Revitalize Your Mornings - Signs It's Time for a New Mattress!
Hi Neighbours,
Feeling sluggish in the mornings or noticing increased discomfort in your back?
It might not just be your alarm clock—it could be time to assess if your mattress is still providing the support you need.
Let's explore the signs that suggest it's time for a new mattress, ensuring your nights are as restorative as they should be.
Health Check: Are You Waking Up Sore?
It’s not normal to wake up feeling like you’ve run a marathon (unless you actually have!). If your mattress is getting older, you might notice more back pain or general discomfort.
Investing in a new mattress can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall health.
Remember, your mattress should be your sanctuary, not a source of discomfort.
If you find yourself tossing and turning, trying to find a comfortable spot, it's a clear sign your body is asking for something new.
Spot the Signs: Physical Indicators Your Mattress Needs Replacing
Take a close look at your mattress:
Does it sag in the middle where you sleep?
Can you feel springs or bumps that weren't there before?
These are signs that your mattress is wearing out.
Over time, mattresses lose their shape and the materials inside break down, failing to provide adequate support.
Don’t compromise on comfort; a new mattress can revitalize your sleep experience. Isn’t that a wonderful reason to consider an upgrade?
How Long Has It Been? Understanding Mattress Lifespan
Every mattress has an expiration date, although it’s not printed on the tag.
Depending on the type—memory foam, innerspring, or others—they generally last 7 to 10 years.
Factors like mattress quality and maintenance affect lifespan.
Think about how long you've had your current mattress.
Is it nearing a decade?
If so, it might be time to start looking for a replacement.
What to Do Next: Choosing and Maintaining Your New Mattress
Selecting a new mattress might seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
Consider your sleep position, body weight, and comfort preferences.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
