When is the best time to buy a mattress?

Sleep is incredibly important for your physical health, emotional wellness and mental functioning. If you’re having trouble getting enough sleep at night, it could be time to replace your mattress. You might find that a new mattress instantly resolves problems like waking up with painful, stiff, and aching muscles and joints. A new mattress can give you the support you need to cheerfully greet the new day.

Top 5 signs it’s time to buy a new mattress

• You wake up unrefreshed or in pain
• You have allergic reactions to your existing mattress
• Your mattress has deep indentations or other signs of wear and tear
• Sleep deprivation is making you irritable and grumpy
• You look forward to enjoying the comfort and deep sleep afforded by a hotel mattress

How often should you replace your mattress?

The average person will spend thousands of hours sleeping on the same mattress. But when does it really need to be replaced? Expert opinions vary, but a study released by Oklahoma State University found that people had incredible improvements in the quality of their sleep when they replaced their mattresses after five years. This result held true regardless of the individual’s age and weight.

There are many factors that can affect the lifespan of the average mattress, which should be replaced at least every 8-10 years. The starting quality of the mattress when it first leaves the showroom and is installed in your bedroom is a significant factor. Some consumers find that spending a little extra money on a top-of-the-line mattress is well worth it in terms of durability.

But usage is also a significant factor. If you spend a great deal of time traveling out of town, your mattress won’t get as much use as it would if you rarely spent nights away from home. Similarly, larger and heavier individuals typically need to replace their mattresses more frequently than those who are petite.

Another point to consider is your own preferences. Over time, you might simply find that a mattress you had previously found comfortable just a few years ago no longer feels the same. Perhaps you underwent a medical procedure or were diagnosed with a circulatory condition that makes your current sleep set up less than ideal.

The changing composition of your family could also compel you to buy a new mattress. Whatever your current needs are, a Sleep Specialist at Wildcat can help you find the best bed within your price range.
