It goes without saying that the chance of you having the same mattress throughout your life is very low. And since you spend so much time in bed, you need to ensure that your mattress is promoting a solid sleep and healthy lifestyle, rather than detracting from it.

It’s actually recommended to invest in a new mattress every 7 to 10 years, give or take, based on the type of mattress you have, usage, and the type of material it is made out of. You may also want to switch out your mattress due to seeking a higher quality product, wanting a different size, moving to a new home, or even injuries.

Signs that your mattress needs to be replaced:

• You have trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep
• You wake up tired and achy…as though you are not getting a solid night’s rest
• You struggle getting into a comfortable position
• You feel your partner’s movements more often, so the point that you keep waking up during the night
• Your mattress springs are creaking
• Your mattress is lumpy and/or saggy

How do I dispose of my old mattress?

The thought of getting rid of something as big and bulky as a mattress can seem overwhelming…especially if you do not have a truck.

Depending on the state of your mattress, you’ll either want to donate it or have it recycled. Many people are surprised to hear that mattresses, futons, and box springs are actually banned from landfills. That said, if your mattress was involved in any type of infestations, has holes, rips, stains, or structural problems, it should go without saying that it would not be suitable for donation.

Contact a reputable junk removal company like Dunbar Disposal and we’ll take care of the mattress disposal for you! We’ll pick it up at a time of your convenience and haul it to a licensed recycler. And guess what? Your old mattress will be recycled into insulation, carpet, foam, or even a steel product.
