Do you need a new mattress?

Do you need a new mattress?

Are you tired of restless nights and waking up feeling more fatigued than when you went to bed? It might be time to shake things up in the bedroom by changing one of the most crucial components of your sleep experience – your mattress. 

Whether you're experiencing discomfort, or simply looking to create a luxurious bedroom, the quest for a new mattress could be an essential component in creating your ultimate haven.  In this article, we'll explore the signs that indicate it's time for a new mattress.

Signs that you need a new mattress

  1. You can’t remember when you bought it

    It is possible that your mattress could be the culprit and should be replaced in due course! If you’ve moved house multiple times, or are sleeping on a decades-old mattress it’s time for a refresh!

  2. You wake with aches and pains

    If you’re waking up with sore shoulders and hips, or are more frequently complaining of backache, your mattress could be the culprit! Over time your sleeping position is likely to change or your mattress could start to sag and provide an inadequate level of support. Learn how to find a mattress for your requirements here.

  3. You feel tired every morning

    If getting out of bed every morning feels like a Herculean feat, it might be a sign that your mattress is causing unnecessary problems. Often, when we toss and turn at night and wake up feeling less than refreshed. If you’re sticking to your bedtime, and still consistently waking up wanting to hit ‘snooze’ on your alarm, it’s time to make a change.

  4. You’re fighting for space

    Is your mattress playing referee in the nightly battle for space? If you and your partner are unintentionally engaged in a midnight dance-off for bed real estate, it's high time to consider a mattress upgrade for peaceful co-sleeping.

  5. Your health is suffering

    If you’re finding yourself getting a little bunged up in bed, it can be a sign to invest in a new mattress. Over time your mattress will collect dust particles, and this can be the cause of your nightly sniffles.

  6. Your mattress has lumps and bumps

    Sleeping on a mountain range is not good for your posture! If your mattress has developed lumps and bumps, it can be a sign that it's past its prime.

  7. It’s started to sag

    If your mattress is sagging, then it's time to bid it farewell! Sagging usually occurs in areas of high pressure and can cause reduced support.

The upsides of a new mattress

Now that you've identified the signs that it might be time to move on from your old mattress, let's talk about the benefits of upgrading to a brand-new one.

  • Restful nights

    A new mattress can drastically improve the quality of your sleep. Say hello to those sweet dreams you've been missing!

  • Pain-relief

    If you've been waking up with aches and pains, a new mattress can assist in better support to your back, neck, and shoulders.

  • Allergy-friendly

    Opt for a hypoallergenic mattress like our Drift range of mattresses can assist with late night allergies.

  • Quality rest

    A new mattress can help you with any more creaking and groaning in the middle of the night. To ensure the quietest and most comfortable night’s sleep possible, investing in a high-quality mattress is important. Both spring and foam mattresses are designed to isolate motion and prevent disturbances, whether it’s your partner rolling over, or a creaky bed frame.
