Why your mattress can sink in?
Mattress support
A mattress that has a proper support will last longer. When buying a mattress is best to buy it in a set - mattress & box spring. If you have a platform bed, that also counts as a good mattress support. In that way you know that your mattress will have the support it needs for longer.
Some customers buy a brand new mattress and use the older box spring. That old box spring can cause the sagging for your brand new mattress.
Mattress materials
The quality of the mattress materials have a huge impact on the lifespan of the mattress. If the quality of the mattress is better, the sagging will not happen soon on your mattress.
