Struggling to fall asleep? Waking up tired even after eight hours in bed? The culprit could be right under you—literally. While stress and screens often get the blame for poor sleep, your mattress might actually be the hidden problem.
Here’s how your mattress could be sabotaging your sleep—and what to look for in a better one.
1. Poor Support = Poor Alignment
An unsupportive mattress can cause your spine to fall out of its natural alignment. Over time, this leads to back pain, stiffness, and constant tossing and turning during the night. If you feel like you’re sinking too far or waking up sore, it’s likely a support issue.
Solution: A mattress with a balanced medium-firm feel, like the Bare Home Clean Classic, helps maintain healthy alignment for all sleep styles.
2. Too Much Motion Transfer
Sharing a bed with a partner or pet? If you feel every movement they make, you’re probably waking up more than you realize. Constant disruptions prevent your body from reaching deep, restorative stages of sleep.
Solution: Look for a mattress with motion-isolating memory foam, like the Clean Classic, which minimizes disruptions and lets you sleep undisturbed.
3. Worn-Out Materials
Even if your mattress looks fine, the internal layers may be breaking down. Sagging, lumps, or compressed foam can reduce comfort and support. If your mattress is 7–10 years old, it’s likely no longer performing the way it should.
Solution: Upgrade to a high-quality, durable foam mattress that retains its shape and support over time—without needing flips or rotations.
4. Unhealthy Materials
Traditional mattresses can contain fiberglass or off-gassing chemicals that irritate skin, lungs, or sinuses—especially if you have allergies or asthma.
Solution: Choose a mattress with CertiPUR-US® certified foams and fiberglass-free construction, like the Bare Home Clean Classic. It’s made without harsh chemicals and tested for indoor air quality.
Here’s the Bottom Line
If you’ve been blaming your sleep problems on everything but your bed, it might be time to reconsider. Your mattress plays a major role in how well you rest. Our Clean Classic Mattress will provide comfort, alignment, and a healthy sleep environment—night after night.
