Although our rest equipment does not mention an expiration date as they exist in food, the passage of time also entails a wear of the materials and the possibility that over time your rest will be affected in a negative way.
Therefore, from Pikolin we want to answer several questions that you may have regarding your rest equipment.
HOW MUCH TIME IS IT ADVISED TO CHANGE THE MATTRESS?
The general recommendation on the renewal term is between 8 and 10 years. During this period of time, the components of the rest equipment are losing quality and effectiveness until reaching a point where their use can harm our rest. To reach this period, the ideal is to achieve progressive and homogeneous wear, therefore, basic maintenance steps must be followed. That is, a mattress that has not been rotated and rotated as recommended will lose its properties more quickly for a proper rest.

In addition, to maintain mattress conditions it is important to have a good base. The specialists recommend changing the rest equipment completely, because a damaged base can diminish effectiveness of the mattress.
Nor should we forget about the pillow whose renewal period is a maximum of 2 years.
IS THAT PERIOD EQUAL FOR ANY MATTRESS, WHAT IS THE MATERIAL?
Advances in the rest industry have made even the simplest mattresses have a satisfactory durability; that is, breakages or subsidence are prevented. But this is not enough. In addition to durability, it is important to maintain the capacity of the equipment to guarantee optimal conditions for rest. Continuous wire technology such as Normablock® or Normactive® from Pikolin, or new sophisticated materials such as Bultex®, place special emphasis on the rest equipment maintaining its properties throughout its useful life.
IF THERE ARE FLOODS OR THERE ARE ABOLITIES, DOES THE MOMENT OF CHANGE ACCELERATE?
With a good maintenance mattress wear is very progressive and it is not noticeable since we sleep every day in it, little by little we get used to it. The clear evidences are two, the time passed from the date of purchase and, the most important, not sleeping well, getting up with back pain and with the sensation of not having rested.
IF YOU RISE WITH BACK OR TIRED PAIN, IF YOU DO NOT SLEEP ENOUGH HOURS ... IS IT THE MOMENT OF CHANGE?
32% of the Spanish population uses these two expressions: "I get up tired, without energy" and "I wake up with muscular pains", the percentage of people who use these two phrases increases significantly when the mattress on which they sleep has more than 10 years.
NOW THAT I HAVE A DISEASE, I HAVE INCREASED OR DECREASED WEIGHT, IS IT ADVISABLE TO RENEW MY REST TEAM?
Since each case is very specific and it is difficult to give general recommendations in these cases.
From Pikolin we recommend to go to the specialist doctor so that he is the one who would advise him what type of mattress and / or pillow would be the ideal one for each specific situation (level of firmness and adaptability, etc ...).
ALWAYS YOU CHANGE THE MATTRESS, DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE SOMIER?
It is advisable.
It is best to inform the specialist about the mattress or base that you have at home so that he is the one who recommends the best option. All this after having inspected us at home if it shows obvious signs of wear, in which case it has to be changed.
