Reasons to change your mattress every 6 years

The average person spends 26 years of their life sleeping. And a further seven trying to fall asleep.

That is a lot of years dedicated to one piece of furniture.

As sleep is such a huge part of our lives and essential for overall health and well-being, ensuring those years are spent on a comfortable, supportive mattress should be a priority. That is why sleep experts recommend changing your mattress every 6 to 8 years.

Ask yourself – is your mattress ready for retirement?

Is it time to change your mattress?

How do you know when to change your mattress? Start with a simple age check. If it is older than 6 years, it is time to consider a new one.

Squeaky springs and visible signs of wear and tear are more obvious signs your mattress has passed its prime but waking up with stiff muscles or back pain are also an indication that your mattress is no longer performing as it should be.

You may even notice changes in health, like worsening asthma or allergy symptoms due to dust mites and allergens that have gathered into your mattress over the years.

Your mental health will also suffer if you keep waking up groggy in the mornings and going through the day with low energy due to coughing at night or simply because of the discomfort of an old, sagging mattress.

Generally, if a good night’s sleep has started to elude you, it is wise to consider if the age of your mattress is at fault.
