• Memory foam mattresses are generally the most durable, providing the best comfort for the longest time. After about 10 years the comfort level begins to decrease, while others such as innerspring mattresses begin to show signs of wear after only three years. Latex mattresses are also very durable, though they begin to wear slightly sooner than memory foam. Adjustable air beds, water beds and futons fall in the middle of the durability range. Each type and brand of mattress has a range of durability levels.
