It’s exciting to move to a new neighborhood and be able to get a fresh start by decorating your new place with modern furniture, fresh wallpaper and new decorations. And although it’s great to update your new place, nothing will make your new residence feel more ‘homey’ than by moving in some older, familiar items and furniture that you’ve kept throughout the years.

Plus, as you will see, a new mattress can have very positive health benefits.
At Sit ‘n Sleep, we are firm believers in the philosophy of “Replace Every 8.” Why should you get a new mattress every eight years?
It’s simple. The average mattress begins to lose its shape at around the eight-year mark. At this age it can no longer provide the support that’s necessary to keep your spine, back and head aligned correctly.
An older, out-of-shape mattress can also leave you out of shape because your muscles will have to overcompensate for the lack of support; leaving you sore in the morning. This tired and depleted feeling will leave you craving another source of energy.food.
Another good reason for leaving the old mattress behind when you move into your new place is that you don’t want to bring your old ‘roommates’ into the new house. ‘Roommates,’ you say?
Chances are your old mattress is infested with some very tiny, hungry roommates. dust mites.
Millions of dust mites can live in a single mattress and why wouldn’t they? A mattress provides dust mites with a warm and inviting environment in which to sleep and make baby dust mites. Plus, the dead skin cells that accumulate inside of your mattress and pillows provide plenty for these little guys to nibble on. Now, although they are creepy little characters, dust mites aren’t you biggest problem you encounter sleeping on an old mattress.
Dust mite droppings can wreck havoc on your allergies. Allergic reactions to dust mites not only make it difficult for you to sleep through the night, but they can really screw up your productivity at work the next day. Many people who get new mattresses feel instant relief from their coughing, congestion and sneezing after just one night on a new, clean sleep surface.
If your mattress is over eight years old and you are looking to replace it, we don’t recommend that you purchase a used mattress from a stranger you met online. Besides the aforementioned dust mites and poor support problems, older mattresses have absorbed pounds upon pounds body oils from their previous owner, most likely leaving it with an unpleasant odor. Mattresses are like giant sponges. Whatever bodily fluids, foods and beverages that have spilled on the mattress over the years are most likely still lurking inside its coils and padding.
