About a Mattress

How long will the mattress last? The answer to that is a commonly used phrase. “You Get What You Pay For”

Although there is no definite answer this is because all beds and mattresses are treated differently. Toddlers can transform them into bouncy castles and guests use them as pit stops on long journeys.

A mattresses price can reflect its shelf life. A cheaper mattress will have a shorter one rather than a mattress from an expensive range with less ability to provide physical comfort and support. However if you are going the buy a mattress that you intend to use every night then you should buy the most expensive your purse can stretch to as a good quality mattress could last for up to 10 years. Saying that don't pay over the odds in those places with never ending half price sales.

Some people will leave it right up until the last moment, till when the mattress is completely unbearable to buy a new one. To buy more time some customers will buy a mattress protector to resuscitate an old mattress. Trying to save money I suppose? For example springs are popping out the top or you fell through the hole in the middle when you rolled over.

A random fact for you - Most mattresses will double in weight over ten years due to being filled with dustmites!
