However it seems the statistics show quite a different trend is taking place with one of the most important aspects of the bed - the mattress.

Mattress comfort is another consideration and I was surprised to read that some people are sleeping with a mattress that is the wrong size for the bed. I presume this is in an effort to save money and / or space (depending how the room is set up).
Checking the firmness of your mattress should also be considered when you are looking at purchasing one. Firmness will wear over time and typical signs of this include spring openings on the fabric and dips in the mattress itself.
Frankly, a mattress is not an expensive item to replace and if you already have a sturdy bed frame you might be able to replace it on its own. If you are looking for a whole new bed then most manufacturers will tell you to replace the mattress too, this way the new mattress can adapt to the new bed, rather than reforming based on the shape of the old one.
