Mattresses tend to wear down over time, so you might not even realize once they’re past their prime.
You might love your trusty mattress. After all, you’ve spent every night together for plenty of years. But the connection between you and your mattress is slowly wearing away with every night’s rest. There is no real expiration date for your bed. It’s not going to suddenly break down and become useless one day like a dead car battery. Mattresses tend to wear down over time, so you might not even realize once they’re past their prime. One question to consider, when is the right time for a mattress upgrade? Here are a couple of things to consider.
New Mattress = New You
If you are doing your best to get the recommended eight hours of sleep a night but can’t seem to get the rest you need, you might be a prime candidate for a mattress upgrade. Switching to a new mattress can immediately improve your sleep quality, as well as help support your back from any pain.
Most Wait Too Long
While there isn’t a rule about how long all mattresses last, it’s suggested that most have a lifespan of around seven years. People usually tend to consistently keep their beds for over ten years or more on average. That’s hundreds of nights dealing with a worn-out sleep system. This is when it’s time for a mattress upgrade.
Your Age Matters
It is not just the age of your mattress that matters. Around the time we hit 40 years old, our bodies become a bit more sensitive to pressure. This means sleeping on a lumpy mattress when you’re older is much more likely to lead to tossing and turning throughout the night. In other words, you need to think about the state of your mattress more frequently the older you get.
How to Tell Your Mattress Has Too Many Miles
Think of your old mattress like a well-worn shoe. It probably feels great when you put that shoe on because, over time, it has stretched and molded to perfectly fit onto your foot. But the cushioning is compressed from repeated use. Your old mattress is the same way. If you feel like you wake up stiff or numb, feel lumps, notice tears in the fabric, or sleep better on a couch or hotel mattress, then it might be time for a new mattress upgrade.
