A quality mattress is essential for a getting a good night’s rest. However, many people fail to replace their mattress often enough to stave off many common health problems. Although people overlook the health benefits offered by a quality mattress, research is beginning to show the importance of replacing a mattress regularly. If you are wondering how often you should change your mattress, then here is what you need to know about the benefits of replacing your mattress along with the signs to watch out for that signal it is time to upgrade to a new mattress.  

When to Replace your Mattress?

  Health Benefits of Mattress Replacement Allergies are currently on the rise throughout the world, and many of these allergies can be attributed to dust mites. It might be upsetting to consider the idea that there could be thousands of mites crawling in your mattress, but it is likely true. These mites feed on the microscopic flakes of skin that you shed while sleeping, and many people are allergic to their droppings. For those who have not replaced their mattress in years, changing to a new one can help to reduce allergies. Mattress covers can also be used to further enhance the benefits that a new mattress can have for a person’s allergies. In addition to reducing allergies, a new mattress can offer more support throughout the night. This can help improve sleep for those who tend to suffer from aches and pains throughout the night. Those who suffer from back problems will also benefit from the increased support offered by a new mattress. Finally, better sleep will lead to more energy throughout the day and improved overall physical well-being. Signs You Need to Replace Your Mattress The amount of time that a mattress will last depends upon several factors. A mattress made from quality materials should last between seven to ten years; however, cheaper mattresses will be likely to wear out faster. Your personal habits will also play a role in how long your mattress can last. Those who are older, overweight or who experience a pest infestation may need to change their mattress more frequently. Generally, a mattress will begin to show visible signs of wear over time. When inspecting your mattress, you may notice lumps, sagging portions or broken springs. Stains and dirt could also signify a dust mite or bed bug infestation that will require immediate replacement. It is also important to note that a mattress cover may prevent dirt and stains, but it will not guard against wear on the materials that provide support. Therefore, you will want to remove the cover to inspect the condition of the springs, padding and outer fabric. A mattress in need of replacement may also leave you with achy muscles when you wake up. You may notice that you feel less rested in the morning. It is also common to notice that your mattress is less comfortable than one that you may have slept on while away on holiday. If your physical health has recently changed, such as through a recent injury, then you may also need to consider upgrading to a mattress that offers the right kind of support for your new physical needs. Maintaining a Regular Schedule for Replacement Experts recommend inspecting your mattress twice a year for signs of wear. This can be done by scheduling a date on your calendar every six months or by tying the inspection to obvious days such as your birthday. Then, be sure to take care of your mattress by rotating it each month and pay attention to your nightly rest to determine if your mattress is ready for replacement. Although most mattresses should be replaced every seven years, it is important to be aware of the signs of a mattress that needs to be replaced sooner. A lack of restful sleep, obvious lumps or staining all signify a need to replace the mattress so that you can benefit from advantages of a quality mattress can offer for restful sleep.
