Ratings >> Mattress Type Comparison > Based on 22,584 Mattress Owner Experiences Longevity or lifespan in our research refers to the length of a mattress's useful life – that is, how long it maintains at least some of its original comfort and support. Longevity / lifespan often has the same meaning as durability, but not always. Due to the design, construction and mechanical nature of airbeds, durability and longevity / lifespan must be evaluated separately. Durability in our research refers to how well a mattress resists deteriorating, coming apart or breaking down. Airbeds, unlike other mattress types, are mechanical to an extent, and, as a result, more can conceivably go wrong with them such as leaks and air pump breakdowns. 25%+ of owners report the need to replace at least one part of the bed over the course of ownership. Consequently, airbeds tend to have no better than fair durability. Although airbeds have fair durability at best, they often have good longevity.
This is because airbeds are modular in that they can be taken apart into their individual components. In other words, any part of most airbeds – including the air bladder, air pump and comfort layer – can often be easily fixed / replaced with a new part (usually at some cost to the airbed owner). Latex mattresses overall have good-to-fair longevity. They, like airbeds, are sometimes modular in that one or more layer of the mattress can be easily replaced. The main durability complaint by owners is that they can develop body impressions. These impressions, however, do not necessarily undermine general comfort and support, but they can impede ease of movement on the bed. Memory foam mattresses tend to have at least fair longevity. As a memory foam mattress ages and wears, it tends to become softer and lose resiliency or "memory." Sagging and or body impression development are also possible. Long-term owner experience data is limited for (memory foam / innerspring) hybrid mattresses.
What data is available as well as data for other innerspring-based mattresses suggests no better than fair durability / longevity for the hybrid category in general. Available long-term owner experience data for latex hybrid mattresses (latex over foam or springs) suggests about fair durability / longevity. Sagging, loss of support and or body impression development are possible. Innerspring beds generally have less longevity than other mattress types because of their tendency to sag and develop body impressions. Those models with thick comfort layers / pillow tops tend to have the most problems with longevity. Futon mattresses tend to have below-average longevity. Innerspring-based and foam futons may last somewhat longer than other varieties, such as cotton. Let us consider again the chart at the top of this page, but now factor in mattress price. Doing so reveals that there is a fairly clear correlation between price and longevity / lifespan. This is due mainly to the fact that – overall – higher priced mattresses are often made with more durable and or replaceable materials and design.

Browse our range of mattresses and find your perfect nights sleep. About Pocket Springs Latex or Gel Mattress The Pocket sprung Mattress consists of individual springs housed in separate fabric pockets. Unlike the Continuous Coil units, the springs are not linked to each other. They all respond individually to the shape of the sleeper''s body offering excellent support and no roll together. The spring count is very important and can vary from approximately 800 springs per 5ft mattress to over 2000 springs per 5ft mattress. the more springs the better the support and the more durable the mattress will be. As with all mattresses, the fillings and cover are very important and will make a big difference to the durability, comfort and price.
Latex is a natural product which we are finding has an increasing appeal. Like memory foam it reacts to heat allowing perfect body anatomy whilst sleeping. However it does not retain heat like memory foam giving so gives you a much cooler sleep. Gel is the great new choice for restful sleep. Gel is the softest solid on the planet today. Developed for medical use, it is now a preferred choice of mattress filling - 15 times cooler than memory foam, it absorbs heat and with its amazing durability it conforms to the sleeper's body shape night after night without losing elasticity.Win an Ashley Occasional Chair RRP £199.99 Why not add a touch of glamour to any room in your home with our new Ashley Chair.
