Five Signs Your Mattress Needs Replacing

Five Signs Your Mattress Needs Replacing
The mattress is the single most important part of any bed. But over time even the finest orthopedic mattresses wear out, sleep and rest stop being comfortable, and the mattress has to be replaced.

The telltale signs of a worn-out mattress


You can spot a worn mattress by the following characteristic signs.

  1. One of the clearest signs that your mattress is past its best is waking up with pain in your back, neck or joints after a night’s sleep or a long lie-down. 
  2. Another sign of wear is sagging. If dips, hollows or bulges have appeared on the surface, it is time to swap the old mattress for a new one. 
  3. Loss of resilience is easy to notice. Over time, orthopedic foam and springs lose their properties, and the mattress no longer supports the body properly.
  4. It is also worth knowing that dust builds up inside a mattress with use, and that dust can trigger respiratory illness. If those symptoms appear, that is one more reason to think about a replacement.
  5. Some mattresses have cooling properties, gel models in particular. As they wear, those properties fade, which makes sleep uncomfortable, especially in hot weather.
Bear in mind that even one of these signs is reason enough to replace the mattress. Do not put the trip to the furniture store off indefinitely, because the longer you wait, the more likely it is to cost you your health.

Where to buy a new mattress


The best option is to buy a mattress from a certified distributor. That way you get a warranty, which means you can return the product for a refund or exchange it. 

Take the dimensions of your bed into account as well, if you sleep on one. The mattress needs to be large enough to give you a comfortable place to sleep.

Before replacing a mattress, decide how much you are prepared to spend. Mattresses come in a wide range of price brackets, and setting an upper limit will narrow the field.

Mattresses come in these types:

  • innerspring; 
  • polyurethane foam;
  • latex; 
  • gel. 
Each type has its own characteristics. Ask a salesperson or a specialist at the mattress store which type best suits your needs.
