A mattress is
one of the most important purchases you make. It can make the difference
between a great night’s sleep and one where you struggle to get comfortable.
Mattresses have
a shelf life; unfortunately, they do not last forever, and, at some point, it
will become necessary to change your mattress.
When should I
get a new mattress?
Your mattress
should be replaced about every seven to ten years. However, this is just a
guideline and you can also see if it is time for a new mattress by assessing
how you feel after a night’s sleep.
If you are
finding that the quality of your sleep has worsened, it could be time to get a
new mattress. Perhaps you are tossing and turning more than you used to and
finding it hard to get comfortable at night?
Even worse, you
may be waking up with an aching back or feeling stiff. All of these are
symptoms that your mattress may be past its peak.
You can also
look at the physical state of your mattress. Is it sagging in any areas? Can
you feel any loose springs? If so, it is time to change your mattress.
When you wake up
in the morning, you want to feel rested and a new mattress could be necessary
for you to feel this.
How to choose
a new mattress
When you think
of how much time you actually spend in bed, a mattress is a real investment for
your health.
It is best to
see, feel and experience your mattress before buying a new one. Visit some bedding
shops, take off your shoes and see how comfortable each of the different types
of mattresses feel. You want your new mattress to be comfortable and to last
you for a long time, so it is worth taking your time to really discover the
best new mattress for you.
Protect your
new mattress
Once you have
chosen your new mattress, it is important to protect it so that it can last you
for years to come.
Choose a woollen
underlay to give you the ultimate night’s comfort and protect
your mattress. Having a wool underlay
will not only determine how comfortable you feel when you get into
bed but it can also provide you comfort throughout the night.
Having a natural
fibre like wool will ensure you remain cool throughout the night as it will
wick away any moisture that is present.
