How to Tell if You Need a New Mattress?

Sleep is vital to your health and well-being. Your body needs a good night's sleep in order to re-energize and prepare for the day ahead. Poor sleep can have negative effects on memory, cognitive skills, digestion and many other aspects of your life. The wrong mattress - one that is worn out or poorly suited to your needs - can cause you to toss and turn, and lose valuable sleep. Sleeping on the right mattress - one that is well suited to your needs for comfort, support and space - can help you sleep better.

Sometimes it is obvious that your old mattress has seen better days; sagging, creaking, worn ticking and protruding coils are good signs it is time for a new mattress. But sometimes it isn't quite so obvious. How do you know if your mattress is robbing you of sleep? Well, try answering these simple questions:

1. Do you wake up with pain or stiffness?
2. Are you not sleeping as well now as you were a year ago?
3. Have you had your best night's sleep somewhere other than your own bed?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, a new mattress may help you sleep better.
