Read our guide on finding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/most-comfortable-mattress\/\">most comfortable mattress<\/a> for your sleep needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Types of Mattresses<\/h2>\n<p>Mattresses contain different materials; each has its own deadline. While a good mattress can last up to 10 years, this number varies depending on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/types-of-mattresses\/\">type of mattress<\/a> you have. Some materials last longer than others, while some have a greater risk of breaking down sooner. Below we list each mattress type and their average lifespan.<\/p>\n<h3>Memory Foam<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A memory foam mattress tends to last up to 10 to 15 years<\/strong>. Foam density helps determine how long a memory foam mattress will last. Low-density foam is less durable and more likely to disintegrate sooner than high-density foam.\u00a0Look for mattresses that have higher-density foam near the top of the mattress, as that is where most of the weight is absorbed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to replace a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-memory-foam-mattress-reviews\/\">memory foam mattress<\/a> when the indents are 1 to 2 inches deep and body indentations don\u2019t disappear.<\/p>\n<h3>Innerspring<\/h3>\n<p><strong>An innerspring mattress tends to last up to 8 years<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-innerspring-mattress\/\">Innerspring mattresses<\/a> contain a comfort layer of material, sometimes foam, sometimes just filling, and a steel or titanium coil support core. Durability is determined by the coil\u2019s gauge, or thickness\u2014the higher the number, the thicker the coil.<\/p>\n<p>Thinner coils can result in poor support and risk sagging. It\u2019s time to get rid of an innerspring mattress when there\u2019s sagging greater than 1 inch, the sleep surface is lumpy, or if you can feel coils poking through when you lie down.<\/p>\n<h3>Hybrid<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A hybrid mattress usually has a shorter lifespan, typically lasting around \u00a06 to 7 years<\/strong>. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-hybrid-mattress\/\">hybrid mattress<\/a> consists of memory foam or latex comfort layers with pocket coils in the base for support. Hybrids try to combine the best of memory foam and innerspring into one perfect mattress without the respective downsides of either type.<\/p>\n<p>The same rules of innersprings also apply to hybrids\u2014 avoid low-density foam and coils with a low-gauge rating. It\u2019s time to toss out a hybrid mattress when body indentations don\u2019t recover and there\u2019s a sag deeper than 1 inch.<\/p>\n<h3>Latex<\/h3>\n<p><strong>A latex mattress usually has a long life expectancy, keeping its shape up to 15 years<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/how-long-does-a-latex-mattress-last\/\">Latex mattresses last<\/a> so long because they resist impressions. Latex foam is derived from the sap of rubber trees. Both all-natural and synthetic varieties are available. Synthetic latex, while cheaper than natural latex, will wear out faster.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-latex-mattress\/\">latex mattress<\/a> may not be for everyone because of its firm feel. It\u2019s time to replace a latex mattress when body indentations don\u2019t fade and sagging is greater than 1 inch.<\/p>\n<h3>Waterbed<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Though there is more maintenance involved, a waterbed can last up to 7 to 10 years<\/strong>. Waterbeds consist of a square-like, vinyl bag filled with water. Customers can purchase waterbeds with a specific range of motion. Some come with full-wave motion, others with partial wave motion, and then a few come with no water motion. Waterbeds face the risk of leaking from the vinyl container. It\u2019s time to replace when leaks start to accumulate.<\/p>\n<h3>Air Mattress<\/h3>\n<p><strong>There is a significant variation in air mattresses, but generally, they last up to 3 to 8 years<\/strong>. An air mattress doesn\u2019t necessarily refer to a typical blow-up mattress. It can consist of a single or multiple air chambers that provide comfort and support. While airbeds don\u2019t come with the risk of materials breaking down, their mechanical features are more likely to malfunction and require repairs and part replacements.<\/p>\n<p>Airbeds may also sag if they include comfort layers. Should sagging occur or if the cost to repair a mechanical part is too high, it\u2019s time to replace that air mattress.<\/p>\n<h2>What Affects Lifespan<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cLifespan\u201d refers to the duration in which a mattress can retain its original support and comfort. A quality mattress should have a lifespan of between 7 to 10 years. A mattress\u2019 lifespan can be affected by how often it\u2019s used, the amount of body weight applied to it, and how it\u2019s maintained.<\/p>\n<h3>Use<\/h3>\n<p>We all have those mornings where we wish we could lounge in bed all day, but the constant pressure can wear down on your mattress. After constant use, wear and tear can start to show over time. Guest beds are the exception since they aren\u2019t consistently used and last longer.<\/p>\n<p>If a mattress has a life expectancy of 10 years based on eight hours of sleep, obviously the life expectancy goes down as the average amount of use goes up.<\/p>\n<h3>Body Weight<\/h3>\n<p>Increased pressure shortens the lifespan of a mattress. In contrast, less weight and less pressure results in a longer lifespan. Before purchasing a new mattress, consider your body weight and the bodyweight of your sleep partner.<\/p>\n<p>Those with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-mattress-for-heavy-people\/\">heavier body types may need a thicker mattress<\/a>. More material provides better comfort and support. If a person who weighs more than 230lbs. were\u00a0to purchase a mattress thinner than 10 inches, they\u2019d experience deep sagging with little to no support.<\/p>\n<h3>Care<\/h3>\n<p>It may seem like there\u2019s little you can do for your mattress. It isn\u2019t like a care that needs an oil change every two-thousand miles<\/p>\n<p>But there are two simple things you can do to help keep your mattress in good shape.<\/p>\n<p>First, put your mattress on a warranty-protecting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-mattress-foundation\/\">sturdy foundation<\/a>. Sometimes people buy a new mattress and put it on an old box spring. The problem is old box springs usually offer minimal support to your mattress and this can lead to sagging issues.<\/p>\n<p>Second, cover your mattress in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-mattress-protector\/\">waterproof mattress protector<\/a>. You may think if you don&#8217;t drink in bed or have any incontinence issues, you won&#8217;t need a mattress protector. But the truth is sweat also seeps into an unprotected mattress, along with dust mites and other allergens. Keep your bed clean by using a protector.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link-callout\">While a new mattress can help alleviate pressure points, they offer only a few of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-adjustable-beds\/\">benefits that adjustable bed frames<\/a> can provide. Read our guide to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Warranty<\/h3>\n<p>The length of the warranty coverage doesn\u2019t necessarily determine a mattress\u2019 \u00a0lifespan, but it gives you an idea of how long the company expects their mattress to last. Most mattresses come with a standard 10-year warranty. Always read the fine print before purchasing a mattress. Know what to expect from a manufacturer and what the manufacturer can expect from you.<\/p>\n<p>Defects covered by the warranty vary depending on the type of mattress. Typically, a warranty will list justifiable defects versus non-justifiable defects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Justifiable defects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00bd to 1 \u00bd inch sagging<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturer flaws that may cause damage to the product<\/li>\n<li>Protruding coils and wires<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Non-justifiable defects:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sagging measurements outside of what\u2019s considered defective<\/li>\n<li>Repair or replacements based on the owner\u2019s personal preferences<\/li>\n<li>Damages from misuse or lack of care<\/li>\n<li>Bed bugs, mold, and mildew<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Repairs and Replacements<\/h3>\n<p>Every warranty includes a guarantee that the manufacturer will replace or repair a defective mattress. For each repair and\/or replacement, owners may have to cover the following charges:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shipping and transportation costs<\/li>\n<li>Inspection fees<\/li>\n<li>Upgrade cost if replacing the old model with new, updated one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Prorated vs. Non-Prorated<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cProrated\u201d refers to a division of cost, meaning after a certain time period, customers will need to pay a certain amount should a defect occur or a repair be needed, while the company will cover the rest. A non-prorated warranty means that the company will repair or replace the mattress at no extra cost to the customer.<\/p>\n<h2>Make It Last<\/h2>\n<p>By adding bedding accessories like a mattress protector and topper, and cultivating good sleep habits, like keeping pets out of the bedroom, you can improve the lifespan of your mattress. Improper care could void your warranty.<\/p>\n<h3>Mattress Protector<\/h3>\n<p>Mattress protectors shield beds from spills and stains. Many include protection against dust mites, bacteria, and bed bugs. While many beds come with a mattress cover, it may not be enough protection. Invest in an encasement, which covers all sides of the mattress. Most are machine-washable, and it\u2019s easier to wash a mattress protector than it is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/how-often-should-you-replace-your-mattress\/\">replace a mattress<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Mattress Topper<\/h3>\n<p>Mattress toppers provide an extra-plush comfort layer for users who feel their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/mattress-too-firm\/\">mattress is too firm<\/a> or unsupportive. Mattress toppers also act as another barrier between the environment and your mattress. They keep dead skin cells and bodily fluids away from the mattress, with more wear on the topper instead of the bed.<\/p>\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-mattress-topper\/\">mattress toppers<\/a> are not a substitute for a good protector or encasement.<\/p>\n<h3>Flip\/Rotate Regularly<\/h3>\n<p>By flipping and rotating your mattress regularly, wear is evened out and reduces the risk of sagging. Many newer mattress models don\u2019t require flipping or rotation because of their one-sided construction. If you own a flippable mattress, it\u2019s best to flip and\/or rotate it every six months.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs It\u2019s Time For a New Mattress<\/h2>\n<p>As much as you want your mattress to last, at some point, it will reach its expiration date. Know the warning signs that you\u2019re due for a new mattress, and avoid putting up with the same discomfort each night.<\/p>\n<h3>Sagging<\/h3>\n<p>Sagging may happen if you favor a specific side or area of the mattress. It can occur in any type of bed except waterbeds. Sagging can disrupt sleep and cause sleepers to wake with aches and pains in the morning. Using mattress toppers and rotating the mattress are only temporary solutions.<\/p>\n<h3>Back Pain<\/h3>\n<p>If you wake up with back pain or feel discomfort when lying down, your mattress could be the cause. If you experience back pain, see if the pain occurs in the same area and if it happens after using the bed\u2014 if the pain goes away after getting up and stretching, it\u2019s probably time to replace your mattress.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link-callout\">To get the most comfortable sleep and wake up every morning pain-free, read our guide on finding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/whats-the-best-mattress-for-a-bad-back\/\">best mattress for a bad back<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bed Bugs &amp; Dust Mites<\/h3>\n<p>Without the protection of a mattress protector, dust mites and other allergens can accumulate inside your mattress over time, even with proper cleaning and care. Bed bugs can happen at any time, and are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/how-to-get-rid-of-bed-bugs-in-a-mattress\/\">extremely hard to remove<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve tried DIY methods for getting rid of the infestation and it doesn\u2019t seem to be going away, it\u2019s time for a new mattress. Shopping for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-hypoallergenic-mattresses-for-allergies\/\">hypoallergenic mattress<\/a> can even help you find relief from daytime symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3>Non-Removable Stains and Smells<\/h3>\n<p>Over time, stains can pile up. A regularly used mattress may aggravate allergies and accumulate bacteria or other debris. \u00a0You know it\u2019s time to replace your mattress if the stains and smells linger despite regular cleaning.<\/p>\n<h3>New Noises and Uneven Surface<\/h3>\n<p>If you start to hear new sounds when lying down on your mattress, like grinding metal and loud squeaking, it may be time for a new bed. These types of sounds usually signal that the mattress\u2019 materials are starting to break down. Another warning sign is if you can feel the springs or the surface is lumpy.<\/p>\n<h3>More Than 7 Years Old<\/h3>\n<p>After 7 years have passed since your last purchased a mattress, take the time to evaluate its current comfort level and support. If you find yourself with more sleep disruptions due to pain or sleep better in other beds, it\u2019s time for a new mattress. Guest beds are an exception to this rule, since they\u2019re not used as often and can last longer.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is a new mattress worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Is getting a night of good sleep worth it?&#8221; is what you should be asking yourself. Sleeping on a worn-out mattress likely means losing out on precious hours of rest and recovery. You might wake up with a sore back, a stiff neck, or a headache. Perhaps you find that you feel sluggish because you didn&#8217;t get a full night&#8217;s rest.<\/p>\n<p>Buying a new, high-quality mattress means that you&#8217;re investing in a good night&#8217;s sleep for many years to come.<\/p>\n<h3>How often should you buy a new mattress?<\/h3>\n<p>The general recommendation is to buy a new mattress every 8 years, but when your mattress needs replacing depends on its type and how high-quality its materials are. An inexpensive innerspring mattress may be too unsupportive to sleep on within 5 or 6 years, while a quality foam mattress might last up to 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>While age is an important factor to consider when it comes to replacing your mattress, the more important consideration might be your mattress&#8217;s condition. Is the mattress still in good shape, or has it developed lumps, tears, permanent indentations, and sagging? Also ask yourself how well you&#8217;re sleeping; if you struggle to fall asleep or wake frequently in the night, it might because your mattress has grown uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you flip mattresses anymore?<\/h3>\n<p>Many mattresses today are not designed for flipping. While most innerspring mattresses can still be flipped, foam and hybrid mattresses are usually designed with a stiff supportive layer on the bottom and a comfort layer on top. So flipping the mattress means sleeping on the less comfortable side, and it might even compromise the bed&#8217;s support and flatten the comfort layer, reducing the bed&#8217;s effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>You may find the rare double-side foam or hybrid mattress, but many of these models have a different firmness on each side. So if you flip it, you might not feel comfortable on the reverse side.<\/p>\n<p>While flipping your mattress may be falling out of favor, it&#8217;s still a good idea to rotate your bed every 3 to 6 months. This evens out wear and tear on the mattress, promoting a longer lifespan for your bed.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I know if my mattress is causing my back pain?<\/h3>\n<p>A quality mattress leaves you feeling better waking up than you did going to sleep. If your back feels fine when you lie down and you wake up feeling sore and stiff, it might be your mattress&#8217;s fault. Another sign that you&#8217;re sleeping on a bad mattress is that you toss and turn, struggling to feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to test if it&#8217;s just a bad bed or a medical condition, try sleeping elsewhere. If you sleep better in your guest room or on the couch than you do in your own bed, it might be a sign that you should replace your mattress.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you sleep on a new mattress straight away?<\/h3>\n<p>Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/best-mattress-in-a-box\/\">mattress in a boxes<\/a> include instructions that suggest you wait between 8 to 24 hours before you sleep on your new bed. This recommendation is mostly to let the bed fully expand after unboxing, which is when the bed feels most comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepjunkie.com\/can-you-sleep-on-a-memory-foam-mattress-before-24-hours\/\">sleep on your mattress sooner<\/a>, but don&#8217;t be surprised if you don&#8217;t sleep that well the first night. Once your bed has finished expanding and you&#8217;ve adjusted to your new mattress, you should be sleeping well. If not, you might want to see about returning or exchanging your bed\u2014that&#8217;s why we always recommend buying a bed with an attached sleep trial.<\/p>\n<h2>Make the Switch to a New Mattress<\/h2>\n<p>After tossing that old mattress, it\u2019s time to find a top mattress you can rely on. Remember: mattresses don\u2019t last forever\u2014 materials break down and mattresses wear out over time.
