How Reducing Fungus in Your Mattress Can Improve Sleep Quality

Your mattress plays a critical role in sleep quality, yet it’s often overlooked as a contributor to poor rest. Over time, mattresses can accumulate moisture, heat, and organic matter, creating ideal conditions for fungal growth such as mould and mildew. This hidden issue can quietly impact both comfort and health.

Fungal spores released from mattresses are known to contribute to allergic reactions, respiratory irritation, and poor indoor air quality. Symptoms such as congestion, coughing, and itchy eyes can interrupt sleep cycles and prevent the body from reaching deeper, more restorative stages of sleep. For those with sensitivities or asthma, the effects can be even more pronounced.

Reducing fungal growth within mattress materials helps create a cleaner sleep environment and supports easier breathing overnight. Improved air quality and fewer irritants can mean fewer sleep disruptions and a more consistent, restorative rest.

This is where Fresche can assist. Fresche develops bio-based antimicrobial technologies that are effective against mould and mildew, helping to inhibit fungal growth directly within textiles and foam used in mattresses. Rather than relying on short-term surface treatments, Fresche solutions are designed for durability, continuing to perform as the mattress is used over time.

By limiting fungal activity at the source, Fresche treated materials help reduce the presence of airborne spores that can affect sleep quality. Importantly, Fresche technologies are derived from renewable sources and developed as eco-conscious alternatives to traditional antimicrobials that often rely on harsh chemicals or heavy metals.

The result is a mattress that stays fresher for longer, supports better overnight air quality, and contributes to a more comfortable and uninterrupted sleep experience. By integrating science-backed hygiene into sleep surfaces, Fresche helps transform the mattress from a passive product into an active contributor to better rest, night after night.
