Not only that, sleeping on an unsupportive mattress will leave you with an uncomfortable sleep experience and back problems.<\/p>\n<p>However, some mattresses might need to be replaced even sooner &#8212; especially if you relate to the\u00a0signs below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve been traveling or crashed at a friend\u2019s place, and the\u00a0mattress you slept on is <em>way<\/em>\u00a0more comfortable\u00a0than yours.<\/li>\n<li>You wake up sore and feel\u00a0aches\u00a0every morning &#8212; and it\u2019s not because you&#8217;re lifting more weights at the gym.<\/li>\n<li>Your mattress is sagging and has\u00a0lumps and\u00a0bumps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After you purchase\u00a0a new mattress, you can extend the life of it by flipping it or turning it around depending on the type of mattress you\u00a0have.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your mattress is double-sided (doesn&#8217;t have a pillow-top), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/cro\/news\/2007\/12\/q-a-how-often-should-i-buy-a-new-mattress\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">flip it every three to six months<\/a> to keep it from wearing down as quickly.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0If your mattress is a pillow-top, turn it around so that the head is at the foot of the bed.
