We all hate change and there are some things we simply don’t want to get rid of. That comfy pair of pants or old sweater that has kept you so warm in the winter – but eventually it’s time for everything to go. Out with the old and in with the new. Mattresses too are often one of those difficult-to-let-go-of items which people hold onto for too long.
There’s something about that old friend that you spend about a third of your life on that makes it so difficult to change, but unfortunately, keeping a mattress for too long can be highly detrimental to your health. It’s a good idea, therefore, to know when the time has come to make a change – so to assist you, here are the top 5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Mattress! – they are easy to remember too as they all start with ‘S’ for Sleep!
- Sleeping badly – One of the first signs could be that you are simply not sleeping as well as you used to. Of course, there are other reasons for poor sleeping, but your mattress can be at the core of sleeping issues. If a mattress is over 8 years old, it can give rise to some of these problems…
- Soreness – A mattress that has lost its firmness and full postural support will invariably lead to muscular aches and pains in the morning. Pain in the neck, shoulders, lower back and hips are all the result of a mattress that is no longer correctly supporting the curvature of your spine.
- Sickness – This particularly appertains to allergies and bites.Allergies can be caused by the allergens and faeces of Dust mites that are built up in a mattress – and after a certain period of time no matter how much cleaning you do, even out of the allergy season, you can still be affected.
- Sweating – One of the lesser-known signs of a deteriorating mattress is if you start being prone to night sweats – and as we have discussed many times, being too hot is one of the most prominent sleep disruptors. Over time, particularly in the case of all foam mattresses, the materials will soften and restrict the airflow on the surface.
- Showing signs of wear and tear – One thing that cannot be ignored, particularly in the case of very old mattresses is simple wear and tear. The commonest of these is a mattress sagging in the middle, so you feel like you’re sleeping in a hammock – and of course other things like lumps and torn material. If it’s a spring mattress and the coils start sticking into you – it’s definitely time to replace it!
