Summary: As time passes, old mattresses can potentially cause a variety of health concerns that you need to be aware of.

As a homeowner, one of the most important aspects of a nice home from a great home is the comfort level that one experiences. Meaning, the architecture of your home could be stunning but if you’re not sleeping well at night on your bed due to the sacrifice of comfort for aesthetic appeal, then you’re making things much harder on yourself in the long run. The importance of proper cushion filling goes beyond the fact that helps you sleep better, but there are also numerous health benefits that accompany the switch as well. This article will dive into some of these benefits so you can determine whether or not you need to welcome a new change of scenery into your bedroom.

Alleviating Soreness

One of the most common detrimental effects of an old or worn-down mattress is tension and soreness in the lower back after waking up. Here’s how it works. Essentially, the daily forced pressure of human body weight on a mattress will begin to naturally sink in over time. Now, mattresses are designed to support the body, and once it begins to lose its evenness, your back becomes the victim of an unsupportive platform. One way that you can prevent this, if you aren’t looking to replace your mattress foam, is to rotate your mattress from front to back. This way, your body will still be supported by the inner coils and will help prevent soreness from occurring.

Hygiene

If you think washing your sheets on a weekly basis will keep your body free from bed bugs, dust mites, and skin residue, well you’re wrong. Mattresses, regardless of the material that covers them, will almost always have some sort of dust, skin flakes, and other microscopic entities within them after being used for a long period of time. It’s not that you’re unsanitary, it’s just almost impossible to keep a mattress sterile after sleeping on it day after day. You may not be able to see what’s inside your mattress, so ultimately, you’ll have to make a judgment call on whether or not you’ll want to replace your mattress. If it’s been years and you notice discoloration, uneven sections, and other irregularities, it’s best to find a foam replacement. Not only will this ensure that your bedroom environment stays clean, but it’ll also provide support to your back as well.

Adding a foam mattress topper can greatly improve your existing mattress and help promote good sleep. Here are some reasons why people invest in latex mattress toppers.

My current mattress is too firm – It can be difficult to gauge the comfort of a mattress by just examining and trying it in-store because a mattress will change as you sleep on it for over 5 hours. If you feel that your mattress is too firm, a good way to reduce its firmness is to add a 2-inch natural latex mattress topper to increase softness and comfort.

My mattress is old and uncomfortable – A mattress topper can breathe new life into an old mattress. If you can’t afford the cost of buying a brand new mattress, a mattress topper is a cost effective alternative.

My mattress is too hot – If you feel that your mattress tends to retain heat, adding a latex mattress topper will help heat circulate and cool your mattress fast. To increase your mattress breathability; it is best to invest in a thicker mattress topper as this will provide a greater barrier between the mattress and your body.

My memory foam mattress caves in on me – Memory foam mattresses can cave in on the body, which can cause people to feel hot and uncomfortable. Adding a latex mattress topper will, therefore, reduce the level of body contouring offered by a memory foam mattress.
