A mattress is a big investment, and one that you can often begin to take for granted after it has been with you for long enough. However, at some point, you will need to find a way to dispose of your mattress. The question is knowing when is the right time to give it up for mattress disposal.
Ideally, you should switch out your mattress every five to ten years. Some mattress types, like innerspring and memory foam, last longer, while others, like foam, usually only last five or seven years.
However, some people do not have the luxury of knowing the age of their mattress. Maybe it was inherited, bought used, or maybe you’ve just forgotten when exactly you got it. At that point, how are you supposed to know when you need to call us for mattress disposal?
Thankfully, the reason that mattresses need to be replaced is that they stop doing their job as effectively. So, if you don’t know how old your mattress is, you can simply look for signs that it is failing in its job. This can be something like waking up with aches and pains from improper support, squeaky springs when you put weight on it, or physical signs of wear like tears, sagging, or lumps. Another sign is if you’re experiencing allergic reactions like sneezing and congestion after sleeping on your bed.
When you start noticing things like this, it is usually time to get rid of your mattress. When you do, please feel free to call us for our mattress disposal services. With our help, you won’t have to deal with seeing your mattress sit on the curb for weeks or finding out how to dispose of your mattress on your own.
