Online mattresses are my favorite and I highly recommend them to all readers of this site.
They are far cheaper than the alternatives. They come with longer trial periods so you get more for your money.
However, there are some disadvantages to purchasing a mail-order mattress. Brands like Leesa and Casper are just a few years old. Many people who purchased their mattresses online only have them for a few years.
Online mattress companies claim that their products will last for at least 10 years. However, this has not been proven in real life.
How can we ensure that these mattresses last as long as they claim?
To be certain, I don’t think many of them lie. These mattresses are likely to last at least as long as they say, and even longer than the sellers claim.
If you’re a skeptical shopper like me, then you need more than the manufacturer’s sales talk.
These are the four durability indicators that I use when reviewing a mattress. You can also use them to determine how long an online mattress will last.
1. 1.
The average lifespan of mattresses that are more expensive is longer. They are thicker and provide better support.
If you are looking for a durable mattress, then be prepared to pay more. A mattress that lasts 10 years can be purchased for as little as. You can find one that lasts for around 15-20 years, and some that can last up to 25 years.
It is important to remember that the price of a mattress does not always indicate its longevity. It is possible to pay a lot but have your mattress fall apart in just a few years. These are just a few of the other factors to consider.
2.
Warranty
The warranty indicates how long the manufacturer expects the mattress will last. A 10-year warranty means that the mattress should last 10 years. The same applies to mattresses with warranties of 15, 20, and 25 years.
Nest Bedding offers a lifetime warranty for some products. They will cover your mattress as long as it is in your possession.
It is important to understand the fine print when using warranty to predict mattress durability.
Many companies offer lengthy warranties that make it almost impossible to file a claim. You should verify that there are no complicated requirements for filing a claim.
3. Base Thickness And Overall Height
The height of the base layer is one of the first things that I inspect when I buy a mattress. It is a sign that the mattress can withstand many years of use if it has a base at least 15cm thick.
It is important to measure the entire mattress height. It is important to ensure that the mattress is not too thin (less than 23cm) as it can be worn out quickly by someone who is taller than you. It doesn’t have enough compression support to stop sagging.
Minimum 28 cm is the minimum thickness for durable mattresses. 36 cm mattresses can last for up to 20 years and are often covered by a similar long warranty.
4. Materials Used
Hybrid mattresses tend to last the longest. Hybrid mattresses are made up of innerspring and foam, which makes them more durable than other types of mattresses.
Latex mattresses are more durable than memory foam among foam mattresses.
Companies will combine latex and memory foam to make a mattress that is both soft and supportive, but also long-lasting.
Other types of latex-like foam are used in some mattresses (e.g. To extend the life of a mattress, Leesa uses Avena foam.
Avoid memory foam mattresses. Although they may seem soft and plush at first, they won’t last very long. Their terrible support can also cause damage to your back.
