What is the recommended lifespan of a mattress?

Asked 2 years ago
The recommended lifespan of a mattress typically ranges between seven to ten years, depending on several factors including the type of mattress, usage, and maintenance. Different mattress materials often have varying durability. For instance, innerspring mattresses usually last around seven to eight years, while memory foam and latex mattresses may last closer to eight to ten years or even longer with proper care. It is important to evaluate the condition of a mattress over time. Signs that it may be time to replace a mattress include noticeable sagging, the development of lumps, and a decrease in comfort and support. Additionally, if the mattress starts to cause discomfort during sleep or if allergies are aggravated, it may be beneficial to look into a new mattress. Keep in mind that regular maintenance, such as rotating the mattress and using a protective cover, can help extend its lifespan.
