Experts recommend buying a new mattress once every seven years or so. If you are having trouble sleeping, or if your current mattress is causing joint pain, you may find that a new mattress can make your life much more comfortable.

In this video, a physical therapist offers some insight into what kind of mattress is ideal for your spine. If you get a mattress that’s too soft, it will cause your spine to bend during the night, which can worsen any spine conditions you may have. However, it’s important for a mattress to have a little bit of give. Your spine should be more-or-less straight while you sleep.
