Your mattress plays an integral role in getting a good night’s rest. However, before you head out to purchase a new set from a used furniture store, ask yourself if you need a new mattress. From physical symptoms to functionality problems, consider looking for a new mattress set if you notice the following four signs.

Do You Need a New Mattress?

1. Exhaustion

If you’re getting the right amount of sleep on the right mattress, you should feel rested and refreshed when you wake up. If you find yourself feeling groggy in the morning or becoming exhausted early in the day, look for a new mattress. Your body has to work overtime to get comfortable in a worn-out bed. If you feel tired, not refreshed, when you get out of bed, your mattress may be at fault.

2. Aches & Pains 

Back and neck pain are two commonly experienced symptoms when sleeping on a mattress that needs to be replaced. Older mattresses do not provide the support your spine and shoulders need. Without proper support, you’ll feel stiff and achy when waking up in the morning.

3. Sleeping Elsewhere

If you find yourself gravitating to a spare bedroom or to the couch for a night’s rest, you may need a new mattress. Because your bed is designed to provide sound and supportive sleep, you shouldn’t seek out other spots to lie down for the night.

4. Visible Sagging

When you lie down in bed, you should feel supported by your mattress. Whether it’s soft or firm, it should look even and be free of any dips. If your bed sags or you find yourself drifting to the middle while you sleep, it’s time to look for a replacement.
