ELI5: Why do mattresses have expiration dates?
I keep seeing mattress companies say you should replace one every 7 to 10 years, but what actually happens at that point? It’s not food and the materials don’t suddenly go bad overnight.
Is the date mostly about the foam and springs slowly losing support, or is there a hygiene reason too? I’m trying to get one, so I’m wondering if the replacement timeline is a real safety thing or just a general sales recommendation.
