Does your bedding need replacing?

You may not want to dwell on it too deeply, but your bed serves as the ideal living environment for dust mites, bacteria, and various contaminants. Given that you spend almost a third of your life in bed, it's not unreasonable to consider regular replacements for your pillow, duvet, mattress, and even bedding. While weekly washing of your pillowcase, duvet cover, and bottom sheet contributes to maintaining cleanliness and freshness, there comes a point when your mattress and duvet need replacement.

1. Replace pillows:

Pillows are typically the first bed component that requires replacement. On average, a pillow lasts about two years before it loses its supportive properties, potentially leading to neck and back problems. Signs that your pillow needs replacement include inadequate support, uneven distribution of filling even after shaking, and visible spots or stains.

2. Replace duvet:

Duvets generally have a longer lifespan than pillows, averaging around 5 years. However, factors such as excessive perspiration and use by children may necessitate earlier replacement. Signs that your duvet may need replacement include remaining flat despite regular shaking, uneven distribution or formation of 'lumps' in the filling, and visible stains.

3. Replace mattress:

Mattresses typically last around 10 years, absorbing approximately 1,200 liters of perspiration during their lifespan. After this period, a mattress may no longer provide adequate support. Signs that it's time to replace your mattress include experiencing back or neck pain after sleeping, discomfort leading to frequent turning during the night, visible stains, and physical damage.

4. Replace bed linen:

Bamboo fitted sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers are durable and can last for years. On average, after ten years, it's advisable to consider replacing your bedding, as it undergoes wear and tear. The decision to replace depends on factors such as the frequency of use, visible areas of wear, and thinning fabric.
