May Be the Perfect Time for a New Mattress!

May 1, 2025

If you've been thinking about upgrading your sleep, May might just be the perfect time to act!


Lifestyle Office Furniture is supporting the National Bed Federation's "May Be Time for a New Mattress" campaign, which is all about helping you recognise when it might be time to replace your mattress.


Many people don't realise that an old, tired mattress can seriously affect the quality of your sleep – and your overall health. If you're waking up feeling stiff, sore, or just not as rested as you should be, it could be a sign that your mattress needs an upgrade (either that, or you've been sleeping on a bed that's seen more birthdays than you have!).


How to Tell It's Time for a New Mattress?


  • Age: If your mattress is over seven years old, it might be time to start thinking about a replacement. Mattresses naturally lose their support and comfort over time – no matter how much we wish they aged like fine wine.

  • Visible Wear and Tear: Sagging, lumps, or springs poking through are definite signs that your mattress is past its best. (If it looks like a topographical map, it's definitely time.)

  • Aches and Pains: Waking up with aches, pains, or stiffness can often be traced back to poor mattress support. Your bed should hug you, not hurt you.

  • Poor Sleep: If you’re tossing and turning all night or waking up feeling exhausted, your mattress could be to blame. (Or that guilty late-night cheese binge, but let's start with the mattress.)

  • Better Sleep Elsewhere: If you find you sleep better in a hotel or even on your sofa, your mattress might be letting you down. (Literally.)


Why it Matters


Sleeping on a worn-out mattress can do more than just disturb your night's rest. It can contribute to long-term back and joint issues, impact your mental health, lower your immune system, and even reduce your concentration during the day. A supportive, comfortable mattress is essential for overall health and wellbeing. Plus, your future self will thank you for not waking up feeling like you’ve wrestled a bear overnight.

The National Bed Federation has created a handy Bed MOT tool to help you check whether your mattress is still up to scratch. You can find it (along with a brilliant Bed Buyers' Guide) at www.bedadvice.co.uk.


A new mattress doesn't just improve your sleep – it can boost your mood, energy levels, and general wellbeing. Imagine how much nicer your partner might be after a full night's sleep (and how much less grumpy you might be too!). With our brand-new range of quality beds and mattresses, all handmade in the UK with a 5-year guarantee, there's never been a better time to invest in your comfort.
