There are several factors to take into consideration when deciding if you need a new mattress. Below are some signs that your mattress has lost its support.

• You tend to sleep better at other places than at home (such as a hotel).

• Your mattress shows visible signs of wear (it's saggy or lumpy).

• Rotating your mattress no longer provides the desired comfort change.

• Your mattress is 6-8 years old (this depends on the type of mattress you have, along with the factors listed above).

• You wake up tired or achy.

It is recommended that your sheets and pillowcases be changed once a week, with duvet covers once every two weeks at most.

Most stomach sleepers prefer a firmer comfort level to provide increased support to the midsection and prevent the back from arching unnaturally.

If you are a side sleeper, we recommend a pillow top that has an added layer of soft padding stitched to the mattress's top. Besides supplying an extra layer of sumptuous, cloud-like luxury, the pillow top mattress is also effective for soothing side sleepers' hip and shoulder pressure points. Check out our wide variety of pillow top mattresses.

There is not one mattress that is best for a bad back. The most important thing to look for is a mattress that will keep your spine properly aligned. This is often a different mattress for each person, depending on your body type and preferred sleeping position.

A mattress set includes a mattress and foundation. If a new bed frame is needed, it will need to be purchased separately. If you have an existing frame, please keep in mind that most manufacturer's warranties have specific requirements regarding support, and you should ensure that your existing frame provides adequate support for your new sleep set to protect your warranty coverage.
