Sleep is a fundamental part of leading a healthy life. One critical factor contributing to good sleep is having a comfortable, supportive mattress. But how often should you replace your mattress and what are the signs you need a new one? Let’s take a closer look at these questions.
The life of a mattress typically falls between 7 to 10 years, depending on the quality, material and usage. Using it past its life span can negatively affect your health. However, this is a generalized guideline, it’s also crucial to pay attention to certain signs suggesting the need for a replacement.
Lack of Comfort
The primary purpose of a mattress is to provide comfort. If you’re constantly tossing and turning in bed or waking up with aches and pains, it might indicate that your mattress has lost its ability to offer appropriate support and comfort.
Deteriorating Conditions
Wear and tear are common with mattresses. Stains, discoloration, sagging, lumps or coils poking through are physical reasons to replace your mattress. These are clear signs your mattress is deteriorating, affecting the quality of your sleep.
Increased Allergies or Asthma
Over time, mattresses collect dust mites and allergens, triggering asthma and allergic reactions. If you find yourself sneezing, experiencing itchy eyes, or worse, asthma symptoms, your mattress may have accumulated allergens and it’s time for a new one.
Your Body Changes
Changes in your lifestyle, like gaining or losing weight or acquiring injuries, can impact the ideal mattress for your needs. If such changes arise, and you’re no longer comfortable with your current mattress, consider an upgrade.
Poor Sleep Quality
If you’re sleeping better on a couch or another bed than your own, this is a strong indication you need a new mattress.
Replacing your old mattress with a new one can significantly improve the quality of your sleep, as well your overall health and well-being. While deciding on a new mattress, consider opting for a ‘luxury mattress‘. Despite the slightly higher price tag, a luxury mattress is often made from top grade materials, offering superior comfort and longevity.
Remember, a mattress is a crucial element of your sleep environment. Regularly assessing its state will help ensure you are getting the quality sleep needed for a healthy lifestyle. Don’t hesitate to replace it when needed. After all, a good night’s sleep is priceless!
