Does Acid Indigestion Cause Mattresses to Sag?
I have been searching the internet for years looking for ways to reduce my acid indigestion or GERD. A common theme that I have come across is to elevate the head of your set of bedding by placing bricks, or blocks or telephone books under your headboard. While this may be a simple way to achieve this elevation, there are some hidden costs associated with it.
For King and Queen sets of bedding, raising your headboard in this manner lifts the center support of the metal base frame off of the floor. Losing this support for the center of your set of bedding guarantees that you will experience a sag in your mattress over time. Not only that, but it also voids the warranty that came with your mattress!
I was in the bedding industry for 20 years and for warranty claims (mattresses sagging), bedding manufacturers will send an inspector to your house to inspect your mattress if your claim is over $700. They figure that if the cost of the inspection is $30, and he is paid to deny as many claims as possible, they should get a good return on their money. These inspectors are trained to look for evidence of the head of the bed being elevated. Carpet being crushed in the headboard area, wooden floors being scratched or dust free under these areas, you get the picture.
