Your mattress may be past its prime
Is your mattress the problem?
Sleep foundations put a good mattress's life at roughly 6-10 years. Slide to your mattress's age — honest answer.

Sagging you can see, waking stiff, sleeping better in a hotel than at home, or 8+ years old — any one is a signal. You spend a third of your life here; it's the last place to cut corners.
What keeps you up?
Pick what fits you — get the mattress type that actually solves it, in three budgets. Every pick is chosen for fit first.

The 2-minute mattress-fit checklist
Firmness by sleep position, the cooling question for hot sleepers, motion transfer for couples, and the trial-period traps to avoid — one page, so you buy once and buy right.
Where these numbers come from
"~26 years in bed / a third of your life" → based on the widely-used 8 hours/night sleep guideline across an average lifespan.
"Replace a mattress roughly every 6-10 years" → general guidance from sleep-health foundations and mattress-industry standards; the right number depends on the mattress and the sleeper.
"Sleep quality affects health" → sleep is broadly linked in the research to cardiovascular, metabolic, immune and cognitive health. This page does not claim a specific mattress adds years to your life — it prices the cost of a good night and helps you match a mattress to how you sleep.
Honest note: the cost-per-night figure is simple arithmetic (price ÷ nights). The sleep-and-health links are real but general — this is buying guidance and math, not medical advice.
