Of all bedtime purchases, getting a new mattress is the big one. Let’s face it, it’s a big commitment, as when you find the perfect match, you will spend a whole lot of time together. A good mattress can last you ten years and beyond and make a big difference to the quality of your sleep. Though how do you know when it’s time to make the investment? Here are some of the key questions to ask before you start your search.

What is the lifespan of a mattress?

The lifespan of a mattress can vary depending on the quality and materials it is made from. On average, a good one can last between 7 – 10 years. Those made with low-density foams or that enter the ‘lower end’ of the market can lose their comfort and support sooner. If you are looking to upgrade your mattress, go for those made with high-density foams like our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress. Paying slightly more will see a better return on bedtime in the long run. Investing in a good quality mattress is also far better for the environment, reducing the significant amount that ends up in a landfill. The better you take care of it following the guidelines of the provider, the longer it will take care of you and keep you sleeping soundly.

Is your mattress providing comfort and support?

Of all the things your mattress should deliver, optimum comfort and support are top of the list. This is why it can pay dividends to take your time and make sure you find a premium mattress that offers all the essentials you need for a good night’s sleep. Orthopaedic grade foam will help to keep you in alignment, preventing neck and back pain, while naturally thermoregulating fabrics like bamboo will keep sleep cool and fresh. Aside from not loving jumping into bed, here are some signs your mattress might be ready for replacing:

Aches and Pains

Waking up frequently in the night

An uncomfortable, low-quality mattress can lead to more waking in the night. Especially if it is made from materials that cause overheating like many memory foams. Our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress infuses the support of memory foam with naturally thermoregulating, breathable bamboo to ensure you stay at the perfect temperature for the best quality snoozing.

A comfortable mattress is essential for a good night’s sleep, so if you are nodding your head to any of the above signs – it could be time to start shopping. Over time, putting up with the lack of comfort can lead to sleep deprivation, impacting your well-being from irritability and low mood to a weakened immune system. A good mattress is more than a bedtime treat; it is key to the deep restorative sleep that will keep you happy and healthy.

Does your mattress support your sleeping position?

Another question you want to consider is whether your mattress supports your sleeping position. Whether you are a front, back, or side sleeper can influence what level of firmness and type of mattress is best for you. A mattress with orthopaedic grade memory foam will naturally contour to every sleeping position, so you can rest assured you will be supported and stay in perfect alignment throughout the night. A mattress that supports your sleeping position will ensure your spine and posture stays healthy so you can stay active and pain-free.

Is your mattress hygienic?

What separates the best from the rest when it comes to mattresses is the materials it is made with. Breathable, natural fabrics are ideal for keeping bedtime clean and fresh. Bamboo is anti-bacterial, moisture-wicking and odour resistant, which can help prevent sticky nights, ensuring healthy, hygienic sleep. If your mattress is beginning to have some funky odours, this can zap the joy out of bedtime, and it could be time to freshen things up.

How do you find the best mattress for you?

Ready for an upgrade? It is worth taking your time to make a list of all the things you want in your next mattress. Here are some final things to consider:

Our Hybrid Bamboo Mattress combines the best of everything. Breathable BioCell Foam regulates body temperature while OrthoAlign Foam keeps you in perfect alignment from head to toe.

Combining the classic spring mattress design and the new unique foam technology creates a hybrid multi-layered mattress, combining springs and multiple foam layers.

However, as they say, nothing lasts forever, which raises the question, how long hybrid mattresses last? In this blog, we will answer that question and a few more.

How long do hybrid mattresses last? 

The lifespan of a hybrid mattress can vary, but on average they last between 7-10 years with proper care and maintenance. The life of a hybrid mattress depends heavily on the quality of the material the mattress was made from in the first place. Some are made from a few thin layers of foam (2 inches are required to give minimum support). In contrast, others are made from multiple layers to provide extra cushioning, weight distribution, and support and to give a superior night’s sleep. Overall, the more layers and better the quality of the material used to create the mattress, the longer it is likely to last. A budget mattress with minimum 2-inch support will frequently show signs of wear and need replacing after only six years.

The hybrid bamboo mattress is an excellent example of a quality mattress and one of the world’s most advanced and breathable bamboo mattresses. It combines six layers, including the anti-slip base layer, multi-zonal springs layer, and OrthAlign foam layer, to create a mattress that gives the maximum support and comfort for a blissful night’s sleep.

How you can extend the life of your mattress?

There are several ways to extend the life of your mattress, including:

1. Using a mattress protector: A mattress protector can help protect your mattress from spills, stains, and allergens, keeping it in good condition for longer.
2. Rotating the mattress: Rotating your mattress regularly can help distribute wear and tear evenly, which can extend its lifespan.
3. Avoid jumping or standing on the mattress: Jumping or standing on your mattress can damage the internal structure and shorten its lifespan.
4. Not using it excessively: Using the mattress excessively can wear it down faster.
5. Maintaining proper hygiene: Keeping the mattress clean and dust-free can prevent the accumulation of dust mites and other allergens, which can shorten its lifespan.
6. Proper foundation: Using the right foundation and frame can prevent sagging and wear on the mattress.
