To flip or not to flip?

Hi kennyames,

I know there’s a ton of factors/variables that go into this next statement but given the quality of the DC brand and the materials is their warranty of 15 yrs seem realistic for a one-sided mattress?? Understand the warranty is on materials and workmanship just not looking to have to replace the mattress in 6-7 yrs.

The warranty on a mattress has little to nothing to do with its durability or the useful lifetime of a mattress or how long it may be before you need to replace it. There is more about mattress warranties in post #174 here.

The most reliable way to assess the relative quality and durability of a mattress and identify any weak links in the mattress is by knowing the type and quality of all the materials inside it (see this article) regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label. Unfortunately the specs that you listed are missing the density of the polyfoam layers which would be one of the most important factors in the durability of this mattress.

There is also more about the many variables that can affect the durability and useful life of a mattress relative to different people in post #4 here and the posts it links to.

The first place to start your mattress research is the mattress shopping tutorial here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that can help you make the best possible choices … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.
