It, therefore, is of great importance that a good quality mattress is selected. Bearing in mind that one spends a third of their life sleeping, it is, therefore, worthwhile to invest time and money into the purchasing of a good quality mattress.

This article's main aim is to provide some guidance and clarity to the science behind your aging mattress, as well as separating the facts from fiction.

 It’s a myth to assume that a mattress topper will add years to your mattress. A mattress topper is there, first of all, to add cushioning and relief at pressure points. In cases where your mattress is too soft or it is no longer providing the support required, a mattress topper won’t provide a quick miracle fix. In fact, it will not make much of a difference at all.  In a recent study, over 60% of participants who complained of back pain noted significant improvements after the purchase of a new mattress versus the use of a mattress topper.

 

It is simply not true that the firmer the mattress the better. When selecting a mattress, one should select one that is right for you. We are all different so it is important to try out different mattresses in order to ensure that you ultimately select a mattress that provides the greatest comfort and pain relief suitable for you.

Mattress's age happens to be a big contributor to the overall quality of your mattress. Those who sleep on a mattress that is less than eight years old have far better sleep than those who are sleeping on mattresses eight years and older.

 

It’s become quite an established custom/norm that mattresses require to be flipped and rotated regularly. In actual fact, with the advancements that have been made today, the level of construction of mattresses today means that is no need for a bed to be flipped regularly as had become the normal practice. However, rotating the mattress is still advised unless of course, you have a memory foam or no-turn mattress. It is advised that you should rotate your new mattress on a monthly basis for the first six months after purchase and then every three months thereafter.

 

The most important thing at the end of the day is ensuring that one is comfortable whilst sleeping.  As mentioned by the great and wise Benjamin Franklin, “Early to bed and early to rise, makes the man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
