First, why must the plastic film on the mattress be torn off?

The plastic film on the mattress is just used by the manufacturer for packaging. It is convenient to protect the mattress during storage and transportation.

When using the mattress, be sure to tear off this layer of plastic film to release the harmful gases and moisture remaining in the production process.

If you do not tear off the plastic film, long-term exposure to the odor emitted by the plastic film during sleep will cause many harms to the human body and may even lead to chronic poisoning in severe cases.

If the plastic film is left on the mattress, it will cause the mattress to be airtight and absorb moisture. The sweat discharged during sleep cannot be effectively dissipated, so the bedding will always feel damp and have an odor.

If the mattress is not breathable and is exposed to moisture for a long time, it will easily become moldy and breed bacteria. Cause harm to the human body.

If the mattress is wrapped in plastic for a long time, the formaldehyde in the newly purchased bed will not be fully dissipated. It also affects the elasticity of the mattress, causing many long-term problems such as mattress deformation and rust of springs.

Moreover, the plastic on the mattress will cause the bedding and quilt to become slippery. There is noise when turning over in sleep. In short, it does more harm than good. So be sure to tear off the plastic film on the mattress!

Third, the benefits of removing the film

Be sure to tear off the film after buying the mattress, otherwise it will affect the service life of the mattress. Because the mattress easily absorbs moisture in the air and sweat from the human body during use, but the film is not breathable, so the water vapor will be retained in the mattress.

Mattresses that are not breathable for a long time are prone to mold, attracting small reptiles and breeding bacteria. Moreover, the smell of plastic film is also irritating to the human body, so be sure to remember to tear it off.
