Good sleep is crucial to maintaining optimal health and well-being, and the role of a quality mattress can't be overstated. May marks the May Be Time For A New Mattress campaign, spearheaded by the National Bed Federation (NBF).

Here, we’ll dive into the eight signs that suggest it might be time to consider replacing your old mattress.

Waking Up Unrefreshed and Aching

A restful night's sleep should leave you feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle the day ahead. If you consistently wake up feeling unrefreshed and experience aches and pains, your mattress might not be providing the adequate support your body needs.

Lack of Space

Comfortable sleep requires enough space to move and stretch. If you find yourself constantly on the edge of your bed or bumping into your partner, it might be time to upgrade to a larger size.

Age of Your Mattress

The lifespan of a mattress can vary, but a good rule of thumb is to replace it every 7 to 10 years. Over time, mattresses can lose their shape, support, and comfort, so if yours is approaching or has surpassed this age range, it's likely time for a new one.

Sleeping Better Elsewhere

If you find yourself getting a better night's sleep on a hotel bed or even a friend’s guest bed, it could be an indication that your mattress isn't cutting it anymore.

Sagging and Rolling

A clear sign that your mattress needs replacement is if it sags or has significant indentations, causing you to roll toward the middle. This can lead to poor sleep posture and discomfort.

Noises in the Night

Old mattresses can start to make creaking or crunching sounds, which are often due to worn-out springs or broken materials within. These noises can be disruptive to your sleep.

Worn Out Base

The condition of your bed base can also affect the comfort and effectiveness of your mattress. Loose or worn-out castors and a lumpy or dipping base can undermine the support your mattress provides.
