How long your SWISSFEEL mattress will last
A mattress is a long-term investment in your sleeping comfort and health. But how long should a mattress actually last? At SWISSFEEL, we place great importance on durability and quality. On this page, you will find everything you need to know about the lifespan of a mattress and how you can extend its durability to enjoy optimal sleeping comfort for many years to come.
How long is the life span of a mattress?
Depending on the material and usage, the average lifespan of a mattress is around 7 to 15 years. Durability depends on various factors, such as the quality of the mattress, care, individual sleeping habits, body weight, and slatted frame. SWISSFEEL mattresses are designed to be particularly durable and resistant thanks to high-quality materials and state-of-the-art technology.
Factors that influence the lifespan of a mattress
- Material quality: Mattresses made from high-quality materials, such as those used by SWISSFEEL, generally last longer and still offer the desired comfort even after many years.
- Care: Regular care, such as turning and airing the mattress, contributes significantly to extending its lifespan. Our mattresses are easy to care for and feature removable covers that are easy to clean and a fully washable mattress core for lasting hygiene.
- Use: How intensively a mattress is used affects its durability. Take a look at your sleeping position and body weight to ensure that your mattress is optimally suited to your needs.
Influence of room temperature and humidity: Extreme climatic conditions, especially high humidity, can affect the materials of a mattress. A well-ventilated sleeping environment contributes to the longevity of your mattress.
Avoid localized overloading: Mattresses should be loaded evenly to avoid pressure points. Sitting on the same edge for too long, for example, can lead to premature wear.
Use special mattress protectors: A high-quality protective cover can protect against dust, mites, and moisture, thereby significantly extending the life of the mattress.
The advantages of a durable mattress
- Cost savings: A mattress that lasts a long time saves money in the long run because it needs to be replaced less often.
- Health: A mattress that retains its shape and support function for many years promotes healthy sleep and is easy on the back.
- Sustainability: With a durable mattress, you reduce the need for frequent new purchases and thus contribute to the conservation of resources.
Tips
for extending the life of your mattress
- Regular turning: Turn your mattress every few months to prevent wear in one area and distribute the load evenly.
- Use a protective cover: A mattress cover (e.g. Molton) provides additional protection for your mattress against dirt and moisture, thereby contributing to its longevity.
- Cleaning: Keep your mattress clean by regularly washing or having the cover and core washed and by airing the mattress thoroughly. This also prevents the accumulation of allergens.
- High-quality bed bases: Make sure that the bed base on which a mattress should lie in the bed, such as a flexible slatted frame, is in good condition, as this has a significant impact on the comfort and lifespan of your mattress.
Regularly check for wear and tear: Inspect your mattress for visible dents or reduced support. Early signs of wear and tear may indicate that realignment or cleaning is necessary.
Avoid moisture: If you live in a humid climate, using a dehumidifier can help regulate moisture and increase the life of your mattress.
Keep pets off the mattress: If possible, avoid letting pets sleep on the mattress, as hair, dander, and claws can cause the material to wear out more quickly.
Why are SWISSFEEL mattresses particularly durable?
Our mattresses are manufactured using state-of-the-art materials and innovative technologies. The combination of high breathability, robust materials, full washability, and careful workmanship ensures that SWISSFEEL mattresses retain their support and comfort properties for many years.
Sustainability and resource conservation at SWISSFEEL
A long service life is not only advantageous from an economic point of view, but also in terms of conserving resources. SWISSFEEL mattresses actively contribute to sustainability because they can be used longer than conventional mattresses thanks to their washability and high material quality. This reduces the need for frequent new purchases, which is good for both the environment and your finances.
Our mattresses are made from a small number of high-quality materials, such as Swiss mineral foam, which is fully recyclable. At the end of their service life, SWISSFEEL takes back the mattresses and ensures that the materials are reused sustainably, either as filling material or in the construction industry. In this way, you are making an important contribution to waste reduction and the circular economy.
Circular economy as a forward-looking concept: With the innovative SWISSFEEL-2-CYCLE concept, SWISSFEEL focuses on innovative circular processes to use mattress materials for longer and later recycle them and integrate them into new products. This not only reduces waste but also saves valuable resources.
Responsibility towards the environment: By consciously choosing recyclable materials and sustainable production, product, and service processes, we are committed to an environmentally friendly future and invite our customers to be part of this movement.
Frequently asked questions about the lifespan of a mattress
How long does a SWISSFEEL mattress last?
Our mattresses are designed to provide optimal comfort for 15 to 20 years. However, the exact lifespan also depends on care and use.
How can I tell when a mattress needs to be replaced?
If you notice that your mattress is worn out or you frequently wake up with back or neck pain in the morning, this could be a sign that it needs to be replaced. Please note that your body can change over time and over the years, and with it your individual requirements for a mattress. If you no longer feel comfortable on your mattress, but it is still in good condition, this may be because your body now has different needs that cannot be fully met by your existing mattress.
How do I properly care for my SWISSFEEL mattress?
We recommend regularly turning the mattress and cleaning the removable cover. Air the mattress regularly to remove moisture and keep it fresh.
