As H&G's resident sleep writer, I'm often asked: 'how long should a mattress last?' My short answer: somewhere between 7 and 10 years. The exact lifespan of your mattress depends on a whole host of factors, from the internal materials to the quality of your care.
I lead a team of expert testers in the search to find the world's best mattress. We score each mattress against the same criteria: comfort; support; breathability; and motion isolation; as well as a whole host of practical factors, from delivery details to the all-important price.
