When did you last replace your mattress?

We’re waking the nation up to the benefits of a great night’s sleep and a big part of that is ensuring everyone gets a great mattress to sleep on. There are many reasons why it's important to Replace Every 8 and you can read about all of them below.

Four reasons to replace your mattress:

Remember, there’s only a thin sheet between you and your mattress, so after 8 years of being slept on, it’s sure to have soaked up an awful lot of your perspiration and absorbed thousands of your dead skin cells.

In a US study, back pain sufferers reported a 63% improvement after sleeping on a new mattress. And even if you’re not a back pain sufferer, your body still needs the firm support that an old mattress can’t provide.
