Our memory foam mattresses require only minimal upkeep. We recommend rotating your bed every 3 to 6 months to even out the wear and tear. If you do not rotate a mattress regularly, it is more likely to develop lasting indentations.

You should also regularly vacuum on top of and around your mattress to keep any debris from accumulating. If you want to freshen up your mattress, sprinkle baking soda on top and leave it alone for a few hours. Then, vacuum up the baking soda.

To get the most out of a mattress purchase, we recommend investing in a mattress protector. Protectors keep out the dust mites, dirt, and liquids that can compromise your mattress’s support and comfort.

The biggest advantage of a quality hybrid mattress is how its design delivers the best of an innerspring and memory foam mattress. A hybrid has a cooling design like an innerspring mattress thanks to its breathable, bouncy coils. The inches of foam on top of the hybrid conform to your body for pressure relief, ensuring you wake up without any aches.

Why might a sleeper choose to pass on a hybrid mattress? One common reason is that a quality hybrid often costs more than a memory foam mattress of equal quality. Because hybrids contain a mix of materials, they have higher production costs than a foam bed.

Waking up in pain is one sign that your mattress is too firm. If your mattress can’t conform to your body for pressure relief, then you’re more likely to wake up with a stiff back and sore joints. You may also wake up feeling exhausted because you spent the night tossing and turning, trying to find a comfortable position.

To see if your mattress is too firm, try lying down in your normal sleep position. You should feel some give as it conforms to your body; your sleep position determines what the right feel for you is. Side sleepers require a more conforming mattress than back and stomach sleepers.

If your mattress is too firm for your tastes, but you’re not ready to replace it with a new one, you can improve its feel with our Lift mattress topper.

Perhaps the biggest sign that your mattress has gone bad is you’re consistently waking up sore and tired. If you’re an adult sleeping 7 to 9 hours, you should be waking up refreshed and ready to tackle your day. Similarly, you might struggle to fall asleep if your mattress is no longer supportive or otherwise uncomfortable.

Even if you’re getting a decent night’s rest, your mattress may not feel comfortable anymore. If your bed has developed lumps or has spots where you sink in, it’s time to replace it with a new mattress.

Allergy sufferers should also monitor their morning symptoms when they’re evaluating their current mattress. Mattresses, particularly innerspring models, are prone to collecting allergens over the years. If you’re sneezing and sniffling when you wake up, the culprit might be your mattress.
