PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you replace your mattress?
Replace your mattress about every 8 years. Many mattresses already need replacing after 6 years.
This is a general guideline, not a strict rule. Material, care, body weight and the number of sleepers all affect how long a mattress lasts. If you see dips or wake up stiff, look for a new one sooner.
- Check the mattress for dips or sagging areas
- Notice how you sleep and how you feel on waking
- Note the year of purchase so you know its age
- When replacing, compare firmness and materials in store
