It is time to change your mattress!

Have you ever wondered why you feel sore and tired after a good night’s sleep? Have you ever considered the impact your mattress has on your daily life? The quality of our sleep profoundly influences our overall well-being. Our bed is the only piece of furniture that we use for 6-8 hours every night. Yet, we tend to ignore the comfort and the support it provides us and often compromise on the quality of our sleep surface – the mattress.

A mattress, our sleep sanctuary, is the place we come to at the end of the day, to relax and rejuvenate for the next day. It’s the place that determines our health and longevity.

Quality sleep on a supportive mattress can boost immune function, enhance cognitive performance, and promote emotional well-being. Neglecting your mattress can lead to back pain, stiffness, and poor sleep quality, impacting overall health.

Despite all the benefits a good mattress can bring to the quality of your life, changing the mattress at the right time is often overlooked. During our interaction with our customers, we learned that many still struggle to decide when a mattress should be changed. In this article, let’s look at signs your mattress gives you so you know it’s time to change it.

When to change your mattress?

If it does not feel cushiony, this could mean your mattress is sagging or has indentations. Over time, mattresses can develop permanent indentations where you typically sleep, leading to uneven support and discomfort.

If you struggle to find a comfortable position, this could mean your mattress has lumps or bulges. Wear and tear can cause the internal materials of a mattress to shift, resulting in lumps or bulges that can create pressure points.

If you feel persistent discomfort, this could mean your mattress has lost its core. If you wake up feeling stiff, sore, or in pain, even after a whole night’s sleep, it may indicate that your mattress is no longer providing adequate support.

If you are constantly battling allergies or respiratory issues, it could mean your mattress has accumulated mold and dust mites. An old mattress can get dust mites, allergens, and mold, triggering allergies or exacerbating respiratory problems.

The springs in your mattress creak, indicating that your spring mattress has lost its tensile strength. A spring mattress that makes noise when you move, or creaks, when you get in and out of bed, may have broken or worn-out internal components.

If your sleep quality has been consistently poor and you find yourself tossing and turning, experiencing frequent awakenings, or feeling tired despite spending enough time in bed, it could be a sign that your mattress is contributing to poor sleep quality.

What to look for in a new mattress? How to choose the right mattress?

If the above signs tell you it’s time to change your mattress, you should be in the market now looking for a perfect mattress that aligns with all your needs.

6-8 years ago the market for technologically superior mattresses was still budding, and the options were limited. Today, the market has many options; every mattress brand offers customised solutions to meet your needs. Let’s explore some modern solutions offered by luxury mattress brands like Magniflex that help address any sleep-related issue.

Dual Core Technology: If you share your bed with a partner, pick a mattress that provides different comfort levels for your needs. Mattresses with dual cores consist of sheets made from materials with varying comfort levels. These mattresses feature two parts that can be flipped, providing different types of support - soft, medium-firm, and firm.

Patented Memoform: Magniflex developed a unique foam that responds to body weight rather than heat. The composition of this special material is different from the countless varieties of memory foam that are available in the market. The patented Memoform resists deformation, is hypoallergenic, long-lasting, and supports the body’s contours to provide excellent orthopedic support to your body. Look for an open cell technology Memoform from Magniflex for your next mattress.

Patented Stretch Technology: If you suffer from back ailments or have undergone surgery and are recuperating, you should look for a mattress made with Patented Stretch Technology. These high-tech mattresses help reduce back and neck pain, improve blood flow, revitalise the discs, and stretch and decompress the spinal column.

Mattresses made with Patented Stretch Technology have special layers with tilted sections that adapt to the body’s pressure. It stretches the body from the lower back to the cervical area and from the lower back towards the feet.

Electric Beds: If you are someone who has elderly parents at home, or you like reading and watching TV for long durations, and you prefer a lounge set-up in the corner of your room, then an Adjustable Electric Bed by Magniflex would be a great addition to your home or the recreation and rest room of your office.

Made with a superior German Motor, this bed is noiseless and has a wireless option. It provides separate adjustments of the height of the head, shoulders, torso, and legs. The unique built-in plates distribute the body weight evenly, and the special shock absorbers respond to the body’s weight based on crucial pressure points.

Massaging Beds: If you suffer from varicose veins, blood clots, or restless leg syndrome, look for a mattress packed with a massaging system. A mattress with a massaging system comes with a serrated patented Memoform (memory foam) that aids in improving your blood circulation and acts as a masseuse while you sleep.

Mattresses that keep you cool: If you live in tropical weather or experience extended periods of extreme summer, you must be familiar with frequently waking at night due to sweat and discomfort. To address this problem, Magniflex introduced a mattress to keep you cool and sweat-free. It is made with a unique Japanese fabric that has a temperature-regulating feature. This fabric can wick away moisture and keep you fresh and relaxed throughout the night.

An Eco-Friendly Mattress: Luxury mattresses that do not make you feel guilty. Eco-friendly mattresses are for those who desire comfort and sustainability. These mattresses are made with natural and sustainable materials like patented Memoform and natural wood fabric. The materials are thoughtfully picked to provide an ideal sleep temperature irrespective of weather conditions.
