Can you remember the last time you got a really great night’s sleep?

How long ago was it? Was it even in your own bed?

Was it in a hotel or your favourite armchair?

Most often the answer is that it was somewhere other than in your own bed. But it should have been the place where you spend the most of your sleep time – in your own bed. Your mattress plays a key role in the type of sleep you get each night and an uncomfortable and/or unsupportive mattress can rob you of that sleep. To make sure you are having the best night’s sleep, check that your mattress provides you with the comfort, support and space that you need.

It may be time for a new mattress if:

1. You wake up with pain, stiffness and soreness
2. You do not sleep as well as you used to one year ago
3. You had your best night’s sleep somewhere other than in your own bed
4. Your mattress shows visible signs of wear and tear
5. Your mattress has outlived its effective comfort life
