The lifespan of a king mattress varies based on materials and care but generally ranges from 7 to 10 years.
- Memory foam and hybrid mattresses often last around 8 to 10 years with proper maintenance.
- Innerspring mattresses might have a slightly shorter lifespan, closer to 7 years.
How can I keep my king mattress clean and fresh over time?
Maintaining a clean king mattress helps extend its life and comfort.
- Use a mattress protector: This guards against spills, dust, and allergens.
- Regular cleaning: Vacuum the mattress surface every few months to remove dust and debris.
- Spot cleaning: Treat stains promptly with mild detergent and water, avoiding soaking the mattress.
- Air it out: Occasionally let your mattress breathe by removing bedding and opening windows.
I put off getting a new mattress for fourteen years because they’re so expensive in stores. I finally bought one on Amazon after my mom had ordered on Walmart’s website.
I was very apprehensive because we couldn’t try it but I read hundreds of reviews.
It was super cheap. Less than $200 for a queen. This was five years ago.
It’s the best mattress I’ve ever had.
Getting it in the mail is much better than getting it delivered by the store.
