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.

Te Koru Kai
What is Te Koru Kai?
Te Koru Kai is a food scrap exchange initiative created to support our Eastside whānau and whenua. Here's how it works:
➡️ You provide us with your food scraps.
➡️ In return, we give you fresh eggs.
➡️ Eventually, this will expand to include vegetables and meat!
This is a kaupapa designed specifically for the Eastside community to promote sustainability, reduce waste, and strengthen connections.
At the moment, Te Koru Kai is full, but I’ve started a waiting list. If you’d like to join, I can add your name, and you’ll be contacted when spaces open up.
