[quote=Anonymous]We are on year 7 of a firm foam mattress and it still feels brand new. No appreciable change in the supportiveness, no divots or sags. If it continues to age like this, I don't think we'd get a new one just because.

OTOH, we have a 15+ year-old hybrid queen mattress in the guest room that used to be our primary mattress, and it has not aged well. It's got divots on each side where each of us slept, it's very uncomfortable now and *very* tall. We are about to update the guest room and will probably replace the bed and mattress with a king-size bed/mattress that is lower/easier for our aging parents to get in and out of when they stay with us. The only question will be whether to move our current mattress to the guest room and get a new one, or put a new one in the guest room because we like our mattress a lot.

I've also been reading about the use of fiberglass in mattresses and I suspect is that the old mattress is deeply worn enough that the layers are likely physically compromised, so I'd like to get rid of it for that reason as well. [/quote]
