How to Fix a Sagging King Mattress

Are you having trouble with your sagging king mattress? You are not alone. Did you know that a huge percentage of the population of people complaining about a sagging mattress actually use a kind bed? It would seem like a king-size mattress is more susceptible to sags than other types of bed. I would not like to go into the whys of the matter, just the how's.

The first thing you might want to do when you notice very noticeable and uncomfortable sags on your mattress is to contact the manufacturing company. They will ask how bad the mattress really is and how deep the sags are so you have to put up with those queries first. Someone will pick it up from your house so they can fix it. You need to have a separate mattress where you can sleep on for the next two weeks or so.

This method works for some but to many, they again experience the sags after a few months. What to do? Here are a few tips that might actually help you out:

1. Get a good mattress topper. The purpose of the topper is to somehow camouflage the sags in your primary mattress. You might want to choose something with a significant thickness to it. This beats having to purchase a different mattress worth a thousand bucks. Mattress toppers are cheaper solutions. You can always go for memory foam toppers or latex toppers if your current mattress is giving your back aches.

2. You can rotate the mattress for a quarter turn at a time for every month. Do this and you will even start to see those sags slowly flattening out. It won't inconvenience you either since the position can still allow you to sleep comfortably. Also, the covers are fitted quite nicely.

3. Do a little mattress maintenance twice a year. Clean it or take it outside and fluff it up a little. This will help spruce up its deteriorating condition.

The next time you buy a mattress, make sure it is one that can withstand sags for a long period of time. Usually, an ideal mattress can last for at least 15 years before the sags start to appear.

Making the right choices beforehand will not give you this problem. So see to it that you are buying just the right mattress before sealing the deal. This way, you can save yourself a lot of annoying moments.
