

OZON: we recommend entrusting the mattress to industry professionals who have the BIO-OZON® vacuum cleaning system. The disinfecting properties of ozone result from its ability to oxidize molecules in the cells of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. When ozone comes into contact with these pathogens, it disrupts the cell membrane or wall of the microorganism, leading to its decomposition and subsequent death. This process works similarly to the action of conventional disinfectants, but without the use of chemicals, which is beneficial for people who prefer natural and eco-friendly solutions.

When used indoors, ozone kills not only bacteria and viruses, but also dust mites, mold spores and other allergens. Its ability to destroy harmful microorganisms without toxic residues makes it ideal for the environment in which we sleep and rest.

Allergens, mould spores, bacteria, viruses and dust mites are not only a hygiene but also a health problem in ch. However, with appropriate prevention, maintenance and the right choice of Somnus mattress, the risks can be significantly reduced. Even the thickest sheets and blankets cannot protect us from micro-particles. Dust mites or moulds, which often number up to one million and produce allergy-causing faeces that settle in our mouths, noses, eyes, etc. every time we move. In addition to the allergy manifesting as itching, mucous membrane inflammation, bronchitis, asthma and shortness of breath can be added. This condition can be prevented by professional cleaning and deep dry disinfection with UV-C radiation or vacuum ozonation of the Somnus mattress with thorough machine vacuuming and above all regular maintenance.

Cleaning the Somnus mattress is an important process that should not be overlooked. Careful maintenance, the right products and prevention can extend the life of your Somnus mattress and ensure a healthier and more comfortable sleep. Whether you choose natural or commercial remedies, the key is regularity and consistency.

Tips for proper Somnus mattress care

Proper maintenance of a Somnus mattress involves not only using cleaners, but also following a few basic guidelines to help extend its life and keep your mattress sanitary.

• Vacuum regularly: The Somnus mattress should be vacuumed at least once a month to remove surface dust and dust mites. If you have pets, you should vacuum more often.
• Use a protective cover: A protective mattress cover can greatly reduce the amount of dirt that gets into the Somnus mattress. You can easily wash the protective cover and it helps keep the mattress clean longer.
• Turning the mattress: It is recommended to turn the mattress regularly and change its position to help it wear more evenly. This will also reduce the risk of dirt accumulating in one place.
• Rapid Response to Stains: If a stain appears on your mattress, it is best to treat it as soon as possible. Using a special cleaner can prevent permanent stains.

Despite regular care and cleaning, every Somnus mattress has a lifespan. If the mattress is more than 15 years old or shows signs of damage, odour, mould or allergic reactions, it may be time to replace it.
