How To Know When It’s Time for a Mattress Upgrade

We’ve all been there—trying to get a good night’s sleep, tossing and turning, only to wake up feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck. Your mattress might not be right for your body anymore, but how do you know when it’s time to say goodbye?

Don’t Sleep on Getting a Mattress Upgrade

Here’s the deal: on average, a new mattress can give you 7-9 years of solid sleep. But just because your mattress has a lifespan of 9 years doesn’t mean you should wait that long to replace it. Your body changes over time, and so do your sleep needs.

Body Changes = Mattress Changes

If you regularly wake up feeling like you haven’t slept at all or with aches in your shoulders, hips, or knees, it’s a sign your mattress might not be the perfect match anymore. Life changes—weight fluctuations, having kids, surgery, or stress—can shift your sleep needs, even if your mattress still looks great. Don’t ignore the warning signs your body’s sending you—those aches and pains might be telling you that your mattress isn’t cutting it anymore.

So, go ahead—admit it’s time for a change. Your body will thank you later.

It’s Not Just the Mattress

Okay, so your mattress might be in decent shape, but have you ever thought about your whole sleep system? Your pillow, mattress foundation, and even the bed frame can impact how well you sleep. It’s like a team effort. One bad player (i.e., an old foundation or lumpy pillow) can totally ruin the game, even if your mattress is still holding its own.
