Frequently Asked Questions
There are a lot of factors that go into whether or not a mattress needs to be replaced and what will affect the lifespan of your bed. Things to consider when determining if it’s time for a new bed are things like your size, weight, the quality of the mattress material, and — like everything else — how well you take care of it.

- If your mattress is six to eight (or more) years old.
- It is impacting your quality of sleep.
- The mattress is sagging or is damaged.
- If the springs make noise.
- You sleep better in other beds, like at a hotel or a friend’s house.
