6 Reasons to Upgrade Your Mattress

When it's time to shop for a new mattress, it can be difficult to find your perfect match, especially when you're unsure of where to start. From latex to memory foam, hybrid to innerspring, ultra-plush to extra firm, there are so many options to choose from. However, one decision when mattress shopping should always be simple: choosing the right mattress size.

To ensure you're mattress shopping is a little easier, here are six reasons you should consider upgrading your mattress:

6 Reasons You Should Upgrade Your Mattress

1. You Spend One Third of Your Life in Bed

Between work, home and play, you spend nearly one-third of your life in bed, so it's important that you choose a bed that gives you the comfort and support your body needs to rest easy. When choosing a new mattress, don't shy away from investing in your rest. Since you spend so much time in bed, it's worth paying for a bigger bed.

2. You Toss and Turn More Than You Think

The average person changes sleep positions 60 to 70 times each night. A bigger bed will give you and your partner more room to move about comfortably, without rolling on to the floor or fighting one another for more space.

3. Your Mattress Is Aging Faster Than You Are

Your bed is certainly not build to last your entire lifetime, so don't be afraid to upgrade when your mattress has reached the end of its life. A good rule of thumb is to replace your mattress every 8-10 years, but if you begin to notice lumps, sagging or indentations, your bed could be ready for an upgrade sooner than you think. While mattresses can be a big ticket purchase, don't wait while your sleep suffers. Upgrade to a newer bed and give yourself a better night's sleep.

4. More Room for Sharing

If you sleep with a partner, you likely understand the need for your own space. But, did you know that sharing a queen bed means you each have less space than if you were to sleep in a twin bed on your own?! Upgrading to a larger mattress is practically a necessity when you share your sleep space with a partner, so consider upgrading your bed and giving you and your partner the space you need to sleep happy.

5. You Deserve Better Sleep Quality

If you have trouble sleeping at night, upgrading to a new mattress can help improve your sleep quality — not to mention your sleep is extremely important to you personal success and happiness. To be the best you, you need the best bed, so don't be afraid of upgrading your bed to find your best sleep ever.

6. Your Bedroom is Your Sleep Sanctuary

Your bedroom should be the place you retreat and recharge after a long day — the place where you begin and end your day. Between essentials oils and fluffy pillows, making sure your sleep space is suited to your specifications is important to your quality of rest. To complete your sleep sanctuary, consider upgrading to the best mattress for you. Trust us, you'll be thankful for a new bed!
