Do I need a new mattress?
< Back to Health Blogs
‘Do I need a new mattress’ is a very good question.
Many people don’t actually know when it is time to replace the old one. I’ve had people come to see me who have had the same mattress for 25 years and swear it’s really comfortable but just because it feels comfortable doesn’t necessarily mean that it is giving your body the support that it needs. Here is some advice on the main things to look for to tell if it is time for a new one.
There are some tell-tale signs that it is time to get a new mattress with some being more obvious than others.
Obvious signs:
- It has visible signs of wearing such as sagging, ripping, tearing or holes. These are typical signs that it needs an upgrade and you might even start to feel the springs digging in your back.
- You had a much more comfortable sleep in another bed, such as a hotel or staying over at a relatives. This is common because the mattress is a lot more comfortable and provides all you need.
Less obvious signs:
- You wake up with stiffness, aches and pains. Now this can be due to many reasons but your mattress not providing you the support you need is a very common reason and therefore worth investigating.
- It is over seven years old. Probability says that if you have had your mattress for seven years or more then it is not providing the support you need and it is worth comparing it to a brand new mattress by going and lying on one in the shop. The length of time a mattress lasts does depend on a few things such as amount of use and general quality when you bought it but on average you should be expecting around the seven year mark.
- You’re tired after a full night’s sleep. One of the most common things I hear from my guests who have just bought a new mattress is that they slept so much better than they normally do.
If you think that you might need a new mattress my colleague and fellow Doctor of chiropractic Victoria White will soon be publishing a blog post with advice on what to look for when you’re buying a new one.
However, not all aches and pains are down to your mattress so if you are suffering, give us a call at Lushington Chiropractic and see how we can help you.
Yours in health,
Mykel Mason, your Eastbourne chiropractor

I am in my sixties enjoying sports in general. I never had a back problem in my life until I recently experienced sciatica which gradually got worse.
I ended up being completely crippled not being able to walk without extreme pain. Even just standing up was a challenge.
It took about 6 weeks for James to sort me out. I can only praise his extreme professionalism and kindness. I am now back into running, feeling 100% and frankly from where I started, it feels like a miracle.Thank you again Lushington clinic.read more

I won an assessment session with Lizzie who was so kind, thorough, honest and professional.
She identified several issues and admitted that at this moment in time I do not need further treatment but she gave me advise and suggested a couple of exercises that could potentialy stop the issues getting to the stage where I might need treatment in the future.
I really appreciated her help and advice and should I need help in the future Lushington Chiropractic would be my first port of call.
Thank you.read more

A professionally run and very friendly chiropractor, situated in a convenient Town Centre location.
From not being able to walk “normally”…., after a few treatments and some advice regarding posture, particularly whilst sitting, I was very nearly back to absolute normal !
A big thank-you to James and all the team !
Whilst we all remain age 21 from the shoulders up, our advancing years determine changes and regular adjustments to our, once super supple, bodies…, as such…., this is a relationship I will continue for many years to come.read more

I have been attending Lushington Chiropractors for several months now. I first visited after personal recommendation. Initially it was for a ‘trapped nerve’ but over the months my back and posture has really improved and I can feel improvement in many other areas too. I cannot fault the team. The clinic has a lovely welcoming feel to it. The receptionists are all lovely. I have had treatments from Luke, Marie-Claude and Emma and they are all fantastic. Professional yet very friendly and totally approachable. I will continue to use the services Lushington offers and would fully recommend to everyone.read more

Lushington Chiropractic is an amazing service. Exercise had been a big part of maintaining my mood and well-being and I lost this when I injured my hip. Dr Emma assessed my injury as well as other long-standing issues, and with treatment I am now back to exercising!

I made contact with Lushington Road following a recommendation. I have been suffering from acute lower back pain and needed help!
I received a phone call the same day from James who discussed my symptoms and made me an appointment for the following day.
As I arrived in the reception there was an elderly lady who obviously attends regularly, I was stuck by the sincere kindness all the staff showed her and the time they took to talk to her.
I spent an hour with James having an initial consultation, he was patient, thorough, understanding and even let me cry!
I was made to feel incredibly safe and relaxed as he carried out his examination.
James put a clear plan in place of what treatment I would need in the future and how he could help me.
No other health professional has ever taken so much time to fully understand my back pain.
I am going back tomorrow for another appointment and tonight I can honestly say I feel relieved knowing that someone can help me and that my back pain will get better.
Sorry for such a long post but it’s deserved!read more

The team at Lushington Chiropractic are all extremely welcoming, I started going there for regular sessions a few years ago now, for back and neck problems, they were very thorough with their initial assessments and made me feel at ease straight away.
Over the last few years my back and neck pain are pretty much non-existent, I now no longer get headaches (which is a result of less pressure in my neck). I have also used their other services, every now and then, treating my self to a massage and have again got nothing but good things to say. I have seen pretty much every member of the team there and all have been extremely professional and provided an excellent service.
Thanks again guys you truly have made a difference.read more

If you have been thinking about Chiropractic treatment but were unsure I would heartily recommend this clinic. Following a back spasm in 2015 I was unable to walk more than a few steps - after 3 treatments I was able to walk and drive again. The Chiropractors at Lushington are of a very high standard (I have used other clinics in the South East previously) and will provide a diagnosis of the cause of your problem and recommend a suitable course of treatment. I still use the services of Lushington on a monthly 'maintenance' basis, and have also received treatment there recently to treat a trapped nerve in my neck. My advice is to give them I try - I do not believe that you will be disappointed.read more

I would fully recommend to anyone who is in pain & incredibly worried, as I was, to contact the clinic for help.

Having been with a Chiropractor for 20 years it was very difficult when we moved to Eastbourne to move to a new Chiropractor. In fact I was still travelling back to my home town to see my trusted Chiropractor. Unfortunately he retired so I had no choice but to look for a new Chiropractor. I have now been going to Lushington Chiropractic for 6 weeks and can highly recommend the Chiropractic care from James and the Sports Massage from Ben. Give it a try, I did and don't regret it!

To preface this review I will mention that I have been going to Lushington for a number of years, therefore I might be slightly bias but it does give me plenty of experience to review.
I want to start of by saying that I have been to Lushington for 2 major injuries, my shoulder and my back/neck but, I have been going to Lushington for maintenance care for the years in between those incidents.
I am an active person, competing in trampoline and engaging in many other physical activities which means my body is put under a lot of forces.
My experience with Lushington has always been positive. The staff are friendly and engaging, asking how my day/week has been and how my training is going. The facility is clean and well maintained, including the treatment rooms.
For my shoulder, I had a surgery that was for stabilising the shoulder. I was at the NHS physio for 6 months with very little progression in my range of motion. I decided to try another option, Lushington Chiropractic. This was my first experience at the clinic. I managed to regain the majority of my range of motion in my shoulder back within 2 months of regular treatments. I then carried on with Lushington leading to almost full recovery of my shoulder like the surgery hadn't happened. I say almost because there is still some restricted range of motion there, but that is down to surgery I think.
For my back, this was quite a recent injury. During a training session on trampoline I gave myself whiplash. This was not only painful, as I am sure you can imagine, but extremely frustrating as I couldn't drive. I have been going to Lushington, as I did with my shoulder, for regular treatments and now almost 2 weeks after my whiplash I have full range of motion back in my neck, driving again and am looking to get back to training trampoline next week.
I feel like this wouldn't be a fair review if I didn't mention some of the things that could be seen as negative.
Obviously within in any physical health care profession, the practitioners are different and some of the individuals at the clinic are better than others. What Lushington do to combat this is that if you aren't happy with your practitioner then just change them.
There are on occasion due to the busy nature of the clinic some sessions that do run late, this doesn't affect anything other than time for parking, depending on where you park.
Which brings me onto another point. The parking around the clinic can be challenging but I am clutching at straws here as they can't just move site.
And finally the price. As it is a private practice the price isn't the easiest thing to get your head around, and as a masters student it is not nice seeing the money go from my account. Having said that, I would much rather have a healthy body for training than money in my account.
All in all, from my experience the staff and experience at Lushington is great and anyone that is looking to recover from an injury/ surgery or looking to prevent an injury should at least consider going for 1 check up.read more

After suffering from sciatica sporadically over 40 years l thought it was time to try a different solution. What a difference this has made to my life. The staff are friendly & very professional. If like me you suffer from back pain l cannot recommend Lushington Chriopractic highly enough.
After an incident involving a rather unfortunate manoeuvre stepping over my dog l managed to put my back out & trap a nerve. This made my entire right leg extremely painful. Team Lushington have been fantastic! It's been a bit of a haul but again l'm now pain free & able to lead a normal life. Many thanks to James, Stuart, & Dara for their care & treatment.read more

In the New Year I was suffering from a slipped disc and deterioration of my lower back. As a result of this a friend of mine suggested I contacted James from Lushington Chiropractic, which I did.
I am still having treatment with James but I am feeling so much better. There is no more pain relating to my slipped disc and as a result of his treatments and exercises at home I’m able to move around pain free.
Following my, very thorough, first consultation James identified that I had problems from a neck injury from several years back. I’d been having headaches for years and had put it down to stress of life etc. Since James and Kim, who gives an excellent deep massage, have been giving me treatments for this my headaches have subsided.
Additionally to this review I’d like to say thank you to Claire, on reception who does an excellent job and makes you feel very welcome.
Thank you to all at Lushington Chiropractic.read more

Due to work activities I really struggled with pain in my lower back and had always been in fear of seeing a Chiropractor. However I was put at ease mentally and physically by Dr Victoria White. After an intense treatment program my back pain had gone and mobility had also improved. now I see Dr Victoria White once a month for maintenance and I am Pain free. I cannot rate Dr Victoria White high enough an excellent service.
All the team at Lushinton Chiropractic are really friendly especially front of house.read more

I have been going to Lushington chiropractic since Nov 2017, Victoria has well and truly sorted me out. My back was a mess due to my line of work but within a few sessions a she had me walking easier and in a lot less pain. I have kept up my treatment to maintain my new found freedom. I have also started seeing Ryan for a massage. His hands are magic! He found my problem areas without me saying anything and was the best massage I have ever had. All in all these guys are magicians and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!read more

I thought I'd try Lushington as I have a chronic muscular stenosis as well as lumbar arthritis. I had a series of sessions with Joshua French who helped to ease my aches and pains and lower back problems. I've followed that up with a monthly massage from Ryan Keats who takes great care in analysing my specific weaknesses to achieve the best outcome. I am very pleased with the treatment received and know that I can increase or decrease the sessions as it suits me. I particularly like the fact that all treatment is explained carefully and patient notes are kept to assess progress.read more

I was recommended Lushngton by my GP as I had been suffering from a bad back and pain in my leg. I can't thank them enough for their help. Regular chiropractic with massage has helped me immensely. I am no longer on painkillers and can enjoy walking again. The chiropractor, massage therapist and reception staff were wonderful. Made me feel very at ease and enjoyed my visits to them. Thankyou and have recommended to freinds.read more

Highly recommend to anyone needing treatment. Friendly and welcoming reception staff, with very comfortable waiting room. Professional care provided with very successful and effective results. The free evening classes are also super interesting and helpful. I wouldn't go anywhere else to see a Chiropractor and I was quick to notice improvement in my QOL. I also appreciated the time taken to help me understand the cause of my problems and what treatment would help and how. Top class service, 5 stars!read more

I started to see Gemma a couple of months ago with a very debilitating sciatic pain down my left leg, thigh and buttock.The pain increased when I was sitting, and was worse when I was driving or sitting for long periods of time.
I had been in pain for nearly a year. I felt very desperate as no one seemed to be able to help me. The pain was affecting my life in a negative way.
Gemma was very understanding and when she said that she could help me, I was so happy I had come to the right place at last.
Over a numbers of weeks I saw a steady improvement in my pain levels.Gemma was so helpful and showed a huge amount of empathy.At last I had hope that things might actually start to improve.
Gemma made adjustments to my spine and manipulated muscles that weren’t working properly. Slowly I made improvements, driving and sitting watching TV didn’t cause as much pain as before.
Thank you Gemma, I can’t thank you enough and I would have no hesitation in recommending Lushington Chiropractor to my friends and family.read more

Brilliant service by Dr Joshua French at lushington chiropractic, was in excruciating pain and barely able to walk, josh was very professional and incredibly knowledgeable in his field of expertise. After a couple of sessions I was already walking better and standing up straight was much easier. I had a total of 8 treatments and felt like a new man. All the staff were very supportive and I’ve had regular phone calls to make sure I’m ok, couldn’t recommend these guys enough, they all go above and beyond to get you back on the straight and narrow. Thanksread more

I have visited the practice following an excruciating nerve pain down my left arm. The environment is relaxed and I felt at ease with everyone immediately, from the receptionists to the practitioners. Mykel examined me, spotted the problem and within a few sessions with him I had my sleep back. I am now recovering with Gemma and getting better and better. Thanks to Victoria as well for her help. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lushington Chiropractic thanks to the knowledgeable people and the friendly atmosphere.

I have been receiving treatment from Josh since he started a couple of months or so ago. He has helped me tremendously in reducing the amount of pain in my knee by making adjustments to my ankle (never had that before), working on my hip and working on areas surrounding the knee. Within the first 2-3 sessions with him the severe pain I had for a year and a half prior was reduced by around 80% and I can now load my knee a lot better and continue to progress. He has also really helped my shoulder by making adjustments to my neck and spine which has allowed me to exercise more and recover better from my workout's after having 4 shoulder surgeries. I would highly recommend him for both sports people and also to people just looking to get their bodies moving in the correct way and reducing unnecessary stress on the joints. He's a great guy aswell so you will really get on with him, he will really look after you and has great knowledge too. I have also seen other chiropractors at the clinic and masseuse's and they have also been great. Thank you Josh and to all the staff at lushington including the reception staff who are great.

I have been going to Lushington Chiropractic for a number of years now and I am very impressed with the whole experience.
The first thing you notice is just how pleasant the place is, it is always spotlessly clean, well looked after and a rather calming environment.
The clinic staff are wonderful, they always have a smile and a cheer for you, and everyone I have met at the clinic makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in the door, which I really do like and value.
Dr Revell, as are all the staff, is very attentive to your concerns and makes you feel at ease and takes the time to explain to you any proposed treatments, and I never feel like talking to him is too much trouble or a problem.
I always feel better after visiting and would thoroughly recommend the clinic to anyone looking for a high-quality service and practice with a patient focused approach.read more

I have the highest of praise for Lushington Chiropractic. I first attended last Autumn in some discomfort, minimal flexibility and with ever growing pain in my neck, shoulder, arms and fingers. I was assigned to Vicky who I cannot express just how much she has helped me and I am now without pain, standing straighter then I have in years and now I feel I am able to take on more.
I was deeply impressed by how thorough Vicky was in going through my medical history and she was able to say that she would be able to help me. She was certainly true to her word. I now look forward to the treatments as Vicky's professional attitude and very warm personality ensures I am always relaxed. I cannot recommend Vicky enough and I can say the same for the other chiropractors who have seen me when Vicky was fully booked. At these times it was very clear that my treatment plan had been shared and I so appreciated this consistency in approach.
If you are struggling in some way with back pain or something similar, book yourself a consultation and see what it can do for you.read more
