How long does a mattress last? Memory foam, latex and hybrid types explained

Mattress testing_support cores.

How long your mattress lasts largely depends on what it's made from. Most of the best mattresses we've tested this year come in the form of foam, latex, hybrid or innerspring designs. Depending on the materials and composition, these vary in durability, with some holding up longer than others. The good news? A few smart care habits can go a long way towards extending your bed's lifespan.

On average, most mattresses last around eight years but that number can change based on the build quality, materials and how well you look after it. A warranty of 10 years or more (like those offered by brands like Saatva, Tempur-Pedic and Purple) is usually a solid sign of lasting craftsmanship.
