The service life of a mattress is generally between 7 and 10 years, but the specific time may be affected by various factors such as mattress material, frequency of use, and personal circumstances. ‌
 

The service life of mattresses made of different materials
 

Latex mattress: The lifespan of natural latex is generally over 10 years, but it is important to note that it should not be exposed to prolonged sunlight or used in conjunction with water or electric blankets, as this can accelerate aging. The service life of synthetic latex is only 4 to 6 years, while the service life of synthetic latex is only 2 to 3 years.
 

Spring mattress: Whole mesh springs and independent springs are two main types, with whole mesh springs having relatively weaker durability and independent springs having stronger durability. The lifespan of a spring mattress is generally around 10 years.
 

Memory foam mattress: It can be used for 8-10 years or more.

Factors affecting the service life of mattresses
 

Frequency of use: Mattresses are used every day and wear out faster than those used occasionally. For mattresses used daily, it is recommended to replace them every 5-7 years; For occasionally used mattresses, such as those in guest rooms, they can be extended for more than 10 years.
 

Personal situation: Personal weight, activity intensity, and lying posture can all affect the lifespan of a mattress. In addition, an individual's health condition can also affect the replacement cycle of mattresses. For people with diseases such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar spondylosis, the comfort and support of mattresses are particularly important.
 

Maintenance situation: Regularly flipping and cleaning the mattress to avoid damage can prolong its service life.
 

Overall, the lifespan of a mattress is not fixed, but is influenced by various factors. To ensure the comfort and hygiene of the mattress, it is recommended to regularly check the condition of the mattress and replace it promptly if necessary.
