The mattress industry recommends that you replace your mattress after 8-10 years of continuous use. However, this is just a guideline as the quality of your set and the weight of the person(s) sleeping on the mattress will affect its longevity. Also, comfort preferences change over time so you may sleep better on a harder or softer mattress after a few years.

Yes! A good box spring is as important as a good mattress! It acts much like a large shock absorber, taking a lot of the nightly wear and tear, and it contributes to your comfort and support. Don't put a new mattress on an inappropriate box spring. When you select the mattress, purchase its companion box spring. The two are designed to work best together. See similar questions...

While layers of quality upholstery padding provide comfort, it is the coil springs that provide most of the support. There should be over 300 coils in a full size mattress. Coil count alone does not ensure quality support, however-the gauge of the wire is also important. The lower the gauge number, the thicker and more durable the coil (13 gauge is thicker than 15 gauge). The word "firm" can also be misleading. See similar questions...

Yes, you can. However, we recommend you replace the set if you are replacing one piece. The mattress and boxspring work together as a single unit. The boxpring acts as the shock absorber for the mattress. You would not buy a new car and put old tires on it, so why would you put a new mattress on an old boxspring?

Is your set now sagging in the middle or too soft on the edge? Do you feel any soft spots? If you do, it's probably because the box spring is not doing a proper job. The box spring does most of the work and is the one of the most important parts of the set. It supports you and the mattress. The mattress conforms to the box spring and is the comfort layer in a total support system. See similar questions...

Our loft beds are designed for mattresses no thicker than 9 1/2" thick; no box spring or other platform is necessary unless your mattress is unusually thin. If your mattress is thicker than 9 1/2", but LESS than 15 1/2”, an extra set of guardrails is necessary and is available for order. With the maximum mattress thickness, the guardrails will extend 5” UP from the mattress surface, which is the minimum to comply with Consumer Product Safety Guidelines. See similar questions...

If your current box spring doesn't creak or sag and if the springs aren't "bouncy," perhaps you can consider using your old box spring and just purchasing a new mattress. See similar questions...

This is quite common in the houses that were built generations ago. The remedy is simple; Split queen box springs. You get the same foundation in 2 separate pieces. This makes it easier for you to maneuver the foundations through tight spaces and saves a lot of damage to the walls and ceilings as well! (King size and Cal-King size sets automatically come with split box springs because of their size.) See similar questions...

Yes, this type of mattress has been used this way since year one. You cause the mattress to breathe each time you move. We still recommend regular rotation of the mattress, which is primarily to extend the life of the coil springs. See similar questions...

A King size set comes standard with split box springs. Sometimes people need split box springs for a queen size, and in rare cases for a full size, in order to move it into older homes or up tight stairways. At Original Mattress Factory, we are happy to help you by manufacturing a box spring solution that will work. Split box springs offer the same support as a one-piece box spring; however, a center support is a must on your queen or full size frame when using split box springs. See similar questions...
