How long does a Memory foam mattress last?

Question

How long does a memory foam mattress last? I think the regular spring bed usually last 10 years before the springs are worn out.

Answer 1

One of the first companies to make this claim was the Tempur-pedic bed with the “visco elastic foam” that they claimed was a superior bed because the bed supposedly conformed to your body. I knew a lady who bought this very expensive bed and she liked it but said that she paid too much money because there were other companies making similar products for less money.

I wanted a new bed but knew that it wasn’t in my budget at the time. I bought a bed “topper.” This is supposed to be of the same material as the Temur-pedic bed but is just a piece of foam that fits over the top of your old mattress. I think mine was 6 inches thick and was very heavy. I have used mine for several years now and I must say that I am very comfortable while sleeping on it. To answer you question more clearly I will say that I haven’t noticed any degrading of the foam itself in several years. I can’t say for sure how long it will last but I don’t see any problems in the near future. All beds are made of various type of foam and they last for many years. Based on this I would say that it should last at least as long as any other mattress and they can last many years depending on how there treated. All manufactures of mattresses will tell you to periodically flip the mattress and change it end for end (place the head at the foot and the foot at the head.) This will make the mattress last longer by not having any uneven wear or saggy spots.
