New year, new mattress

Does a new year call for a new mattress?

At the start of a new year we like to set out to make changes, to make the new year better for yourself or in general with small changes or resolutions.

So why don’t we make the resolution to update our sleep health? Sleep health is a factor in most people’s lives that is usually overlooked, because we're not exactly knowledgeable as to what may be affecting our quality of sleep whilst we have drifted off.

But there is one main factor that affects sleep health which is your mattress and how it supports your body during your sleeping hours. So does a new year call for a new mattress? Next Divan are here to answer all your questions!

How old is your mattress?

Every mattress needs replacing after 6-8 years or maybe earlier if you begin to find lumps and bumps causing discomfort to your body. It is important to replace your mattress after 6-8 years as they are the main harborer of dust mites in your home, this is especially important if you struggle with allergies and asthma as your old mattress will worsen your symptoms massively. Secondly if your mattress is sagging or dipping in certain areas from where your body lays, this is a sign of age and that it needs throwing out and replacing! This leads to unevenness in your mattress which leads to it negatively impacting you sleep and causing back pain. 

Thirdly, if your mattress is making more noise than usual from noisy springs it is time to update it. The springs causing the noise as you move in your sleep are likely to wake up you or your partner and disrupt your quality of sleep and increase the amount of times you wake up in the night. 

Noticing you sleep better at somebody else’s house? Hotels? Or even on the sofa? Well this is a sign you may need a new mattress. You may not notice the negative effect your mattress is having on your sleep as you become used to it, but feeling more refreshed sleeping on a different mattress is a sign that the root of your issue is that you need to invest in a new one.

Lastly, suffering from joint, muscle and back pain which becomes most noticeable when you wake up on a morning and persists through the day is a sign you need a new mattress. Any sign of pain after sleep is a major tell tale sign that you need to buy a new one. After a full night's sleep you should feel alive and refreshed, any new noticeable pain is an issue.

Which mattress should I switch to? 

The majority of us are still in lockdown right now, which is also a reason as to why you may be noticing issues with you mattress as were spending a lot more time in bed. Whether you are working or studying from your bed or just relaxing more due to being furloughed, now is a better time than ever to treat your body to a new sleeping experience.
