We hear this one every week from people walking into our showroom. They're not sure if their mattress is "bad enough" to replace. The age on the tag is only part of it. How your body feels in the morning tells you more.
Typical lifespan
There's no exact number, and nobody can promise one. As rough general guidance, many people get somewhere around 7 to 10 years from a mattress. Kids' and guest-room beds that get light use can go longer. A bed shared by two adults every night, or one without good support underneath, may wear out sooner.
Signs it's time for a new mattress
- You wake up stiff or sore and feel better after sleeping somewhere else.
- There's a visible dip or sag where you sleep.
- You can feel springs or lumps.
- It squeaks or creaks every time you move.
- You roll toward the middle or toward your partner.
- Your needs changed: a new partner, a growing kid, or a move to a bigger size.
What helps a mattress last longer
- Good support underneath. A worn-out base can make a good mattress feel bad. Read do I need a box spring? to check yours. We sell box springs and bed frames.
- A mattress protector to keep spills and sweat out.
- Rotating it head to foot every few months, if the mattress is made for it.
- Not jumping on it. Tell the kids.
If you want to raise your head or feet, an adjustable base is another option. Ours run $400 to $1,400. See is an adjustable base worth it?

Questions people ask us
How long does a mattress last?
As a general guide, many mattresses last around 7 to 10 years. Use, body weight, and the support underneath can make that shorter or longer.
How do I know my mattress is worn out?
Waking up sore, a visible sag, feeling springs or lumps, squeaking, and rolling toward the middle are all common signs it is time to replace it.
Does my box spring affect how long my mattress lasts?
It can. A worn or broken base can make a mattress sag and wear faster. We sell box springs and bed frames if yours needs replacing.
How much does a new mattress set cost at your store?
Twin sets are $100, full sets $140, queen sets $150, and king sets $275.
Can you take my old mattress when you deliver the new one?
Ask about haul-away when you schedule delivery and we will plan for it on the same trip.
Do your mattresses come with a sleep trial?
Select mattresses come with a sleep trial, so ask which ones when you visit. We do not offer comfort returns, and Brian handles warranty questions himself at the store.
