You knew this relationship would someday end as most others do. All the awesome (and not so awesome) nights cozying up… well, that has to end sometime, right? But the question is, do you know when?
Do you wait until you see rips, tears and a flabby mattress before you say, “That is it! I need a new mattress”? Is it time to replace your mattress?
Whether you bought your mattress from one of the best mattress dealers in the world or not, truth is, a day will come when you need to replace it. Research says to replace your mattress every 10 years, but let us face it – if your romance with your mattress is causing you more pain and less joy, you may need to say goodbye earlier than research suggests.
Here are some signs you may need to start searching for a new mattress.
Pains All Over
If you wake up to new pains in different parts of your body, your mattress may have lost its protective power. Because mattresses are one of the most used items in the house, they lose their ability to support your body properly when used over a long period of time.
Lumpy…No, Saggy
If you are bouncing between these two words to describe how your mattress feels, it may be time to start looking for a replacement. If you feel pains in your body, check your mattress for lumps and impressions. If the impressions are more than 1.5 inches deep, it is time to get it replaced.
Itching and Sneezing 
Over time, beds attract substances that may result in itches, breakouts or sneezes. If you notice these occasionally, your bed may be holding on to more than you want to know. A cozy new mattress can ease you of this, so you should consider it.
You are Getting Older
As you get older, the firmness level of your mattress needs to be improved to deal with back pain. The older you get, the firmer your mattress need be.
Your Bed no Longer Feels Super Comfortable
We all know that saying “No place like home” for most people that expression also includes their bed. When you no longer enjoy your night sleep or feel relaxed it is time to address why. Hint – it may have something to do with your mattress needing a change.
Sleep is important to your overall health and productivity, so you need to make sure your mattress is perfect to ensure a sound night sleep.
