Why Is My Mattress Sinking and Sagging?
If you’re waking up feeling less rested and more uncomfortable than when you went to bed, your mattress may be sinking or sagging. Sagging occurs when the materials inside your mattress begin to wear out, causing a once-supportive mattress to become uneven. Common culprits include low-quality foam or thin support layers that compress under body weight over time. For heavy sleepers, this problem can appear sooner, as traditional mattresses aren’t designed to handle higher pressure, leading to the mattress losing support faster.
Mattresses that lack proper internal support structures, such as reinforced coils or high-density foams, tend to sag in areas where pressure is applied the most– typically in areas where the hips, shoulders, and lower back rest. This can lead to uncomfortable dips in the mattress, making it difficult to maintain good spinal alignment during sleep, resulting in those morning aches and pains.
Poor foundation support is another contributing factor. If your mattress isn’t placed on a sturdy base or frame, it may not be able to evenly distribute your weight, speeding up the sagging process.
Your mattress’s age matters. An old mattress will sag and sink over time as its materials wear down, leading to discomfort and poor support. Most mattresses have a lifespan of 7-10 years before wear affects their performance, so if you can’t remember when you bought your current mattress, it might be time for a change.
A Mattress Built for Durability and Support
The good news is that you don’t have to settle for a sagging mattress. Investing in a high-quality mattress designed specifically for the big, tall, and strong can make a huge difference. At Titan, our mattresses are engineered with reinforced coils and high-density foams to offer durable, long-lasting support that resists sagging over time.
Unlike standard mattresses, Titan mattresses are designed to distribute weight evenly across the entire surface, preventing dips from forming in areas of high pressure. This not only helps with comfort but also promotes better spinal alignment, reducing the risk of back pain and other sleep-related issues.
So, if you’re tired of waking up on a sinking mattress, it’s time to upgrade to a Titan so you can reclaim restful, supportive sleep without the worry of sagging.
