Mattresses generally last between 7 and 10 years, though this depends on several factors including the type of mattress, its quality, and how well it is cared for

Lifespan by Mattress Type

• Foam: 5-7 years
• Hybrid: 6-10 years
• Latex: 6-10 years (natural latex can last up to 20 years with proper care)
• Innerspring: 7-10 years (quality of coils affects longevity)
• Memory Foam: 7-10 years, with denser foams lasting longer

Influencing Factors

• Material quality: Higher density foams and natural latex tend to last longer.
• Build quality: More expensive mattresses often have better durability.
• Usage: Weight and sleeping style of the user impact wear and tear.
• Care: Proper maintenance can extend mattress life

Signs to Replace

• Loss of comfort and support
• Visible sagging or indentations
• Noise from springs
• Hygiene concerns after many years of use

In summary, while 7-10 years is a common guideline, some mattresses, especially high-quality latex ones, can last significantly longer. Conversely, lower quality mattresses may need replacement sooner. Regular assessment of comfort and support is key to knowing when to replace your mattress.
