Ever wondered if your mattress might be secretly sabotaging your sleep?
I talk with customers all day at Mattress on Demand, and one question I hear pretty often is, "How long does a mattress actually last?" There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but from years of experience—and a bit of common sense—I’ve picked up plenty of insights about mattress longevity.
Most mattresses usually last between 7 to 10 years. But that’s just a rough guideline. The truth is, your mattress might feel perfect after a decade, or it might need replacing after five years. Factors like mattress type, how you care for it, and even your body weight play big roles here. The folks at Sleep Foundation also emphasize this, highlighting that not every mattress ages the same way.
Your mattress tells you a lot—if you’re paying attention. I often suggest to customers that if their mattress feels lumpy, causes aches, or visibly sags, it's probably past its prime. I always say, "If your mattress isn't supporting you anymore, it's time to let go." It's exactly like one commenter mentioned online; mattresses aren't like fine wine. They don’t get better with age!
Absolutely. From memory foam to innerspring, each type has a different lifespan. Generally, memory foam and latex mattresses last around 8-10 years, hybrid mattresses can push toward a decade, and innerspring mattresses are often ready for retirement by year seven. You can see this yourself by exploring the differences between hybrid and memory foam mattresses we carry at Mattress on Demand.

If you’re hoping to get more years from your mattress, here are some quick tips I share with my customers all the time:
Rotate it regularly. Yes, rotating makes a huge difference in even wear. Every three to six months works well.
Protect it. Invest in a quality mattress protector. Sweat and accidental spills shorten mattress life quickly. Check out some quality bedding accessories we offer—they make a massive difference.

I've personally found that using an adjustable base can help spread out pressure points evenly. It doesn’t just feel great—it can help your mattress stay comfortable longer.

If your mattress is still in decent shape but isn’t perfect for you anymore, consider donating it or giving it away. I've seen people repurpose old mattresses as pet beds or offer them up for free online. Of course, if it's stained or damaged, many local waste management companies offer bulk pickups, so disposing responsibly is easier than you might think.
If your mattress shows signs of aging, shopping sooner rather than later is a smart move. When people stop by Mattress on Demand, I always recommend exploring several types. Comfort is subjective, and finding the right fit is crucial. You can start by exploring our mattress selection online first.

I’m often asked if pricier mattresses last longer. Honestly? They usually do. Higher-quality materials tend to hold up better over time. But remember, the best mattress for you isn't always the most expensive. It’s the one that fits your personal comfort, sleeping position, and lifestyle. Check out my blog on the importance of choosing the right mattress if you’re unsure about this.
One thing customers often misunderstand is mattress warranties. Just because your mattress has a 20-year warranty doesn’t mean it'll feel good for 20 years. A warranty covers manufacturing defects—not comfort lifespan. This Sleep Foundation article explains warranties clearly and is definitely worth a quick read.
Ultimately, how well you sleep is a major indicator of mattress health. If you're tossing, turning, and waking up sore, your mattress is probably telling you something. Trust your gut here—and your back!
