Many people who have bad mattresses try to hold out for a while longer.
They try to flip their mattress, turn their mattress or place boards underneath it.
None of these options are ideal because mattresses, like everything else, have a shelf-life.
Mattresses can only last so long and, after a while, end up lumpy, sagging and lop-sided which can only lead to back and neck problems down the line.
Because such a large portion of our lives are spent sleeping, it is important to have a good mattress.
Many people who are looking for a mattress strive to save money by purchasing a lower quality mattress or one that is second-hand.
Think of it this way; you are going to spend a good portion of each day on this mattress for the next ten or so years.
With that in mind it is easier to see why a top quality mattress should be your choice.
Cutting back on eating out, buying less clothes and going for shorter holidays are where money can be saved.
The mattress you purchase will determine your days and nights for the next ten years so it should be a good one.
There are many different types of mattresses available.
They come in different sizes, varying degrees of firmness and special features such as memory foams or pocket sprung.
Mattress consultants are available to give advice and make suggestions such as the different needs in mattresses for back sleepers, side sleepers and stomach sleepers.
Whether you need lumbar support, have orthopaedic problems or it is just time to replace a lumpy mattress, consultants are happy to help you.
Retailers will often match or beat other prices which will ensure that you get the best deal possible.
If you are waking up more tired than when you went to bed, waking up with kinks and pains or sleeping on the sofa because you sleep better, then it is time to get a new mattress.
Remember, a good mattress means a good night's sleep.
