When was the last time you thought about your mattress?
If you're anything like I used to be, probably not often enough. But a good mattress is key to quality sleep and a healthy lifestyle. After years in the sleep business at Mattress On Demand, I've learned that the mattress you sleep on directly impacts your health, your mood, and your overall well-being. So, let’s get real: how often should you actually replace your mattress?
The truth is, most mattresses have a lifespan of about 7 to 10 years. I’ve noticed that people often hold onto their mattresses far beyond this timeline. But just because it looks okay on the outside, doesn’t mean it’s doing its job properly. It’s kind of like your favorite pair of shoes—you may still wear them, but they might not provide the same support they once did.
But how do you know when it’s truly time for a change? Well, several clear signs indicate it's time for an upgrade. Check out this guide if you're unsure.
I always advise my customers to trust their body’s signals. Are you waking up with aches or stiffness? Does your mattress feel lumpy or uncomfortable? Do you notice sagging or visible signs of wear? If the answer to any of these is “yes,” it’s probably time to shop around. Using an adjustable base with your mattress can help alleviate some discomfort, but it can't fix underlying mattress issues.

Another major factor I’ve seen play into mattress longevity is mattress type. Memory foam mattresses and hybrid mattresses generally last longer than traditional innerspring options, making them popular choices among our customers.

I recently browsed through some online conversations about mattress replacement and saw interesting points that align with my own observations. One person pointed out that heavier users might see their mattresses wear down faster—a fact I've witnessed firsthand with my customers. Another good piece of advice I read was that simply turning or flipping your mattress periodically can make a big difference in how long it stays supportive and comfortable.
Sometimes adding a mattress topper might seem like a good fix, and in the short term, it can be helpful. But from experience, a topper doesn’t actually solve underlying problems. Once your mattress reaches a certain stage of wear, replacing it is the only reliable way to regain full comfort.
I’ve always believed that choosing the right mattress is about more than just sleep comfort—it’s about improving your quality of life. This is why I emphasize personalized solutions at Mattress On Demand. Our team is dedicated to finding the best fit for your individual needs, even if it means recommending something we don’t carry in our inventory. You can read more about selecting the ideal mattress in my detailed blog on the importance of choosing the right mattress.
When looking for a durable mattress, I recommend hybrid or memory foam mattresses for most customers. Hybrids combine the strength and support of traditional coils with the comfort of foam layers, creating a mattress that’s supportive and long-lasting. Memory foam mattresses, particularly those designed with advanced materials, tend to hold up incredibly well over time.
If you're dealing with specific concerns like back pain, selecting the right mattress type is critical. Here’s a guide to help you figure out what works best for you.
There’s a lot you can do to extend your mattress’s lifespan. Regularly rotating your mattress is an easy step that can help distribute wear evenly. I also strongly advise investing in a quality mattress protector. It’s an inexpensive way to keep your mattress clean, hygienic, and free of allergens.
