Your mattress plays a crucial role in your health and quality of life. Over time, even the best mattresses wear down, losing the support and comfort your body needs. That’s why experts recommend replacing your mattress at least every 10 years.
As you sleep night after night, your mattress absorbs sweat, dead skin cells, and allergens like dust mites. Over time, this buildup can affect both hygiene and air quality in your bedroom, potentially leading to allergy flare-ups or respiratory issues.
More importantly, mattresses gradually lose their ability to support your spine and joints. As the materials inside break down, you may start to notice aches, pains, and disrupted sleep. What once felt firm and supportive can sag or develop uneven spots, leading to poor sleep posture and chronic discomfort.
Even if a mattress looks fine on the outside, its internal structure may be deteriorating after years of use. And as your body’s needs change with age, what felt comfortable a decade ago may no longer provide the proper support you now require.
Replacing your mattress every 8–10 years helps ensure you continue to get restful, restorative sleep while protecting your long-term health. If you wake up feeling stiff, sore, or more tired than when you went to bed, it might be time to start shopping for a new one. Investing in a quality mattress is an investment in better sleep — and better living.
