Hi Pete,
My mattress is a 12 year old Spring Air.
Is there a rule of thumb about how long I should keep it?
If it is time for a new one, and I think I am getting close.
What would you suggest?
I sleep on my stomach most of the time, with some time spent on my left side. I weigh about 200 lbs. I read an old post in which you suggested the Sealy Reserve line, but I believe that the line has been discontinued. I am not partial to any one manufacturer. I'm looking to spend $700-$1,000 for queen size for something that is medium - firm. What are my options? Thanks for your help.
Thanks, Jane
Hi Jane,
Advertising by some mattress chains suggest replacing your mattress at the age of 8 years. Of course, this advertising is geared to creating sales.
The time to replace your mattress comes when you are no longer sleeping well. Age has nothing to do with it.
When the time comes, your best option within your price range is:
The Eco-Terra Hybrid Latex Mattress.
The individually pocketed coils provide firm, contouring support that maintains the natural alignment of the body and spine.
The Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex upholstery provides long lasting surface comfort.
It’s free of chemicals, so there’s no off gassing.
Here’s a link to where you can view that mattress.
You can place your order through this same link.
