‘Age doesn’t matter’ and four other mattress myths busted

We’ve all probably heard the phrase ‘age doesn’t matter’ when it comes to your mattress, but this is a common misconception. A mattress changes over time and so does your body.
A well looked after mattress can indeed last up to 10 years, but it’s advised that you replace it every seven years.
However, the most important thing is that you listen to your body. Have you been waking up with aches and pains for a while now? It might be time to change your bed.

A mattress is as individual as you, and what’s right for one might not be comfortable for another. It’s important that you find a bed that works for you and your body. If you are unsure, talk to a sales adviser in-store who can show you the options available and recommend what’s best for your needs

Just as you wouldn’t buy a car without test driving it, you shouldn’t buy a bed before trying it first. A mattress is a long term investment, and taking your time to browse your options when shopping for your new mattress is the key to many nights of restful sleep.
If you are sharing your bed with a partner, make sure they try it too.

Now, we’re not saying you should clean your mattress as often as you clean your sheets, but you should consider doing so every six months, even if you have a mattress protector.
Over time, your bed will gather up dust, dirt, pests and allergens that you get exposed to and will breathe in every night.
This can have a serious effect on your health, and lead to insomnia, breathing problems and possible allergies. So make sure you check the care guide for your mattress, and take a look at our top three tips for maintaining its quality.

A mattress is only as good as its base, and the two work together in harmony. A good base should be able to hold the weight of your mattress, offer even support and provide sufficient air circulation.
The wrong base can also damage your mattress, so it’s important to check what type of base is recommended before you purchase it.
So, now that you’re the mattress expert, why not try one of our beds in one of our stockist’s stores near you?

Five signs it’s time for a new mattress

Here’s five signs…

What a pain!

We all wake up with neck or back pain from time to time but if it’s becoming a regular occurrence, your mattress could be to blame. A lack of support through the night can strain muscles, reinforce a poor sleeping posture and have a bad impact on your spine.

You struggle to fall asleep

Of course, there are many factors which contribute to how easily you fall asleep, but struggling to drift off is a tell-tale sign that your mattress isn’t working for you.

It’s sagging in the middle

Regardless of weight, springs break down over time, memory foam gets softer and fabrics compress – all contributing to that sinking feeling in the middle of your mattress.

Age isn’t just a number

It’s true, a well looked after mattress can last up to 10 years. But that’s not always the case and it’s suggested that you should think about changing your mattress after you’ve had it about seven years.
Even if you think you’re still sleeping ok, you’ve probably slowly become accustomed to an average night’s sleep.

No spring in your step – just your back!

There are a number of factors that can contribute to broken mattress springs but if you’ve noticed yours starting to poke through, there’s no going back.
Any of this sound familiar? The bad news is it’s probably time to invest in a new mattress.
The good news? New technology found in our collections ensure quality, comfort and durability. Discover our collections here and read our top tips for maintaining that luxurious comfort for years and years to come.

Updating your bedroom this Spring

Here’s our top tips for creating your perfect sleep sanctuary this spring:

Is it time to change your duvet?

It may seem like an obvious step, but while we fuss over fresh sheets and finding the perfect bedding, we often neglect our duvets and stick with the same one all year round. Updating your bedroom gives you the perfect chance to question whether it’s time to ditch the winter quilt and opt for a lower tog.

Bring the outdoors in and awaken your senses

Indoor plants are more than just a pretty feature – they help create a sense of wellbeing. Filling your space with fresh flowers and greenery can improve air quality help decrease fatigue and stress.

 

Finding the right mattress

Creating your very own sleep sanctuary ultimately comes down to comfort and that means ensuring you have the right mattress. If you think it’s about time you upgraded, spend time researching different mattress types and technologies – and without a doubt, try before you buy!

We know how big of an investment a new mattress is, so why not let us help?
