When should you get a new bed? 5 signs to watch for
When should you get a new bed?
We spend a third of our lives in bed, yet most of us don’t give our mattresses the attention they deserve. If you’re waking up feeling groggy, achy, or just plain tired, it might be time to consider upgrading to a new mattress.
Here are 5 signs that it’s time to say goodbye to your old bed:
-
You wake up feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck
If you’re waking up feeling stiff, sore, or achy, it’s a sure sign that your mattress isn’t providing the support your body needs. A good mattress should contour to your body’s shape and evenly distribute your weight to alleviate pressure points.
-
Your mattress is starting to resemble a lumpy pancake
If you’ve had your mattress for a while, it’s likely that it has started to sag or develop lumps. This can be a sign that the materials inside the mattress have broken down and are no longer providing adequate support.
-
You hear creaks and groans
If your mattress is making a lot of noise, it’s time to start shopping for a new one. A good mattress should be silent, allowing you to drift off into dreamland without any distractions.
-
You can’t remember the last time you replaced it
If you’ve been sleeping on the same mattress for longer than seven years, it’s probably time to consider replacing it. Over time, mattresses can lose their shape and support, leading to poor sleep quality and even back pain.
-
You’re waking up more often than a newborn
If you’re tossing and turning all night or waking up frequently, it could be a sign that your mattress isn’t providing the comfort and support you need for a good night’s sleep. Upgrading to a new mattress can help you sleep more soundly and wake up feeling refreshed.
In conclusion, if you’re experiencing any of these signs, it’s time to start shopping for a new mattress. Your body (and your sleepy brain) will thank you for it!
