Is It Time For A New Mattress?

Do you remember the last time you got a really great night's sleep? Perhaps it wasn't even in your own bed. Where were you? A hotel? Your
favorite easy chair?

All too often, the answer is somewhere other than your own bed. But you should be getting your best night's sleep on your own mattress. If you
find you're not sleeping as well as you should in your own bed, you may want to consider that your mattress and foundation could be robbing
you of sleep. It may be time for a new mattress if:









Too often, people are unaware that their mattress is no longer meeting their needs. You can avoid sleepless nights by carefully evaluating the
comfort and support of your sleep set twice a year to make sure your personal comfort preferences are still being met. If you're still not sure
whether your mattress is stealing your sleep, you may want to visit your local retailer to compare the comfort and support of new sleep sets in
the store with your old set at home.

Mattress Life Span

Your mattress won't last forever. A combination of factors works together to determine how long your mattress will provide optimum comfort
and support.


It's All About You









It's Also About Your Mattress
*
You wake up with pain, stiffness or soreness
*
You are not sleeping as well as you were a year ago
*
You had your best night's sleep somewhere other than your own bed.
*
Your mattress shows visible signs of wear and tear.
*
Lifestyle
Changes in lifestyle, such as moving into a new home or getting married, may call for a change in your
mattress.
*
Your Body
As we age, our bodies change. What was comfortable and supportive when you were 25 may not meet
your needs when you're 35 or 45. Likewise, the amount of space that's right for a six-year-old may not
be enough for a 16-year-old. Make sure that every mattress in your home meets the sleeper's current
needs for comfort, support and space.
*
Age
Don't look to the age of your mattress or the warranty to determine whether it's time for a new
mattress. Neither are indicators of how long your mattress will maintain optimum comfort and
support.
*
Quality
A poor-quality mattress set can deteriorate quickly, while top-quality sets can provide comfort and
support for a number of years.
*
Use
A mattress set that is used nightly or that gets more of a workout (e.g., you watch television or read in
bed) will lose its comfort and support more quickly than a set that is used less often, such as a guest
room bed.
*
Care
Improper care can shorten the life of a mattress. See Mattress Care Tips for more information.
