- You wake up sore or stiff
- Visible sagging, lumps, or dips
- You sleep better somewhere else (hotel test = real)
- Noisy springs or shifting support
- Allergies or asthma getting worse

What Affects How Long Your Mattress Lasts?Not all mattresses age the same. Here’s what speeds things up (or slows it down):
- Material: Latex lasts longer, while lower-quality foam or innerspring wears faster
- Usage: Couples, kids, and pets = more wear
- Body weight: Heavier pressure can break down materials quicker
- Care: Rotating and protecting your mattress extends its life
Bottom line: a high-quality mattress can go longer—but none last forever (Sleep Foundation)
