Review of the Ultimate Dreams mattress

[phoenix]

Hi DJJazzyJoel22,

Another quick question as this has been the mattress that has most caught my eye in my research over the past couple of days. Is anyone concerned about the longevity of this mattress as it’s brand new and hasn’t yet stood the test of time? I read Phoenix’s comment on the 2lb density of the foam, which was encouraging. Just wondering how much I would be able to count on this mattress holding up for years to come (and how many years to come?).

While the mattress itself is new … the materials that it uses aren’t and they have been used for many years in the industry so its properties and durability are well known and in terms of durability a mattress is only as good as the quality of the materials inside it regardless of the specific mattress they are used in.

There is more about the many variables (including the person and the mattress) that can affect the durability and useful life of a mattress in post #4 here and the posts it links to and while there are too many variables for anyone to know how long a mattress will maintain its comfort and support for any specific individual … it would be a very reasonable to expect that it will maintain reasonable comfort and support for the length of the warranty. The top layers of a mattress are generally the limiting factor in the useful life of a mattress because they are subject to the most wear and tear from constant compression and if you happen to be one of the exceptions either because of your body type or because you are more sensitive to the normal changes and softening in a mattress over time … it also has the additional benefit that goes with a component mattress that you can just replace a single layer if you need to (or if your needs and preferences change) without having to replace the complete mattress.
