5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Mattress (And What to Get Next)
5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Mattress (And What to Get Next)
Ever wake up feeling like you didn’t sleep at all? It might not be stress, your pillow, or even the cat. The culprit could be right under you: your mattress.
Most people keep their mattress far too long — and it shows. From sagging support to sneaky allergens, an old mattress can seriously mess with your sleep (and your spine).
So, how do you know when it’s time to say goodbye? Here are five clear signs it’s time to upgrade — and how Chez Guru can help you sleep better.
1. You Wake Up with Aches and Pains
If you're waking up sore — especially in your lower back or neck — your mattress might not be giving you the support you need. Over time, mattresses lose their ability to distribute weight evenly, which can strain your pressure points.
🛏 Chez Guru Fix: Try a medium-firm hybrid mattress for balanced support and cushioning. Our ergonomic range is designed to keep your spine aligned and your body comfy.
2. You Feel Springs or Sagging
Notice a dip in the middle of your mattress? Can you feel the springs poking through? That’s a big red flag. A sagging or lumpy mattress won’t just hurt your sleep — it can hurt you.
🛏 Chez Guru Fix: Upgrade to one of our pocket spring mattresses with individual coils that reduce motion transfer and prevent sagging.
3. You’re Sneezing More in Bed
Mattresses can be a haven for dust mites, allergens, and even mould — especially older ones. If you wake up congested or itchy, it might be time to kick that old bed to the curb.
🛏 Chez Guru Fix: Our memory foam and hybrid mattresses are hypoallergenic and made with breathable, antibacterial fabrics to keep your sleep space fresh.
4. You Can’t Get Comfortable Anymore
Tossing and turning all night? If you're flipping around like a fish on land, your mattress isn’t doing its job. Your bed should cradle you — not confuse you.
🛏 Chez Guru Fix: Our plush top layer mattresses offer pressure-relieving comfort with a cloud-like feel. It’s like sleeping on a hug.
5. Your Mattress is Over 7–10 Years Old
Mattresses aren't immortal. Even with great care, most start breaking down after 7–10 years. If you can't remember when you bought yours — it's probably time.
🛏 Chez Guru Fix: Whether you're a back sleeper, side snuggler or sprawled-out starfish, we’ve got the perfect mattress for your sleep style.
