Not getting the sleep you’re dreaming of? It may be time to bounce your mattress.

While common belief is that you need to replace your mattress every 7–10 years, there may be signs even sooner that you’re lying in the wrong bed. In addition to looking for indications of wear and tear, keep in mind that our bodies change over time and the need for comfort and good support only increases with age, meaning even a mattress that is still “good” may now be bad for you.

Are you:

  • Waking up with aches and pains? This indicates your mattress is not giving the support you need.
  • Sleeping better in hotels than at home? There’s a good chance it’s because the bed is more comfortable.
  • Sneezing more than snoozing? Your mattress may be harboring allergens that can be preventing restful sleep.

Take a minute to assess your sleep sanctuary and determine if it’s time to make some changes. Consistent, restful sleep is priceless. A mattress that does its job well is a great investment.
