It’s the first thing you wake up on the last thing that your head lays on before you drift off to slumberland. Whether you know it or not, the mattress in your bedroom is an essential part of your everyday life. But let’s face it, how much thought did you put into selecting the perfect mattress for your bedroom? You might have thought that the mattress that you’ve picked out, like your life partner, is the one that’s meant to be with you forever.
Unfortunately, no matter how amazing your mattress might be and how it has been with you for years and years —all good things must come to an end and the relationship you have with your mattress will have to end as well.
But how do you REALLY know for sure if your mattress needs replacing? Here are 10 telltale signs.
1. Obvious Sagging
The most obvious reasons for mattress replacement? When there’s visible sagging it may well be “Game Over” for you and your comfortable night’s sleep. Just to get technical, the springs in your mattress will break down over the years — the foam will get softer and other materials will start to compress, all of which lead to mattress sagging. If you see a huge crater forming in the middle of your bed, it’s basically time to pull the plug on your mattress. Even minor sagging should not be ignored, as it could lead to lack of support for the most vulnerable parts of your body. And this goes for all mattress types.
2. Lumps And Bumps
Finding weird bumps that constantly shift and move around your mattress? This uneven density can mean you’re not getting the support from your mattress where you’re supposed to be. It can also cause uncomfortable pressure points on your body. If you’re waking up with muscle or joint stiffness, it’s high time you change your mattress to get that well deserved sleep. Though lumps are more common with lower quality mattresses, it can also happen with higher end mattresses that have run their course throughout the years.

3. Allergies, Always
Over the years, most mattresses can accumulate allergens like mold, mildew, and dust mites. This will trigger an allergic reaction, especially if you’re more prone to these irritants. So, if you’re noticing severe sneezing when you’re lying on your bed or feeling stuffed up in the morning, it’s probably time to evaluate your mattress situation. It’s always best to consider hypoallergenic materials like wool or latex when choosing your new mattress.
4. Pain, Pain Go Away
After a whole day of stress at work by sitting down too much on your desk or even an intense gym session, your body needs time to rest and the best way to do that is to get a good night’s sleep. But if you wake up with more aches and pains than you had before you slept, your mattress is likely the culprit. As time goes by, your mattress will become softer, and the cushioning gets worn down and this will lose the ability to provide crucial support for vulnerable areas of your body like the neck, lower back and hips. So, if you wake up feeling beaten down rather than refreshed, chances are your mattress needs to go.
5. No Sleep Tonight
If you’re having trouble sleeping and you’re waking up at odd hours of the night to adjust sleeping positions, it is time to replace your mattress. So, if you’re tossing and turning all night throughout the wee hours, chances are your mattress no longer provides you with the proper comfort, a new mattress is in the cards for you.
Did you know that the life expectancy of a mattress is between 6 – 8 years, and this is for the likes of premium mattresses? Even if your mattress is showing no signs of wear or tear, if it’s more than 7 years old, you should seriously consider getting a new one. Even if you’re sleeping fine, there’s a chance that you’ve just become slowly accustomed to a less-than-excellent sleeping experience.
