How long does a mattress last?
Your bed is your sanctuary, the place where you rest your weary head after a long day of work, Netflix binging, and life. But did you know that your mattress has an expiry date? That’s right, just like a gallon of milk or a tub of hummus, your bed has a limited shelf life.
So when should you change it?
The general consensus among sleep experts is that you should change your bed every 7 to 10 years. Why, you ask? Well, for starters, over time, your mattress accumulates a delightful cocktail of dead skin cells, dust mites, and sweat. Yum!
Not only is this a little gross, but it can also impact the quality of your sleep. As your mattress ages, it becomes less supportive, which can lead to aches, pains, and restless nights. Plus, those dust mites we mentioned earlier? They can trigger allergies and asthma, which is definitely not the vibe you want when you’re trying to catch some Z’s.
A mattress protector is essential and will make a HUGE DIFFERENCE, but over time your bed will stop giving optimal support.
No, getting a new one is not a hassle
Fear not! Changing your bed doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Think of it as an opportunity to refresh your sleep game and treat yourself to a new cozy oasis. Plus, have you seen the latest mattress technology? It’s like something out of a sci-fi movie. From cooling gels to memory foam, the options are endless.

Time for you to change?
So, if you’ve been sleeping on the same mattress for the better part of a decade, it’s time to bid it adieu and upgrade to something new and exciting. Your body (and your allergies) will thank you, and you’ll wake up feeling more refreshed and ready to tackle the day.
