3 Signs It’s Time To Get A New Mattress
While it’s easy to see a mattress as merely something we sleep on, which can last ten or twenty years, the reality is that our quality of sleep directly affects our quality of life. Waking up refreshed, free of back or neck pain, and having a great day relies nearly completely on your quality of sleep. Is your sleep a quality sleep? If any of the following are true, then probably not.
1. Your Mattress Has No Support
Some mattresses simply have no support for one’s back, shoulders and neck. And, while many mattress do, these too will eventually lose the support they once had. If you find yourself waking up with neck or back pain despite the use of a good pillow, it may be time to get a new mattress.
If your mattress hasn’t lost support to the point of causing you pain as of yet, another good warning sign is simple wear and tear. Lumps, dips or holes in a mattress are a sure sign that you’re not getting the right support, or soon won’t be. A worn out mattress isn’t just an eyesore as some might think, it’s a hazard.
2. Allergy Problems
Do you find yourself sneezing more in bed than anywhere else? With the exception of some of the latest memory foam and anti-allergenic mattresses, your mattress accumulates dust and allergens over time, causing fitful nights of coughing and sneezing. If this sounds like you, it may be time to get a new mattress.
3. Your Current Mattress Is Seven Years Old
Dead skin, oil, moisture and dustmites will, overtime, absorb into your mattress to the point where the mattress’ weight increases significantly. Colonies of dustmites leaving dropping within a mattress will eventually double a mattress’ weight! Double! If your mattress has been around for seven or more years, in use or otherwise, it’s probably a good idea to get it replaced.
