A mattress is essential furniture in your bedroom because it is where you take a rest after a long day of work. Like any other thing, it will also need replacement after some time. It’s to ensure that it still gives the comfort and support that it should bring. How will you know if it’s time to change your mattress? Here are some signs.
It’s over seven years old
According to experts, mattresses require changing every 7 to 10 years. However, this is not always the case since it will also depend on how well you take care of your mattress. Some mattresses will last longer than this, but if it reaches this age, you may still want to check the other signs to see if it’s time for you to make a change.
You have body pains and aches
As the mattress gets old, it may no longer offer the same support as it did before. Some of the parts may sag. Since there is no proper support for your body, you may wake up with muscle pains in various body parts. If you often experience waking up with aches all over your body, your old mattress is probably the culprit, and it is perhaps time to replace it.
It’s no longer comfortable
If you find yourself tossing and turning in your bed, trying to find a comfortable spot, your mattress may no longer be serving its purpose. Various parts may lose their compression over time, causing them to sag. It will no longer have the perfect firmness that it once had, which provided comfort to your body. You will have difficulties sleeping if you are not comfortable in your bed.
You hear squeaks
It’s not just your mattress that needs checking. If you hear squeaks, check the bed frame and box spring under it. If the springs are broken or the frame has broken parts, it may also cause sagging to the mattress, which in turn will provide discomfort. Change the box spring or bed frame if they are damaged, and keep the mattress if it’s still in decent shape.
It has an obvious sag
If you notice a sag in the mattress, it can be a sign that it needs replacement. However, remember that a broken bed frame or box spring may also cause sagging. Make sure to check them too as it may not be the mattress that will need replacing but one of the two.
Aside from the signs mentioned, if you have had a significant weight change, you may also need to buy a new mattress to ensure that you get the support that you need. It may suddenly be too soft for you if you gained or lost a large amount of weight.
