Beds from the VIRTUOSO® collection are like layers of clouds – one upon another, forming a soft space where dreams come to rest. The sturdy base provides support, the mattress ensures proper body alignment and adapts to movement, while the topper envelops you in softness and lets you drift into the sweetest sleep. To preserve these qualities and enjoy lasting comfort for years to come, it is important to care for your bed properly.

BED BASE

Cleaning. Your bed is made from the highest quality materials, and to keep it in immaculate condition, we recommend gently vacuuming it (using a low-pressure setting) and cleaning it with a dry-cleaning method. Accidents happen, and almost all fabrics used in LONAS beds and furniture can be cleaned with upholstery cleaners. There is a small risk that cleaning agents may alter the fabric’s color, so to avoid this, we recommend testing the product first on a small, inconspicuous area of the bed. In the LONAS online store, we offer our tested and recommended upholstery cleaners – OA Sofa Care – but you can also choose any other cleaner that contains non-ionic and anionic surfactants. These ingredients gently yet effectively remove grease and stains without damaging the fabric, helping to maintain its softness.

Keep Away from Light. The color fastness test (ISO 105-B2) is carried out by exposing the fabric to intense xenon light. The results are rated on a scale from 0 to 8, where 0 indicates very poor light resistance and 8 represents complete resistance. Most fabrics used in LONAS beds are rated between 4 and 6, meaning they are suitably resistant to fading. However, prolonged exposure to strong light may still cause the fabric to fade, so we recommend keeping the bed away from direct sunlight and powerful spotlights.

MATTRESS

Cleaning. We recommend regularly cleaning your mattress with a vacuum cleaner and a dry-cleaning method. Using an upholstery attachment, carefully vacuum both sides of the mattress to remove surface dust, pet hair, accumulated dead skin flakes, and dust mites. Regular vacuuming helps reduce allergens, which is especially important for people with allergies and for children. For sweat, coffee, or other stains that cannot be removed by vacuuming, use a mattress cleaner and a damp cloth. We recommend OA Mattress Care, a cleaner formulated similarly to upholstery cleaners. Avoid over-wetting the mattress surface, as mattresses do not tolerate moisture well and take a long time to dry. After cleaning, ventilate the room thoroughly. To reduce the need for frequent cleaning of the mattress cover, we recommend using a mattress protector.

Ventilation. To prevent dust from accumulating inside the mattress and dust mites from appearing on its surface, we recommend airing the mattress at least once every three months. If you have purchased a new mattress, unfold it on the bed and air out the room thoroughly. A new mattress made from natural materials such as wool and cotton may have a noticeable scent, so we recommend allowing it to absorb plenty of fresh air. In spring and autumn, devote extra attention to mattress care, and even during winter, don’t hesitate to leave your bedroom window open for a few hours to let the mattress air out. This helps remove dust, evaporate accumulated moisture, prevent mold growth, and improve the mattress’s thermoregulation properties.

Flip and Rotate the Mattress. You’ve probably heard that to maintain your mattress’s shape and proper support, it should be flipped from time to time. This is not a myth – over time, the areas of the mattress that bear the most pressure from your body gradually soften and compress. This happens because the mattress consistently carries the heaviest load in the same spots, leading to uneven wear: areas under greater pressure become softer, while those under less pressure remain unchanged. Over time, this may result in visible indentations. Since the mattresses in the VIRTUOSO® bed collection are double-sided, we recommend both rotating them (swapping the head and foot ends) and flipping them every 2–3 months to preserve their functionality. The suggested routine is as follows: after 2–3 months, flip the mattress; after another 2–3 months, rotate it – and continue alternating in this way to keep your mattress comfortable and supportive for many years.

Massage the Mattress. Wool, cotton, latex, and other natural materials used in mattresses tend to compress over time under constant body weight. Regular massaging helps these materials recover, maintain an even surface, and prevent localized indentations that may develop over time. It’s best to massage the mattress before flipping or rotating it, after removing the topper. Clench your hands into fists and press the mattress rhythmically, moving across the entire surface – from the foot end to the head end. Apply even pressure and cover the whole area to help the natural materials redistribute evenly.

TOPPER

If you choose additional cushioning – the VIRTUOSO® Touch topper – its care is similar to that of the mattress.

Cleaning. The VIRTUOSO® Touch topper does not have a removable cover, so vacuum the surface every three months. For stains that cannot be removed by vacuuming, use a mattress cleaner and a damp cloth. While the topper helps protect the main mattress, it does not replace its maintenance – we still recommend vacuuming the mattress regularly to keep it clean and fresh, even when using a topper.

Ventilation. Just like a mattress, the topper should be aired regularly. Every three months, remove the bedding, separate the topper from the mattress, and let both air out separately – this helps maintain cleanliness and improves air circulation.

Flip and Rotate the Topper. We also recommend rotating the topper (swapping the head and foot ends) and flipping it every 2–3 months to preserve its functionality and prevent indentations. If possible, you can do this more frequently – once a month.

Massage the Topper. Over time, natural materials may compress, and the topper may lose its shape. In that case, you can massage the topper by rolling it to help the compressed areas recover. Stand at the left foot end and slowly start rolling only the left side of the topper, pressing down as firmly as possible. When you reach the end, press the rolled topper once more, then unroll it. Repeat the same process on all sides. This helps the materials redistribute evenly, allowing the topper to regain its original shape and comfort.

By following these simple tips, your VIRTUOSO® bed will remain comfortable and durable, providing you with the restful sleep you deserve night after night.
