new mattress - Men's Health Information, Including Fitness, Nutrition, Weight Loss, Working Out & Sex

Determine whether you need a new mattress. First, strip off all the bedding and examine the sleep surface. Is there a hollowed-out spot where you normally sleep? Is the fabric covering worn? Did you add a foam pad or mattress cover a while back to soften the surface? Do you wake up with joints popping and limbs tingling? Have you gained or lost weight in the last few years (including through pregnancy)?

It's easier to tell if your mattress is done, if you have a spring mattress, however if your mattress is of a different material, then it is sometimes harder to tell.

Maybe the reason of getting a new mattress can be as simple as: desiring better sleeps

You can make a mattress last longer by rotating it. It use to be you would alsoflip it over but at least in the US some new rule requires only one side have the really comfy top.
