One of the biggest reasons that people are failing to get the restorative sleep they need is due to their mattress. They lose their shape and become less comfortable, and what might be the worst part - dead skin and dust accumulate in your mattress, as well as sweat and dirt from the outside world.
And let's face it, mattresses just don't last forever, the loss of their structure and ability to support your body over the years is inevitable with any mattress. The human body needs sleep to restore itself during the night, so if you are not getting the sleep you need, your health will suffer for it. So if you long for the days of having a great night sleep, let's have a look at our new mattress buying guide and discover the 7 ways to tell when it is time to buy a new mattress:
Going to bed at night should be your favorite part of the day, thoughts of laying in the utmost comfort on your mattress filling you with longing for bedtime. But if your dreams of that perfect end to your day come crashing down when you spend your night tossing and turning to find the “sweet spot” where you can be comfortable enough to fall asleep, it might be time for a new mattress.
If you are waking up with a sore neck, back, shoulders, or hips, it might be another sign that you need to ditch the old mattress. Over time, mattresses lose the ability to provide proper support for the contours of your body, which means that as the mattress begins to sag beneath you, there will be increased pressure on your shoulders, hips, back, and neck, and will have you waking up in pain.
If your mattress is beginning to look a little more like a sack of potatoes or a hammock than a sheet of glass, it could require replacing. A lumpy or saggy mattress does not have the structural support needed to give your body the restful night of sleep that it needs, which leads me to refer to signs 1 and 2, you won't be comfortable and you will wake up sore.
It goes without saying that you should feel rested and restored when you wake up, but if you are continually drowsy and dragging your feet through the day (without conditions such as sleep apnea), it might be a sign that you need a new mattress. If you are tossing and turning at night, your body spends all of its time and energy trying to get comfortable rather than restoring itself.
If you find that you get a better sleep on another bed or your couch, or you are considering going to a hotel just to get a good night's rest, you might be in need of a new mattress. If you are not waking up refreshed in your own bed, and prefer other beds to your own, that is a clear sign that you need a new mattress.
If you are suffering from allergies at night or first thing in the morning, the culprit may be dust mites, which known as the leading cause of allergens. Dust mites thrive in the conditions that mattresses provide when they accumulate a lot of dead skin and dust, meaning you are the poor soul that suffers.
It is a sad fact of life that as we age, our bodies become less tolerate and adaptable to pain and pressure, and so for those who are more young at heart than young in body, replacing your mattress is something that should be done more often to accommodate the changing needs of our aging bodies.
So why should you consider The Nolah to replace your current mattress? Let's have a quick peek at all the reasons:
