The reasons you should never buy an old mattress

By Jeff Smith


I agree with the person who said that most of our life is spent horizontally.

Most people in developed countries sleep on mattresses.

A mattress acts as support while you sleep. It keeps the back in the position it needs to be in to provide lumbar support. Otherwise, you might develop back problems if you do not do this.

While buying a mattress, you stand to get a good proposition. There are several choices of mattresses at your disposal with some being made up of cotton and durable fabrics. They have springs for added support. There are some designed as water beds that make the use of water as the supporting medium.

There are also some that look like air mattresses. These make the use of air as the support medium and can become very sophisticated. They make the use of channels for the air hence can be adjustable for any person.

The latest mattress design uses foam as a medium. While you sleep, these mattresses conform to your body. The biggest benefit that you can get with these mattresses is that you can never get disturbed while you sleep with another person.

An important factor with any mattress is that it is meant for a particular person. The person that formally owned the mattress has use it and has "broken" it in for them.

There are several reasons against obtaining your mattress on the second hand market.

The first very important reason is that neither you nor anyone else can guarantee that the mattress is sanitary.

To be frank, bedbugs and body lice are a real problem. Buying a used mattress puts you in jeopardy of coming in contact with this problem. You need to avoid this at any cost as these pests spread quickly around your house.

The next problem with buying a used mattress is that the mattress you will buy has been used by someone else. The mattress might have indentations that fit a particular person for whom it was made for meaning that it might have several indentations that might not fit you.

To conclude, you might not be in the know of the condition of the mattress. It might have broken springs. If it is the adjustable bed like the comfort bed, the control will be old and might not work to your satisfaction.

As we all need a bed to sleep on, it is perhaps better to get a new one rather than getting someone else's problems with an old one.
