Short answer
We steam-sanitize vinyl and coated hospital-bed mattresses, along with regular home mattresses. We don't service powered air, low-air-loss or alternating-pressure mattresses. Check the maker's instructions first: if they rule out steam or heat, we don't use it. For a rented bed, check with the supplier before booking.

Hospital beds in the home come with different surfaces. Knowing which one a client has saves a wasted trip.
What we service
- Vinyl and coated hospital-bed mattresses. These are foam mattresses with a fluid-resistant coated cover. We steam-sanitize the top surface and all four sides, and keep steam away from zippers and any electrical parts.
- Regular home mattresses, in any size.
What we don't service
- Powered air mattresses
- Low-air-loss mattresses
- Alternating-pressure mattresses
These have pumps, air cells or electrical parts. If you see a pump, hose or control unit, it's not one we service. Our aging-in-place article explains why we don't clean air and alternating-pressure mattresses.
Check the maker's instructions
The FDA advises checking hospital bed mattresses and covers "according to the manufacturer's guidelines." We follow the manufacturer's instructions too: if they rule out steam or heat, we don't use it. For a rented bed, check with the DME supplier before booking.
Sleep Sanitation's view
This section is our view. Agencies that group visits by area are route-efficiency partners and get reduced agency rates: request agency rates. We carry a certificate of insurance, available on request, and run background checks under our hiring policy, including a national sex offender registry check. Sleep Sanitation serves Omaha, Lincoln and surrounding towns. Every visit includes dry vapor steam with the mattress surface verified at 212°F or higher with a temperature gun, HEPA vacuuming, UV-C light treatment and a moisture check before we leave. Allow 1–2 hours per mattress. Our technician removes the mattress protector during the visit and leaves a one-time supply of special detergent sheets for washing it. Enzyme treatment is used on urine. Every visit ends with a Service Summary, and a copy can go to the agency with the client's or family's permission. The first mattress is $199 Fall 2026 special (regularly $249); additional mattresses in the same visit are $199 for a king or California king, $179 for a full or queen and $149 for a twin or kids bed. Severe soiling carries a surcharge, disclosed before any work starts. Call or text (402) 512-5658, or email info@sleepsanitation.com.
