Old mattresses
There are many signs that you need to replace your old mattress beside the visible signs of deterioration, such as lumps, bumps or dips. One of them is that old mattresses can get really dirty and absorb all sorts of things, such as humidity from the air around them, which can contain a whole host of airborne pollutants.
Apart from that, if you’ve bought your mattress more than 10 years ago, you’ve got another reason to change it. That’s because a quality mattress is expected to last about 10 years but only if it is properly maintained. If your kids have been jumping up and down on your bed or if you’ve gained a few extra pounds in recent years, chances are your mattress is pretty damaged. Luckily, you can recycle it so ask the company that’s delivering your new mattress if they can take the old one away for recycling.
