Say Hello to my Little Friend – Dyson V6 Mattress

When it comes to cleaning the home, I’m as diligent as possible with three kids underfoot. I do what needs to be done like daily tidying and organization, with extra cleaning on a less-frequent basis. This would include window washing and weekly loads of bedding etc.

Yet when it comes to vacuuming the mattresses, I have to admit a fail since … I’ve never done it.

Is this something that needs to be done?

dyson v6 mattress suction dust mites home

Well, ever heard of dust mites? I’m sure you have.

The great and comforting scent of ‘clean sheet day’ isn’t the it’s only reason why we need to wash our bedding, and our pillows now and then. If you haven’t been grossed out by the facts in a while, here’s a refresher {I apologize in advance for the scare-tactic, but I assure you that it’s necessary}. 

  • Mattresses can contain between 10,000 – 1 million dust mites at any given time
  • humans shed up to 28 grams of dead skin in one month

That’s gross right?

If you think it’s a natural process, consider that 50% of all people with asthma are sensitive to dust mites. Don’t have asthma? Ok, then have you ever woken up from sleep, congested? 40% of Canadians claim they do, and dust mites are a major contributing factor to household allergies. In fact, it’s not the mites that most are sensitive too, it’s the protein in their droppings. Yep, we’re reacting to their poop. Each and every night. I’ll leave you with that thought for a minute …

Dust mites might live in your mattress {and places like bedding, carpets, soft furnishings and clothing}, but since they feed off dead skin we shed, they do come out to play all over you while you sleep. Might I point out that you spend approximately one-third of your life sleeping.

Eww. 

With these facts in mind, know that 61% of Canadians admit to rarely or never vacuuming the mattresses in their home.

See the correlation here? 

Vacuuming the mattresses is something we all need to put into our cleaning rotation, as it might just be the dirtying part of your home.

Yet, like I said, I want the job done right and that means having the right tools in order to evict as many dust mites from ‘Hotel Roy’ as I can. 

dyson v6 mattress handheld cordless vacuum review canada

The Dyson V6 Mattress was specifically engineered to use powerful suction, to remove allergens from your mattress. The end-game is to have a cleaner mattress and thus, a healthier and less grossed-out you.

Dyson v6 Mattress Product Information:

  • Whole Machine HEPA filtration: Patented 2 Tier Radial™ cyclones, a post motor filter and a sealed system to ensure that the air that leaves machine is cleaner than the air you breathe.
  • Motorized mattress tool:With stiff nylon bristles that agitate mattress fibres, the motorized mattress tool releases dust and allergens.
  • Dyson digital motor V6:Provides two times the suction power of any other cordless – suction power that starts strong, and stays strong. Creates the most powerful cordless vacuum.
  • 2 Tier Radial™ Cyclone Technology: 15 cyclones, arranged across two tiers, work in parallel to increase airflow and capture fine dust.
  • Run-time: Rechargeable and runs for 20 minutes, 16 with the motorized cleaner head, and 6 minutes on boost mode.
  • Hygienic bin emptying: Just push the red button to release the dirt directly into the bin.
  • Weight: 3.6 pounds.
  • Warranty: 2 year parts and labor warranty.
  • Energy Star Rating: Hygienic one-touch bin empty. Just push the button to release the dirt.
  • Price: $299.99 CAD

 

The Dyson v6 Mattress is usable straight out of the box, you only need to snap on the cleaner head of choice. Lightweight, and compact – this model is characterized by the blue-green and white look, to stand apart from the rest {though I might be biased since I obviously love this colour combo!}.

The V6 motor has been created for powerful suction that works with the motorized stiff bristle head to agitate the mattress fabric in order to loosen up stuck particles and get them outta there.

Here’s a video on the first time I used the Dyson v6 Mattress to clean our mattresses. 


 

On my own bed, our mattress is covered with a thick foam comfort pad, two fabric sheets that encases said pad, plus a fitted sheet. And I STILL vacuumed out dust from my mattress. So, 3 layers of fabric and a 3-inch foam pad doesn’t stop dust mites, obviously.

I cringe thinking of the other beds in our home, that only have a fitted sheet between person and mattress. Plus, we now have a dog all dandering up in here.

Any way you look at it, mattresses should be vacuumed. 

dyson v6 mattress review

The Dyson v6 Mattress is one handheld that can be used anywhere though, so keep this in mind. It can be used on carpets, the couch, chairs and throw pillows too. It’s like a one-stop shop of mattresses and more.

Dust mites, say hello to my little v6 friend.

“Awareness of allergens residing in your bed is relatively low, and many find it obscure to vacuum your mattress,” says James Dyson. “Our US$370 million investment in Dyson digital V6 motors has allowed us to achieve the suction power required to remove more allergens, such as dust mites, from your mattress than any other mattress cleaner – reducing the number of critters you share the bed with.”

Thanks to James Dyson and his engineers, many people are sleeping better at night now. I know I am!

    What an excellent product! I know Dyson is top-of-the-line: a little costly, but thorough for sure. I think this product would also serve well as a car vacuum! Thanks for the heads up on this product!

    Ha never thought I would say what a pretty vacuum but there it is, “It’s so pretty!” I like the fact that it can be used on the mattress but probably a lot of other places too for max cleaning.

    That’s a fantastic product! It’s so easy to forget about our mattresses, but armed with those facts (shedding dead skin cells and the amount of dust in the air), a clean mattress really is the foundation for a clean life.

    I try and remember to wash my mattress cover as often as possible….but, I must admit that I don’t vacuum my mattress often, or at all, sometimes! I do have asthma, and am allergic to dust, and dust mites! But, I had no idea I was sleeping in their poop!!! That is soooo gross!!! I guess I will be getting the vacuum out more often!!!

    I let my dog sleep in my bed , so her hair is always on my mattress.

    Vacuum the mattress was a terrible thing for me, I was very tired when their children do the dirty mattress. I had to spend a very long period of time to complete it. if dyson v6 can work well so I think I should buy one.
