Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

Generally speaking, a mattress warranty is a guarantee from the manufacturer to repair or replace a mattress with physical defects within a certain period of time. Warranties typically last between 5-20 years, but some brands offer lifetime warranties. Warranties exist to cover a manufacturer defect, not improper use, or a normal increase of wear and tear.
