Dpoll 52: Do you buy a new mattress every 5 years?
Dpoll 52: Do you buy a new mattress every 5 years?
A good night rest is important.
Once we slept on the floor now we sleep on a mattress or use a waterbed or some special mattress or bed that guarantees us a good night.
I seldom have a good night's rest. No matter which bed I sleep in plus I struggle with the duvet lately. It does not fit on my bed since I bought a new duvet cover. I had to turn it 45° to make it fit in. I wonder how people can sleep underneath it, stay warm during a cold night in an unheated room if it can not even cover the mattress.
The only good news is the whole bed is mine.
I do not need to share it. Still, I sleep on the edge plus I am always facing the door. That must be the punishment of a mother, sleeping close to the door I mean. It's the shortest way out of bed if children need you and... to the toilet. Stumbling around in the dark, breaking my neck at night is not my kind of fun.
@rokhani wrote his son is back home.
Back home means back from the hospital. Once home he went straight to his bed. "An old mattress is better as a hospital bed." I totally agree with that. I had a huge lack of sleep during my stay in the hospital.
An old mattress...
My mattress is old and although they say you should buy a new one every 5 years I do not.
My children sleep on old mattresses too.
I wonder what happens if we all dump our mattress after five years. What a waste.
A mattress is expensive. It all depends on the kind of matress you have and your weight how soon you created a hole in it. Turning it around each month will do your mattress good too.

Nope, no new mattress every five years. As you say, mattresses are expensive. And bulky, big, and too many of 'em in the landfill is a #carbonfootprint I'd rather not leave. In recent years, box springs are going out of fashion (yay!) and new mattresses are smaller, closer to the floor, less space-consuming in the landfill. I often envy the creatures who circle the meadow grass, flatten it into a bed, and sleep under the stars. If not for cold, wet, morning dew, I'd be there too. (And ticks. Ugh! And chiggers.) #BedBugs are spreading into residences now, and exterminators have been busy in the Midwest, tackling infestations in homes. Our daughter works as a patient care tech at a psychiatry clinic, and more than once, a patient has come in with deadbugs on their coats and shoes. What a nightmare for the clinic to evacuate and exterminate the area.
Mattresses... "away in a manger" (hay beneath our backs) sounds awesome to me. But chiggers, ticks, fleas. Dang.
Thanks for this @wakeupkitty!
@carolkean I never heard of anyone here ever having bedbugs.
I wonder if it exists here.
We turned the mattress once a week and vacuumed it against mites/allergies.
Now you mention hay...
My Granny had matresses filled with "seagrass" it looked like hay. We had more filled with it and I slept well on it.
It is a good option. Pity hay is dusty. You could make a mattress yourself.
No
