Later in the episode, Becs shares a tip from the Better Sleep Council: According to the Better Sleep Council, you should replace your mattress around seven years, but you may be able to keep your mattress for longer depending on its materials, usage and how you care for it over the long term. Many people keep theirs for up to 10 years before replacing it.
