How Often Should You Change a Memory Foam Topper

To ensure that you’re getting the very most out of your memory foam mattress topper, you should replace it every year. If your topper is a deep design or isn’t used every night, it will last a little longer and you’ll only need to think about replacing it every couple of years.

How long will a memory foam topper last?

The average lifespan of mattress toppers, including those made entirely of memory foam, is 3 to 5 years. This is only the case with high-quality mattress toppers, whereas those made of cheap materials will only last a year or two.

Should you flip a memory foam mattress topper?

A memory foam mattress and a mattress topper should not be flipped because they typically have one sleep side. Instead they should be rotated by 180 degrees every six months.
