  • What is the average life span on a mattress/boxspring set?

    Tricia asked: Just wondering how long they last. I’ve had this mattress/box spring set since 2000 (bought new). It’s been moved about 3 times (to different houses). I noticed just last night the boxspring is sagging (I think it broke) on my hubby’s side. Yeah,…. I think it’s time to get a new one.
