Fact of life: Mattresses don't last a lifetime, even though some of us feel like we've been sleeping on our current mattress for almost that long! Not only does an older mattress lack whatever support it once provided, it's also likely filled with "stuff" (dust mites and bed bugs -- yuck!) that could literally be affecting your health! If you're waking up with a sore back, a rash, or other symptoms of allergies, it's not a stretch to think that your old mattress may be contributing to those woes.
