If you’re waking up with back pain or tossing and turning due to a sagging mattress you’re not alone. This is a very common problem. Here are a few things you can do:
1. Consider Your Sleeping Position
You may find that if you sleep in the same spot, in the same position each night your mattress has an indentation there. This is normally more pronounced on an aging mattress. However, sometimes it is easily adjusted by simply rotating the mattress regularly. Even if you don’t have a flippable mattress, you can still rotate it around to ensure that your small dip doesn’t become a big valley!
2. Take a Look At Your Foundation
Platform beds are more popular than ever. We love them too! They are sleek and modern. However, a poorly built one may not support a larger queen or king-size mattress properly. Over time, you may notice your mattress is sinking or feeling softer than you’d like. Not all platform beds are built to the same standards or weight capacity. Without that proper support under your mattress, it can’t provide the best night’s sleep for you. Check out the Bed’r Storage Platform Base. It offers 12” of underbed clearance, round edge corners, and a high weight capacity!
3. Consider A Topper
Not all mattresses are built to the same quality standards (especially budget mattresses from your local big box store). However, there still may be hope to get a few more years out of your current mattress. A mattress topper can sometimes be enough to balance out the pressure on an aging mattress. It won’t solve the problem but it could make you more comfortable while you’re considering what mattress will best suit your future needs.
Ultimately, it may just be the right time for a new mattress. If your mattress is over 7 years old, it is likely time for replacement. Not only has the mattress aged, but your sleep needs will likely have changed over that time as well. We can solve any sleep problem!
