Mattress Questions

How often should you change a mattress?

The lifespan of most mattresses is 7-10 years. How often to change a bed depends on several issues like care and the weight of people sleeping on it. Latex and foam mattresses last longer than coils. If your mattress is sagging, it’s time to get a new one or try turning it over for a little extra life.

Do mattresses have weight limits?

The box spring or foundation of a bed often have weight limits, and they average around 300 pounds and up. A good quality mattress like the Nectar mattress has a weight limit of 650 pounds.
