Buying a whole new mattress can be quite an expensive business, especially if you are looking for quality. Memory foam in particular may look like a big investment, although this type of mattress is far more affordable than it used to be. It may seem like a difficult choice to make, especially if your existing mattress still has plenty of life left in it. But on the other hand, it’s hard to place a value on a good night’s sleep. If you aren’t getting one, something needs to be done.
First of all, trying turning the mattress. You’ll probably be surprised by just how different the bottom will feel. Some manufacturers recommend turning their mattresses over at least once a year, if not more, and others say it should be done every two or three years. Almost all recommend it as a regular task that will increase the lifetime of the product. Like flossing our teeth every day, some of us remember and some of us don’t.
After you’ve turned the mattress, get out the vacuum cleaner and give it a good going over before putting the bed sheets back on. Dust has probably been building up under the mattress and inside the bed, and it is best to avoid breathing that in as you sleep. Asthmatics and anyone who experiences dust allergies should take special care.
If you are still not completely satisfied with the sleeping comfort and support provided by your mattress, consider a memory foam mattress topper. This will give you some of the benefits of memory foam without the need to buy a whole new mattress. They are particularly useful for those with neck and back problems, and make a wonderful gift for the elderly or anyone experiencing long term illness. Mattress toppers are relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
