You’re tired after a long day at work and you hit the bed, but to your surprise, you feel like something’s off. The mattress doesn’t feel as firm as before or you can feel lumps throughout, leaving you tossing and turning all night. If you’re not sleeping comfortably and not waking up fresh anymore, it’s time to inspect your mattress. 

Replacing your mattress can go a long way toward helping you sleep well. A new mattress can not only fix your sleep issues but also boost your mood and productivity levels.

Here are 5 signs that tell you it’s time you need a new mattress:

• Sinking & Sagging: There are areas where you sink involuntarily or the sagging feeling doesn’t let you sleep. The mattress has lost its firmness and you can feel the center dipping more than usual. The structural integrity of the mattress may have been worn off and if your body impression stays even after a while, it’s time to look for a new mattress.

• You Have New Allergies: Are you sneezing more often or have an itch that won’t go away? Check your mattress for any dust mites or molds. An aging mattress will trap more allergens that can trigger your allergies. This may affect your sleep quality and cause a bad mood the next day. So replace your old one with a new one, preferably with Silver Ion Infused Fabric that is dust, virus, and bacteria resistant. 

• It’s Aging: Is your mattress 6-7 years old? If yes, then consider replacing it. This also depends on the type of mattress you have and if it gets creaky or worn out too soon, it’s time to get a new mattress. 

• You Wake Up In Pain: Besides poor sleep, if your body feels sore from all the back aches and knee pains, your mattress may be to blame. This is because it’s probably not supportive anymore, leaving you in discomfort and as you toss & turn every night, your exhaustion gets worse. An unsupportive mattress may also be bad for your back and negatively impact your spinal alignment. So buy a new one right away if you’d like to experience pain-free sleep. 

• You Can Feel Lumps: If your bed is not even anymore and you feel lumps when you lie down, whether in the center or throughout, this is when you need a new mattress. Not only will this cause poor sleep but also mess up your spinal posture, so book a supportive and premium mattress right away. 

If you’re experiencing any of these sleeping issues, look for a high-quality mattress, preferably one with supportive features and a cool sleeping experience.
