First of all, we would still be using the mattresses if I had not purchased a queen-sized mattress and box spring to replace them. Secondly, despite recent commercials that claim that a mattress has to be replaced after 8 years, I am not ashamed to say that the mattress that I sleep on is probably 25 years old.
But the answer to your question is that I do not know. We bought the bunk bed used and we’ve had it for fourteen years. The This End Up company became a chain in 1988 so the upper limit is 30+ years. But kids can sleep in a sleeping bag on a carpeted floor and get a good night sleep … and in some places they sleep on a thin mat on a dirt floor.
How is that for a “sales” pitch?
