The Lifespan of Your Mattress: What to Expect and When to Replace

General Lifespan

A quality mattress can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years—for instance, our latex Nirvana mattress is backed by a 20-year warranty, which indicates its durability—but lifestyle changes may prompt the need for a new one to ensure optimal comfort and support. You can generally expect a mattress to provide at least 7 to 9 years of quality sleep, and even longer in guest bedrooms or second homes where mattresses don’t get as much action. For your primary mattress, however, you should regularly evaluate your sleep quality and personal needs, as they may change over time, even though the mattress will remain in good condition (we can’t all age that gracefully).

Evaluating Your Needs

Life changes can impact your mattress needs. Whether you’ve gained or lost weight, experienced an injury or surgery, or gone through significant lifestyle changes with any kind of physical impact, your body may require different support than before. Factors like a new job or increased stress can also affect your sleep quality, making it essential to regularly assess your current sleeping situation—because if your mattress isn’t meeting your needs, it’s time to break up. We’re here to help you navigate these changes by recommending the best mattresses tailored to your preferences and lifestyle changes, ensuring you get the comfort and support you deserve.

Quality Matters

Our mattresses are custom-built to outlast the competition. They are crafted in our factory attached to our showroom using only the highest-quality materials available in the industry. This commitment to excellence ensures they provide exceptional support and comfort over time.

Understanding Mattress Performance

It’s normal for all mattresses to develop slight body impressions over time as they will conform to your body. Still, you shouldn’t expect to see any significant dips before your mattress nears the end of its lifespan. What to expect from your mattress depends on the type—latex mattresses offer durability and support, while traditional innerspring mattresses provide comfort through conforming coil systems and padding—so understanding your mattress type and its longevity is essential for assessing sleep quality and choosing a new mattress. Regardless of the type, all Shovlin mattresses are designed to offer exceptional support and comfort throughout their lifespans. 

When to Consider a Replacement

If you find yourself tossing and turning, experiencing tension in your neck and shoulders, dealing with a tight back, or noticing changes in the quality of your sleep, it is time to reassess your mattress. Sometimes, it’s as easy as adding a pillow top to give you a little extra cushion. At the end of the day (literally), if your current mattress isn’t meeting your needs, it might be time to explore new options.

So…What Does This Mean?

There’s no exact science to determine the lifespan of a mattress, so we recommend evaluating your sleep quality every few years to see if your mattress still suits your needs. After all, you’ll spend three of the next ten years in bed, so you want it to feel like a dream, not a nightmare. Remember, your comfort and well-being are our priority—we’re here to help you find the right mattress for your needs at any stage of your life. If you think it’s time for a replacement, stop by our showroom, give us a call, or send us a message to let our Dream Team help you find the perfect fit. Your journey to better sleep starts here!
