Have you had the same mattress since 2011? Discover the impact on your rest

It may seem like a small detail, but the mattress we sleep on plays a major role in our health and wellbeing. If you are still sleeping on a mattress from 2011, it may be time to reconsider. Here is why:
- Loss of support and comfort: over time, mattresses lose firmness and the ability to support the body correctly. This can cause back, shoulder and neck pain, as well as interfering with sleep quality.
- Build-up of dust mites, dust and bacteria: over the years, mattresses accumulate dead skin cells, dust mites, dust and bacteria. This can aggravate allergies and respiratory problems.
- Interrupted and less restorative sleep: when the mattress does not adapt to the body, we sleep badly without realising it. Constant movement to find a comfortable position and poor posture during the night lead to fragmented sleep.
Specialists recommend changing the mattress every 7–10 years. Sleeping on a mattress within this cycle ensures adequate support, hygiene and comfort.
Sleeping on an old mattress may seem like a detail, but it directly affects sleep and health. Investing in a new mattress means investing in more restful nights, less pain and greater day-to-day wellbeing.
