How Old Is Your Mattress? 5 Signs It's Time for a New One

Quick question: how old is your mattress?

If you had to stop and think about it, you're not alone. Most people replace their phones more often than their mattress. But most mattresses begin to lose support after 7–10 years, even if they still feel comfortable when you lie down.

That slow loss of support is easy to miss. It doesn't happen overnight. It shows up as small things you start to accept as normal.

5 signs your mattress is past its prime

• You wake up stiff or sore. If the first thing you do every morning is stretch your back, your mattress might be trying to tell you something.
• You sleep better somewhere else. A hotel bed or the guest room shouldn't feel like an upgrade.
• You can see a dip. When your hips sink too far, your spine bends out of alignment and your muscles stay tense all night.
• You toss and turn. Hunting for a comfortable spot at 2 a.m. is often a support problem, not a you problem.
• You got 8 hours… and still feel exhausted. The quality of your sleep matters just as much as the quantity.

Comfort vs. support

Comfort is what you feel for five minutes. Support is what determines how you sleep all night. An older mattress can still feel soft and cozy while it quietly stops holding your body where it should.
