How to Clean and Maintain Your Havnby Mattress
Durable. Waterproof. Easy to Clean.
Let’s face it—spills happen. Maybe it’s morning coffee in your Tesla or muddy paws from your pup’s backseat nap. But here’s the good news: your Havnby mattress is wrapped in durable, waterproof TPU material. That means no liquid or dirt will ever soak into the foam. Ever.
So instead of panic-cleaning, you can literally just grab a paper towel, wipe the surface, and get back to the road trip.
Whether you’re using our Tesla Model Y 4.5” Foam Mattress, our flat-surface RAV4 Air+Foam Mattress, or the SUV-optimized CR-V Air+Foam Mattress, this guide will show you just how simple maintenance can be.
Daily Maintenance: Wipe and Go
Your Havnby doesn’t need complex cleaning rituals. In fact, for most day-to-day use, this is all you need:
-
Wipe Spills Immediately: Coffee, water, or juice? No problem. Use a dry towel to absorb the liquid off the TPU surface.
-
Dust Off the Top: For dry dirt or pet fur, a soft microfiber cloth or handheld vacuum works great.
-
Air Out Occasionally: After a trip, unroll the mattress and let it breathe in a shaded, ventilated spot.
✅ No moisture gets inside. The foam is sealed tight in TPU. That’s why it stays odor-free and mold-free—even after years of use.
What If It’s Really Dirty?
Got back from a muddy, rainy camp? Here’s how to go a little deeper:
-
Unzip the outer shell (if your model has a removable cover).
-
Wipe with warm soapy water—TPU can handle mild cleaning agents.
-
Avoid abrasives or bleach: No need to scrub. The surface isn’t porous, so gentle works best.
-
Dry naturally: Avoid dryers or heaters—just leave it out in indirect sunlight or breezy air.
🧼 Pro tip: TPU cleans easier when you act fast. Don’t wait for spills to dry—wipe while fresh!

Long-Term Storage Tips
Want your mattress to stay adventure-ready for years?
-
Always store it dry: Even if the foam doesn’t absorb liquid, the shell should be moisture-free.
-
Avoid extreme heat: Don’t leave it rolled up in a hot car trunk for weeks.
-
Use a mattress protector or fitted sheet: Helps reduce surface grime and minimizes cleaning needs.
-
Let it rest flat occasionally: Unrolling for a day or two between trips helps the foam stay even and fresh.
