Generally, people know when a piece of furniture has reached its end stage. Your favorite chair starts getting a hole or two or the table legs of the coffee table start spreading apart. You sigh and start looking for new furniture, but one place you hardly think about is the mattress. You sleep on it every night, but even when its years past its prime, people still sleep on it. Is it time for you to get a new mattress?

Quality of Sleep

If you want to function at full capacity, then your body needs good sleep. If you’re waking up again and again in the night because you’re uncomfortable or if you sleep all night, but still feel tired in the morning, then your mattress probably needs the old heave ho. The body needs deep sleep and an old mattress isn’t giving you the comfort needed to reach that state. Instead, you’re tossing and turning when you should be dreaming.

Age

It’s not easy getting older and that goes double for a mattress. Your average mattress can last about 8-10 years, but if it gets abuse…such as children jumping up and down on it…then it may need to be replaced sooner. Over time, the mattress loses support, and you might see dips and sags where you normally sleep. Without that support, your sleep is compromised. If your mattress has survived through two presidencies, then it’s time to start looking for something new.

Pain

We all have those days when we wake up and our back hurts. We shrug it off as sleeping in a bad position and go on with our day. Soon, those occasional days become more frequent and eventually it’s every night. If you wake up with aches and pains that disappear once you’re up and out of bed, then you need a new mattress. The pain is caused by a lack of support and your body is contorted into a painful position. It may feel fine when you go to sleep, but after several hours of being in the same spot, it can take a toll.
