Like any other element of our home that we use daily, our rest equipment suffers progressive wear.
- A good maintenance schedule will allow the mattress to have a longer useful life, but if we check it for signs of wear, the recommendation for hygiene and comfort is to replace it with a new one.
- The general recommendation on the renewal term of our mattress is 8 to 10 years as long as we do not notice obvious signs of wear or malformation, in which case it should be changed as soon as possible to avoid possible health problems and improve our quality dream.
- During the course of the years the components of the rest equipment are losing effectiveness, with what in the end the bad state affects our rest.
- To prevent the period within which we must replace our mattress is shortened, we must ensure that wear is progressive and homogeneous, following a few basic maintenance guidelines as rotate positions every three months.
Should I change all the elements of the rest equipment?
In addition, to maintain mattress conditions it is important to have a good base. The specialists recommend changing the rest equipment if the base presents some type of damage, because a base in bad condition will reduce the effectiveness of the mattress.
The main reason for the change of a bed frame is the breakage of some of its parts or the change of comfort level of the rest set, for example, if you want to increase the total firmness, one of the options is to change the bed base by a rigid base.
Finally, we should not forget that the pillow is also part of the rest equipment and recommend changing it every two years.
