 13 Signs That Clearly Says Your Mattress Requires Replacing

Do you know that we spend about 1/3^rd of our lifetime sleeping. Therefore, it is very important to know if your mattress is doing its job well. You require a brand new mattress, when you see the below signs:

1. You Start Getting Neck Or Back Pain After You Wake Up

If this sounds more like you, then know that your mattress is the culprit. If left unnoticed, your old mattress has the ability to cause severe health problems for you.

2. You Get Up With Stiffness

Chances are that your body is only been supported by a part of your mattress whereas other parts might have broken or sagged.

3. Check Your Mattress Condition

If the mattress looks very old, then it should be changed with a new one. On the other hand, if you find any dips on the mattress, sags along its sides / in the middle, or has worn out, then know that it is time to replace your mattress.

4. Your Lifestyle Could Also Call For A “New” Mattress

Sometimes even your lifestyle can make you buy a brand new mattress. Chances are that you might be spending a lot of time on your mattress – probably sleeping, sitting, reading a book or working with your laptop.

5. Your Body Changes Might Also Ask You To Replace Your Mattress

Our body changes as time pass, which in turn affects your mattress’s longevity too. Gaining and losing weight is deeply connected with your mattress. Pregnancy also modifies the stress put on a mattress, just the way kids jump on it. Often the way our body behaves tells us to get a new one.

6. Check How Comfortable Is Your Mattress?

Its important for you to wake up fresh. Even if you don’t find any warning signs, which says it is time to change your mattress, you’ll be still surprised to see how much comfortable you feel after you get a new one.

7. Check Its Duration

So, when was the last you changed your mattress? Has it been more than 10 years? If yes, then pay attention.

8. You Feel More Comfortable On Mattresses Other Than Yours

If you happen to sit on your relatives or friends bed and find out that their mattresses are more comfortable than yours, then know that there is something wrong and its time to replace one.

9. Your Mattress Is Noisy Or Creaky

Pings and creaks coming from your mattress is yet another sign that it is getting old.

10. You Begin Feeling Its Springs

A very clear sign, which tells that your mattress has broken or degraded and requires replacing is when you feel those springs on your body.

11. You Start Waking Up At Nights

Yet another sign that makes you replace your mattress is when you start waking up at nights. You are obviously uncomfortable, which is why you are lacking sleep.

12. You Observe A “Dip” At Its Middle

If you happen to see part of your mattress worn out, broken or probably observe a dip in the middle, then know that you got to change. This ensures that you have a comfortable sleep all night.

13. Check With Your Spouse

If your spouse is turning and tossing all night, then it possibly means that your mattress is no longer giving the support like it should. So, change it.

Check Your Pillows Too

The case of your pillows is entirely different. If you are keeping your favorite pillows for too long, then pay attention. Pillows must be changed every 6 months. We talk how nasty our mattress gets — however, pillows are more often forgotten.

Tip To Sustain Your Mattress’s Longevity

Turn the mattress often to extend its life. Whenever you do this or when you replace its sheets, take time to check for your mattress properly. Consider evaluating its condition. Look at the box spring too.
