You should usually change your mattress every six to eight years. But you may also want to consider the impact your mattress is having on your sleep. If it’s sagging in the middle, making lots of noise or causing muscle ache or stiffness, this may be a sign to replace it with a new one.

A mattress usually lasts approximately eight years, though this can vary depending on the mattress’ original quality and its materials. There can also be a significant difference between foam and spring mattress types. Generally, latex beds and high-density memory foam mattresses last longer than hybrid, low-density foam and innerspring mattresses.

There are several types of mattresses available to suit your needs, including:

Pocket spring – Individual pocket spring zones offer durable support throughout the night.

Memory Foam – Weightless memory foam contours to your body for a personalised fit.

Hybrid – With various combinations to choose from, hybrid beds can include springs, foam, latex and gel fillings depending on your preference.

Roll-up – Compact and easy to transport upstairs, roll-up beds can be a more convenient option for smaller spaces.
