As H&G's resident sleep writer, I'm often asked: 'when should you buy a new mattress?' My answer: sooner than you think. You shouldn't wait until the springs start squeaking and the foam starts sagging. If you act early, you can save yourself from months or years of bad sleep.
Even the best mattress will wear and tear over years of nightly use. Your mattress might start to degrade within a few years, or you might get a few decades out of it, depending on which mattress type you buy. The point is that, at some point, your mattress will give up the ghost. This article should teach you how to spot the early warning signs so that you can get a new bed in plenty of time.
