It is recommended that you change out your mattress every five to six years to get a good night’s sleep. Mattresses can be worn out and have wear and tear depending on how you use it and how long you use it for but it is generally a good idea to switch out your mattresses every five years to ensure that your shoulders, back and hips get the most support.
It can be tricky to tell whether it is time to buy a new mattress and we at Sleepyhead have come up with a few pointers to help you out.
- As mentioned earlier five years is a suitable time frame to use a mattress and switch it out for a new one. The heavier the load on the mattress the faster it may wear out.
- Some mattresses may sag and become uneven in a few spots over the years. This may lead you to toss and turn in your sleep since your body may not be getting enough support throughout the night and you may wake up feeling tired.
- It is really difficult to wash and clean mattresses in India and so it is good hygiene practice to buy a new one every few years. This will help reduce any allergies or itchiness caused by the dust and dirt collected in the mattress over the years.
- If your body has changed since you last bought your mattress then you should change the type of mattress or size of mattress you use. If you have lost or gained a significant amount of weight your current mattress may no longer offer you the required support needed. Mattresses may wear out quicker and last fewer years if the weight on it has increased. Secondly, if you have an additional sleeping partner you may have to upgrade and buy a double size mattress online to provide enough wiggle room for both.
Lastly, if you are moving to a new house or a new room you may have to buy a new mattress in a size that is appropriate for the room. A room may look too small or too big depending on the size of your current mattress. If you stay in a building which does not have a big enough elevator or stairway it may be a struggle to transfer your old mattress to the new house. Whereas when you buy a mattress online at Sleepyhead it will get delivered in a easy to carry and move box which can be transferred to its new location without any hassle.
