The New Year is often fraught with resolutions that never quite get going or that somehow become less important just a few weeks into a new year. If you made a healthy commitment to getting a better quality of sleep, don’t underestimate the first step (it’s an easy one) – focus on your mattress.

Mattresses are an important factor in every household and they can impact family members’ moods, relationships and overall energy levels by simply assisting with quality sleep. If you made a commitment to getting more and better quality sleep in 2018, here are some tips that will help you identify whether a mattress is in need of replacement. The ultimate goal is to get you into bed and not wanting to get out.

The first step in any new year’s resolution is to identify there is a need. The second step is to focus on addressing the need.

Step 1 - Identify the Need

Experts say you should assess the health of your mattress and its impact on your sleep quality once you’ve owned it for 5 to 7 years. Depending on what condition your mattress may be in is often a reflection upon how you have treated (or mistreated) it over the years. Here are some of the signs your mattress is in need of replacement:

Step 2 -Do Something About It

According to the Better Sleep Council ,replacing your mattress every 7 to 10 years is recommended. Research indicates a majority of consumers start to investigate mattress replacement at about the decade-old mark. The problem with that is at 10 years old, a mattress is likely well past its productive, supportive life.

It may be hard to believe that by identifying any of those six classic indicators your mattress needs to be replaced can be the start of a new year filled with a healthier lifestyle and nights filled with quality sleep. But the facts are clear – the right mattress can make a difference in a person's quality of sleep, which in turn affects their health and overall quality of life. All of that – from a mattress.
