4 Keys To Look At When Buying A New Mattress
You spend ⅓ of your life in bed…are you prioritizing your sleep quality? Many believe that the average lifespan of a mattress is 7-10 years. But that’s not a hard rule that everyone needs to follow. We like to say, “replace at 8, unless it’s great.”
When it is time to find that new mattress, we know shopping for one can be confusing. So how do you know what to look for? This guide highlights 4 key elements to pay attention to:
Comfort
Sleep Temperature
Support
Wear & Tear
Comfort
How long does it take you to get comfortable?
A comfortable mattress will help you fall asleep quickly, but just as importantly, stay asleep. Falling asleep quickly isn’t enough. Staying asleep helps you get the deep, restorative sleep we all need to restore our bodies and brains overnight. Tossing and turning on an uncomfortable mattress means you spend more time in light sleep and prevents the time spent in deep sleep.
Sleep Temperature
Do you wake up in a mid-night sweat? Do you go to sleep with the covers on, remove them, then put them back on? Or maybe you’re tossing an arm or a leg out from under the covers and then back under? This is all an attempt to control your body temperature. Sleepers can contro how hot they sleep, but have very little control over how cold they sleep.
It’s important to know the difference between your internal body temperature (98.6°) and your external core skin temperature (89-93°). Your body tends to be colder on the outside than on the inside. Because you have little control over how cool your body is when you sleep, a mattress should help keep your body cool. When considering a mattresses, make sure you are checking for breathable foams and fabrics to promote air flow and help regulate temperature by dissipating excess heat over time.
Support
Did you know a firmer mattress does not mean it is a more supportive mattress and better for your back?
A supportive mattress aligns your spine so the muscles in your back can relax and be restored. Poor spinal alignment can lead to pain stiffness, soreness and muscle fatigue when you wake up. Proper support is necessary to help your body relax in a natural state of alignment. A firmer mattress does not mean support. Body alignment does.
Comfort is what you feel when you go to bed. Support is what you feel when you wake up.
Wear & Tear
What are the signs of wear and tear you should be looking for?
Are you noticing some sagging, deep grooves and indentations in your mattress? Are you rolling to the middle or edges? Does it make noises that it didn’t used to? These are obvious signs that your mattress is in need of replacement. A mattress should not be saggy or lumpy. Run your hands along your mattress and feel for lumps and deep groves, especially on the areas you tend to favor. This happens to all mattresses over time. A lumpy or saggy mattress will not give you proper support. When you find your mattress in this condition, it’s time to dispose of it and get a new one.
