Signs That You Need A New Mattress
Determining when it’s time for a new mattress can be tricky, but it’s a good idea to check in every once in a while to make sure you’re getting the best sleep possible. Like most things, the lifespan of your mattress can depend on how well you’ve cared for it over time, but there are some signs beyond counting the years that can help you to tell when it’s time for a replacement. To help you out, we’ve collected some tell-tale signs.
Your Mattress Is Looking Worn Out
If you can’t remember when you bought your mattress, odds are it needs replacing. The general rule of thumb is to replace your mattress every eight to ten years, in order to make sure you’re getting the best out of it. Do a visual check for stains, sags, or lumps; if your mattress is starting to look like Jake Peralta’s mattress on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, then it’s really (really, really) time for a new one.
