Trouble falling asleep? A good night’s sleep is the ultimate cornerstone of overall well-being, and a supportive mattress is the most important part. But here’s the catch: mattresses, just like any companion, eventually show signs of wear and tear.
So, the big question lingers – how often should you replace your mattress?
The lifespan of your mattress depends on various factors, with the type of mattress being a crucial determinant. Generally, most mattresses should be replaced every 7 to 10 years for optimal sleep and comfort. Read on to find out more based on your mattress type.
Memory Foam Mattresses
Memory foam mattresses have taken the sleep world by storm, and for good reason. Their ability to contour to your body’s shape while providing much-needed support has made them a favorite. With proper care, these marvels can last up to a decade. Just remember to take good care of it by rotating it 180 degrees every 3-6 months, ensuring you don't overstay your welcome in one spot and giving those foam cells a chance to rejuvenate.

Innerspring Mattresses
Innerspring mattresses consists of a classic coil system, offering a bouncier slumber. However, their lifespan is a tad shorter, ranging between 6 to 7 years. To stretch their longevity, make it a ritual to rotate them every 6-12 months, but you can tell when it has reached the end when there’s excessive sagging and you feel the coils poke through.
Hybrid Mattresses
For the best of both sleep worlds, hybrid mattresses are your golden ticket. Blending innerspring coils with layers of plush foam, these dreamboats often last between 8 to 10 years, provided they’re maintained properly just like any other mattress.

Remember, your mattress is more than just a sleep accessory; it's your haven of restful rejuvenation. So, understanding when it's time to part ways with the mattress that has been your loyal companion for years is crucial to getting your beauty sleep.
