The best mattress has an average age of around seven to 10 years (some last longer). However, how long the mattress takes place depending on various factors, which we see in detail here.
For example, how you sleep, your weight, and whether you sleep alone or share a bed, each playing a role in how long the mattress takes place. Some materials (especially natural latex) are also more durable than others.

How long is the last mattress: at a glance
Although there are many combinations of materials used on the mattress, the main type is memory foam, hybrid, latex, or innerspring. Each type will have a slightly different age. This is fast run-down from how long each type of mattress lasts an average:
Latex: 15 to 25 years
Memory foam: 8-10 years
Hybrid: 7 to 10 years
INNERSPRING: 5 to 7 years
If you still sleep well on your bed, but your mattress is more than five years old or need a little encouragement in terms of comfort or support, consider investing in one of the best mattress toppers. Get the right one and it can give you a few years of sleep which is comfortable again on your bed at this time.
Memory foam is quite durable and you can expect about eight to 10 years used from it. This is mainly because there are not many ingredients and components on this mattress, which means there are fewer to deteriorate and compromise quality.
Memory foam mattresses generally need to be rotated regularly and must be clean and aired. If you start waking up with pain and pain and finding that foam no longer supports you and offers pressure assistance, it’s time to improve.
Cradling the sinking body missing from sublime to ridiculous is also a red flag. Watch out for memory foam changes color (turning yellow) too, because this is a sign of old age mattresses.
