The best assurance of durability over the lifetime of the mattress is to purchase the highest quality sleep set you can afford. Be aware that the normal lifetime of a mattress is 8-10 years of nightly use. After that it will no longer provide the best comfort and support although some people use it for 20 years and more. Layers of upholstery provide insulation and cushioning between your body and the springs. Heavy duty felt pads and high quality comfort padding give you longer lasting, long-term comfort.
Wire gauge is also important-the lower the wire number, the more durable the wire.
Remember, you can't judge a mattress by its coils alone. Look for a combination of top quality innerspring system, superior upholstery materials and No Sag Systems.
