When Is It Time to Replace Your Mattress?

McRoskey's Perspective on a Very Personal Decision

Deciding when to replace your mattress often transcends mere timelines; it's about personal experience and comfort. This philosophy is echoed in the story of McRoskey mattresses and their longstanding presence in the lives of those who dwelled in the Bazett House, a Usonian-style home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Built for Sidney Bazett-Jones and Clara Louise Reno in 1940 in Hillsborough, the Bazett House was not just an architectural marvel; it was a backdrop to the lives and stories of its inhabitants, who cherished the personal comfort provided by McRoskey mattresses. This aligns with our belief at McRoskey: a mattress is not just part of your home; it's part of your life's story.

The Frank Family: A Testament to McRoskey's Enduring Comfort

In the 1970s, when the Frank family expanded the Bazett House, they added new McRoskey mattresses, blending the new with the old but retaining some from the original 1940s collection. Fast forward to 2023, Laurence Frank, a member of the Frank family, reached out to us for a new mattress for the master bedroom. Our visit to the house revealed something extraordinary – three generations of McRoskey mattresses still serving the family. Laurence's own childhood bedroom boasts one of the original 1940 mattresses, which has become the favorite sleeping spot for his daughter and her children during their visits. This deep-seated preference underscores the personal connection and enduring comfort our mattresses provide.

Identifying Personal Needs for Mattress Replacement

As the Frank family's experiences suggest, the decision to replace a mattress is deeply personal and influenced by life's changes. It's about assessing how the mattress supports your current life stage and personal comfort.

A Thoughtful Checklist for Replacement

1. Evaluating Personal Comfort: Like the Franks, consider if your mattress continues to meet your unique comfort needs and lifestyle changes.

2. Life Transitions and Your Mattress: Reflect on how your life's transitions, akin to the evolving story of Laurence Frank and his family, may impact your need for a new mattress.

When to Consider a Mattress Replacement

Regularly reassess your mattress, keeping in mind your personal comfort and life changes. This approach mirrors the journey of the Frank family with their McRoskey mattresses – a blend of honoring the past while embracing the present.

In Conclusion: It's About Personal History and Comfort

At McRoskey, we recognize that a mattress is more than a household item; it's a part of your personal history and comfort journey. The enduring story of the Frank family and their relationship with our mattresses in the Bazett House exemplifies this. It's not just about how long a mattress lasts, but how well it fits into the tapestry of your life.

Just like the cherished McRoskey mattresses in Laurence Frank's childhood home, we aim to provide comfort and support that spans generations, adapting to and celebrating each individual's unique story.
