🛏️ How Often Should You Replace Your Mattress or Bed Base?

A good night's sleep starts with the right foundation—and that means keeping your mattress and bed base in top condition. But how often should you really replace them? If you've been waking up sore, restless, or just not feeling refreshed, it could be your bed telling you it's time for an upgrade. Let’s break down when to replace your mattress and bed frame, and how to know it’s time. 🛌 When Should You Replace Your Mattress? On average, you should replace your mattress every 7 to 10 years—but this depends on the type, quality, and how it's used. 🕒 Lifespan by Mattress Type: Memory Foam Mattresses – 7–9 years Pocket Sprung Mattresses – 8–10 years Hybrid Mattresses – 7–10 years Natural Latex Mattresses – 10–12 years Looking for a new one?

While your bed base often lasts longer than your mattress, it still plays a key role in comfort and support. A damaged or outdated base can shorten your mattress’s life and affect your sleep.
