Why do old mattresses cause pain?

 When sleeping on an old mattress? 

Sleeping on an old mattress can cause lots of problems, such as the old mattress can cause allergies, cause sneezing, runny noses, itchiness, and many more problems as lots of dead skin cells stay on your old mattress over time. Since you spend almost a third of your life in bed, therefore, over time your mattress starts to collect lots of dead skin and body oils, and an old mattress or a mattress that is too soft for you can put unwanted strain on your spine leading to back pain in the morning. An uncomfortable mattress can be the root cause of back pain, hip pain, and neck pain
