How Long Do Mattresses Last?
Most quality mattresses last 7 to 10 years, with pocket sprung and hybrid builds often lasting toward the higher end when rotated regularly and used with a supportive base. Signs it's time to replace include visible sagging, lumps, waking with aches that ease once you're up, or a noticeable dip where you sleep.
Typical mattress lifespan
- Foam mattresses — around 6 to 8 years before noticeable softening.
- Pocket sprung mattresses — around 7 to 10 years with regular rotation.
- Hybrid mattresses — around 8 to 10 years, depending on spring count and foam quality.
Signs it's time to replace your mattress
- Visible sagging or a permanent dip where you sleep.
- Waking with back, hip, or shoulder discomfort that eases soon after getting up.
- Springs or lumps that can be felt through the surface.
- Noticeably worse sleep quality compared to a hotel or newer mattress.
How to extend mattress life
