Do I need to wash to cover first?No. You can but is not necessary. We do not treat any of our fabrics with any chemicals or antimicrobial coatings. Please note that we do not accept the return of washed bedding unless is defective. #2. Do I need to clean my mattress before putting on the cover?No. You can vacuum the mattress, but it is not necessary. If you choose to spray the mattress with anti-allergen spray or steam clean make sure the mattress is completely dry before you put on the new cover. #3. How often do I need to wash the cover?We recommend that you wash the mattress cover once or twice a year. Pillow covers may be washed a bit more often (we wash ours about every 4-6 weeks). It is important that sheets and pillowcases be washed weekly. #4. Does the cover need to fit tightly on the mattress?No. It is best if the cover fits loosely. If the cover fits snugly the mattress may feel stiff and the seams and zippers will be stressed. #5 I have a mattress pad. Is it better to put the pad on top of the cover or put the pad on the mattress and cover them both?In most cases, we recommend you cover both the pad and the mattress with the cover. This way you don’t have to remember to wash the mattress pad. How do you put a mattress cover on? Remove the blankets and sheets. Slide the mattress down towards the foot of the bed and stand up, if you have a footboard slide it to the side and stand it up. Position the cover on the top side of the mattress and work it about halfway down the mattress. Lay the mattress back down finish pulling the cover up and zip closed. Put on a clean set of sheets and enjoy a great night's rest. Additional information Blog Post - What does pore size mean in allergy bedding?
