Health experts warn of risks from deteriorated mattresses

Health and sleep experts warn that using a deteriorated mattress can negatively impact sleep quality and cause physical discomfort. While mattresses do not have an exact expiration date like food, their lifespan is influenced by material quality, usage, weight, maintenance, and environmental conditions.

General guidelines suggest a typical mattress lifespan of approximately 7 to 10 years. Key indicators that a mattress needs replacement include visible sagging or permanent deformations, the sensation of internal springs or structures, and a loss of firmness along the edges.
