No, it isn’t safe to sleep on a mattress with yellow stains. Yellow stains may form naturally over time, but if your mattress is starting to smell strange or has several patchy stains, it may be bad for your health to sleep on it. If you’re experiencing allergic reactions like sneezing, coughing, or itching while sleeping, this is a strong indicator that your stained mattress is the culprit. Mold could be growing on those stains and settling into your mattress. There could also be dust mites thriving on the sweat or bacteria in your mattress. Both of these things can trigger mild to severe allergic reactions, lung inflammation, and asthma attacks. If your mattress has stubborn stains and your allergies won’t go away, your mattress isn’t safe to sleep on anymore. Yellow stains caused by oxidation are natural and won’t harm you, but staining can be caused by other factors that can lead to serious health problems. If your mattress stains won’t budge, or you’ve had the same mattress for several years, it’s time to ditch your old mattress and get a new one. Sleep has a significant impact on your physical and mental wellbeing. Consider replacing your mattress if: There are permanent dips in your mattress.
You’ve had the mattress for seven years or longer.
You regularly wake up with aching muscles.
You haven’t cleaned your mattress for a long time.
You have breathing issues while you sleep.
While some yellow stains can be cleaned out, others are there to stay. Cleaning can only do so much to refresh and prolong the life of a tired, stained old mattress. If your mattress has stubborn yellow stains despite your best efforts, it’s time to replace it with a new one. A good replacement mattress will support your body and give you a good night’s sleep.
