A mattress can often be a leading factor in losing sleep throughout the night, although there can be other causes too. There are some ways to determine whether it’s the mattress that is the problem or something else that is causing the sleepless nights.
- Do you have trouble falling asleep? Usually if the mattress is the problem, you will fall asleep but wake up in the morning with back or side aches. However if you lay awake for hours before finally falling sleep, you might want to check out other culprits.
- Do you toss and turn at night? Generally this is a sign of nothing more then a bad mattress or bad back (often as a result of a bad mattress). Either way a replacement mattress such as a memory foam mattress or Sleep Number bed could help with this. Some of the best beds and mattresses can do wonders for your health.
- Is your mattress old? Many of the times, the older the mattress gets, the weaker and more shaky the springs get. This causes them to shift and cause pressure points that can be very uncomfortable. If your mattress is over 5 years old this could be a problem and is worth looking into a bit further, to find out whether this is in fact the cause.
