Do you need a new bed?
If your bed is more than ten years old, it probably isn't giving you the comfort you need for a good, healthy night's sleep. Your mattress life-span for offering optimum support and comfort will vary depending on its quality, frequency of use, the wear and tear it undergoes (as a heavier person will wear out a bed more quickly than a lighter one, and a couple more quickly than a lone person), and how well it's looked after
In case you're tempted to use a second hand bed, consider that old beds also play host to 1000s of dust mites, which can aggravate eczema and asthma. Also the mattress will have formed itself into the ideal sleeping position of the previous owner, not yours, meaning that you will never enjoy the best possible support and comfort
