Wondering if it’s time to replace your bed or mattress? You’re not alone. One of the most common questions we get at Bedzy is:
“How long do bed frames and mattresses actually last?”
The truth is, while some may stretch it out longer, most beds and mattresses in Australia are ready for an upgrade every 5 years. Why? Because by then, the wear and tear starts to affect your sleep quality — and your health.
At Bedzy, we help Aussies upgrade smart, with 4,000+ products, insured delivery, and a no-nonsense range of frames, mattresses, and bedding designed to make your next 5 years the best yet.
🛏️ How Long Does a Bed Frame Last?
Even with solid construction, your bed frame is supporting hundreds of kilos every night. Most quality frames last around 5 years, depending on use and materials:
-
Metal frames: Up to 5–7 years
-
Timber frames: 5 years with regular use
-
Gas-lift and storage beds: Around 5 years before components loosen
If your bed’s squeaky, shifting, or sagging — it’s probably already due for replacement.
🛌 How Long Does a Mattress Last?
The average mattress needs replacing every 5 years — even faster if:
-
You’re a hot sleeper (moisture breaks down materials)
-
It’s not flipped or rotated regularly
-
It was budget-made with thin foam or springs
-
You share the bed (double the wear)
Waking up sore? That’s your body saying it’s time to upgrade.
🛑 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Bed or Mattress
-
Mattress is sagging or uneven
-
Bed frame wobbles, squeaks or sinks in the middle
-
You’re waking up with back or neck pain
-
The setup is over 5 years old
-
It looks fine, but feels wrong — trust your body!
💬 Even a premium setup won’t last forever — and if you bought on a budget, 5 years is a solid run.
