This is a question people just don’t ask enough. Even though we use our mattresses for an average of 1/3 of each day, year after year, we tend to take them for granted until it’s painfully obvious they’re worn out. Try asking yourself the following questions:
Did I buy my mattress more than 8 years ago? Most mattresses have a useful life between 8 and 10 years. After that, their support and comfort properties diminish.
Do I wake up feeling just as tired, if not MORE tired, than when I went to bed? You should wake up pain-free and feeling rejuvenated and ready to start the day.
Are there obvious signs of wear? These signs include sagging, depressions or body imprinting, fraying seams or worn through areas where the comfort layers, coils or foams are exposed.
