First things first, the original comfort and support life of a mattress is typically about 5-7 years, depending on the quality of your sleep set. Yes, many manufacturers offer longer warranties, but those warranties usually cover defects in manufacturing rather than the wearability, comfort, or support life of the mattress.
So, how do you know it’s time to replace your mattress? Here are some telltale signs:
You wake up with a backache that goes away during the day.
You don’t look forward to going to bed because you know your sleep won’t be restful.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to start shopping for a new mattress. But no matter where you decide to shop, here’s how to do it right:
Step 1: Prioritize Proper Alignment
Look for a sleep set that keeps your body properly aligned. This means your back should remain as straight as possible in your natural sleeping position—the one you usually wake up in. Proper alignment is key to a good night’s sleep.
Step 2: Choose Comfort Within Your Budget
Once you’ve found a mattress that provides the support you need, select the one that feels most comfortable and fits your budget. Comfort and support go hand in hand for quality sleep.
Step 3: Consider Temperature Regulation
Are you a hot sleeper? Or do you find yourself waking up cold? Temperature regulation is an important factor when selecting your new mattress. Many modern mattresses offer features to help with this.
Bonus Tip: The Benefits of Adjustable Bases
Adjustable bases aren’t just about luxury—they can actually improve your health and comfort. For instance, they can help with:
Acid reflux
Post-nasal drip
Snoring
And if you’re looking for added safety, freedom, and mobility, check out the NIROPEDIC Lift & Tilt, our exclusive Hi-Low adjustable bed. It does everything a traditional adjustable base does but also lifts vertically and tilts for inclined sleep therapy, all at the touch of a button.
Don’t Forget the Pillows
Your pillow is the bed for your head, and it’s just as important as your mattress. In fact, your pillow accounts for up to 20% of the comfort and support of your sleep set. When purchasing a new mattress, take the opportunity to get fitted for a quality pillow that offers proper neck support.
Finish Off Your Sleep Oasis
Complete your sleep sanctuary with properly fitting sheets and a mattress protector. These will not only enhance your comfort but also extend the life of your new mattress.
Rest, Restore, and Refresh
A good mattress isn’t just an investment in your sleep—it’s an investment in your overall well-being. With the right sleep set, you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. So, if your current mattress isn’t cutting it, follow these tips and start looking forward to a restful and restorative night’s sleep!
Sweet dreams,NIROPE
