How Often Should You Inspect Your Mattress?

Regular mattress checks are a simple, low-effort habit that can catch a bed bug problem before it grows.

A Realistic Routine

A quick visual check of the mattress seams and nearby skirting boards every few weeks, or after travelling or having overnight guests, is a sensible, realistic habit for most households.

What to Look For

• Small dark spots along seams
• Tiny pale shed skins
• Small blood spots on sheets
• Any live bugs, especially near piping and tufts

When to Check More Often

After travel, house guests, or bringing in second-hand furniture, it's worth a closer check than usual, since these are common ways bed bugs get introduced.
