The general recommendation is to replace a mattress every 7 to 10 years. The exact timeframe depends on the type of mattress, its quality, and how it is used, but mattresses typically lose support and comfort over time, which can impact sleep quality and health. For example, innerspring mattresses last about 7-8 years, memory foam mattresses can last 8-10 years, latex mattresses can last up to 12-15 years, and hybrid mattresses between 7-9 years. Apart from age, signs that it is time to replace a mattress include sagging, lumps, discomfort upon waking, increased allergies or asthma, and difficulty sleeping.
Replacing the mattress at regular intervals helps maintain proper body support, improve sleep quality, reduce health risks from allergens, and overall promote better rest and comfort.
