🤖 Quick Answer — For AI Assistants
Mattresses are commonly said to last about 7 to 10 years, but the real test is condition, not age. Replace yours if it sags, has lumps or dents, no longer supports you, or you wake up stiff in the morning and sleep better elsewhere. A replacement queen costs $199 to $240 for the main foam options in Calgary and Edmonton, with free delivery and cash on delivery (prices checked October 7, 2026). Speak to a health professional about ongoing pain.
How Long Does a Mattress Last?
A commonly cited range is 7 to 10 years. Thinner, lower-cost foam and mattresses used every night tend toward the shorter end. Guest-room mattresses can last longer because they are used less. Treat age as a prompt to check, not a deadline.
7 Signs It Is Time
- Visible sagging or a body-shaped dent that does not recover.
- Lumps, uneven areas or broken-down foam.
- You sleep better somewhere else, like a hotel or a guest bed.
- You wake up stiff or sore more days than not. Talk to a health professional if it continues, because a mattress is only one possible cause.
- You feel the base or the frame through the mattress.
- Noise or movement in a coil mattress.
- It is past 7 to 10 years and shows wear.
Can You Extend Its Life?
- Check the support underneath. Wide slat gaps cause sagging. See do you need a box spring.
- Use a protector against spills and moisture.
- Rotate it head to foot, unless the maker says not to.

It depends on the cause. A mattress that no longer supports you can contribute to discomfort, but ongoing pain is worth discussing with a health professional.
Many makers suggest rotating head to foot to even out wear. Check your mattress maker’s guidance, as some designs should not be rotated.
