Question

How long are you supposed to keep your mattress?

Answer 1

Mattress manufactures recommend mattress replacement at least every 10 years which is a pretty good time frame and age for a mattress to be replaced but it depends on if the mattress is worn out or has any tear in it when I decide whether I'm gonna replace the mattress with a new one.

Most times you can keep a mattress longer than 10 years if you use a mattress topper or mattress protector on your mattress.

I have a mattress that is 18 years old and still very comfortable but I've used a mattress topper on it and mattress protector to keep it clean and protect it.

If I hadn't been using a mattress topper and mattress protector to protect the mattress then it probably would need replaced at the 10 year mark.

Answer 2

This is depended on the quality and material of the mattress if it's a spring mattress I may use it for max 10 years and if memory foam mattress or other materials it's advised by Sleepy Foams not to use them more than 5 years. These days several new materials have been introduced in the market which that brands claimed they last for a lifetime.
