Look at the first article especially. It interested me.

Or when you find yourself waking up with aches and pains.
Try
flipping your mattress [some new ones don't require this]
if you
still feel pain, replace it. If you have a bad back a
recent study
<http://www.sleepproducts.org/> found that sleeping on a
new
mattress minimizes pain in just 30 days.
* Pillows:
1 to 3 years
Did you know that One-Tenth of the weight of a two-year-old
pillow
is dust-mite droppings? healthyhomecarpet.com
<http://www.healthyhomecarpet.com/
* Sheets:
5years
Not because of health, but due to just plain wear and tear.
A good
rule of thumb, when the pilling or fraying begins, start
shopping.
You can go the normal Macy's route
<http://www1.macys.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=7495&PageID=
7495*1*24*-1*-1
or try hunting for a bargain at bluefly.com
<http://www.bluefly.com/pages/browse/department.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Ef
older_id=937
which has notable designers such as Dwell

Frette
<http://www.bluefly.com/pages/browse/list.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_
id=6157059&deptFolderId=937&cmNav=true
and others.
* Air Purifier Filters:
6 months
Replace filters every 6 months to avoid recirculating dust
and
other allergens.
* Toothbrushes:
3 months
According to Oral-B <http://www.oralb.com/landing.asp>
clinical
research has shown that a new toothbrush can remove up to
30% more
plaque than one that's 3 months old.
With help from experts and product manufacturers, Real Simple has
compiled a guide to expiration dates. These dates are offered as
a rough
guideline. The shelf lives of most products depend upon how you
treat
them. Edibles, unless otherwise indicated, should be stored in a
cool,
dry place. (With any food, of course, use common sense.)
Household
cleaners also do best in a dry place with a stable temperature.
After
the dates shown, beauty and cleaning products are probably still
safe
but may be less effective.
