How To Fix A Sagging Mattress by Y4all: 12:47pm On Feb 19, 2022
Mattress Sagging is one of the commonest complaints of mattress owners. In most cases, you begin to notice some sagging in the areas that you sleep on. Most people are unsure of how to fix a sagging mattress the right way. In fact, many people will simply shrug and put up with it. A saggy or lumpy mattress doesn’t need to be ignored. Despite its giving you an uncomfortable sleeping surface, it can also give rise to orthopedic issues and perhaps excessive tiredness due to the poor quality of sleep.
From a health point of view, lying on a saggy or lumpy mattress have the potency of causing your vertebrae not to align correctly and can abrade on each other. This can lead to disc problems either slipped or even a herniated disc. You may suffer pain anywhere between your neck and the base of your spine including your shoulders. If you have a lumpy or sagging mattress, it is important that you either replace it or repair it. If you fail to do either, then you are setting yourself up for a life of chronic back pain and continual tiredness. So what do you do?
Fortunately, there are ways to fix mattress sagging and indentations, or at the very least, patch up the problem until you can buy a replacement. But before you dive into the details of mattress repair.

How to Fix a Sagging Mattress
These strategies vary in effectiveness, depending on the age of the mattress and the severity of the sagging. Here are a few strategies that you can try:

Use a Mattress Topper
Purchasing a mattress topper can help you sleep more comfortably on a mattress that is sagging. As the name suggests, mattress toppers are simply placed on top of your bed, offering an additional layer of comfort on top of the existing mattress. A good mattress topper can help reduce the effects of a sagging mattress by providing a more even sleep surface. Toppers are affordable and are a temporary measures to improve your comfort.

• Add Extra Pillows
Adding a few pillows in the areas where the mattress is sagging reduces the effects of sagging. However, this is a temporary fix and does not entirely remove the sagging. Make sure to choose pillows with good shape retention. While they aren’t a permanent fix, they’ll add a little bit of the support back that you’ve lost around the sagging area.

• Rotate the mattress
Simply rotating your mattress can do a lot to reduce sagging and prevent future sagging. Without rotation, your body weight will naturally cause the mattress to dip and sag at all the major pressure points (head, shoulders, back, and hips). Every three to six months, you should rotate your mattress, switching the top and bottom of the bed. This can both prevent sagging from happening and reduce sagging that’s already occurring.

• Use Plywood to Reinforce Your Mattress Frame or Foundation
For mattress sagging caused by a faulty base Mattress frames and foundations, also known as bases, provide a flat surface for your mattress. A sturdy, even base helps support your body weight and reduces the natural sagging that comes with prolonged use. Without one, your mattress will sink, likely causing aches and pains. Bases also keep your mattress clean and protected by raising it off the floor. If your foundation can’t hold the weight of your mattress and body, you may need a new mattress base altogether. Depending on the severity of the sagging, you can cut the plywood to the shape of your entire mattress or place a smaller square directly beneath the indentation.

• File a Claim with Your Mattress Warranty
If none of these solutions sounds right for you, you also have the option of filing a claim with your mattress’ warranty before purchasing a new bed out-of-pocket. Be sure to read the terms of your warranty carefully. If you can link the sagging in your mattress to a reason the warranty covers, the manufacturer may either replace or fix your damaged mattress. Most companies will send a person to your home to inspect the mattress.

Signs That You Need a New Mattress
While all these tips and tricks can certainly extend the life of your mattress, no mattress will last forever. Eventually, you’ll need to replace your mattress. How often you should replace your mattress comes down to the kind of mattress you have. If any of the following apply to your bed, it might be time to go mattress shopping.
• Poor Sleep Quality
• Spine or Back Pain
• Broken Mattress


Conclusion
In general, no mattress will last forever, once a mattress has started to sag it’s only a matter of time before it will need to be replaced, as excess sagging leads to pain and restless sleep. In most cases, the lifespan of a mattress is between three to seven years depending on the design, materials, and build quality.
