At Ottawa Dumpster, we understand that when mattresses are concerned, we don’t always know when it’s time to purchase an upgrade. Much like furniture pieces, mattresses get designed to last long. It’s an investment of a significant amount, and if you’re merely resting on your mattress for a while, you might believe that it will last for a long time. Modern technology is creating innovative beds that are more comfortable as they get equipped with valuable features you can control via your phone.
Suppose you’ve been sleeping on the mattress you’ve had for quite a while, and you’re thinking of moving to a more modern bed or just a fresh mattress. In that case, you’ll require some assistance to dispose of the mattress you’ve had for a long time. Please don’t put off getting an entirely new mattress, as we are available all year long to rent bins in Ottawa.
What signs do you look for when it’s the right time to replace your mattress? We’ll explain the characters; however, consider why it is essential to replace your bed and the benefits it can bring.
1: When You Wake Up, You Feel Back Pains
The first time you get up will not make your day better. If you awake with a stiff back and pain in your neck, shoulders, or hips, your mattress may be the primary cause. Instead of wallowing in misery, consider investing in an upgraded mattress. You will awake to feel rejuvenated.
2: Your Mattress Sinks When Laying on It
Do you lay on your couch and feel like you’re in a sinking ship? If yes, your mattress springs have worn out, and it’s time for a new one. If you are sleeping on your mattress, the mattress should be firm on your body’s touch and feel as if it is helping your body rather than creating a sinking sensation.
3: Your Mattress gets Permeated with Strong Smells
If your mattress has a horrible smell, whether cleaning the bed or using a disinfectant, it is time to replace it. The accumulation of mold, dust mites, sweat, and dust can produce strong odors that remain on the mattress even though you have cleaned it. After you have your bed changed, you will notice the difference since the new mattress is odorless.
4: Your Mattress Has Bed Bugs
Bed bugs came back because you didn’t thoroughly clean it enough. The tiny insects could put hundreds of eggs within an area of your mattress that you overlooked. If bed bugs have plagued your mattress and you had it thoroughly cleaned and returned, you need to switch it out with a new mattress immediately.
5: Your Mattress Has Been Stained
In the past, when you ate or drank before going to bed, you could have spilled food debris or drinks onto the mattress. Additionally, dirty clothing can cause stains on a mattress. If your mattress is covered in staining and is becoming smelly or cannot be eliminated, buying an entirely new mattress is recommended.
6: It Isn’t Quiet When You Are Sitting on It
The most noticeable indicator that your mattress has replacement is when it is squeaky as you sit on it. The mattress’s springs get worn out over time, with memory foam and compressed fibers becoming softer, leading to a mattress that is sagging. If you delay replacing the mattress, there could be a crater within the middle of the bed, making it nearly impossible to sleep.
7: You’ll Be Better Off Sleeping Somewhere Other Than
Do you feel you sleep better when staying at a hotel or a friend’s home? If the response is affirmative, the time has come for you to purchase a new mattress. You must be sleeping comfortably in your bed and not in a hotel.
