Your hotel might have a James Beard Award-winning chef working in its kitchen. Guests might be able to look out on a gorgeous view that lets them see for miles. You might employ the most responsive housekeepers and the city’s most knowledgeable concierge. But none of that will matter if your guests spend the night on lackluster mattresses. Guests want a comfortable night’s sleep and a bad mattress could leave them tossing and turning all night which could make for an overall unpleasant experience at your property. This blog will explain when it is time to replace mattresses, how often to replace them, and popular ones offered at InnStyle.
Why do Properties Replace Mattresses?
You probably know from your own sleeping experience that mattresses become less comfortable as times goes by.
There’s a big difference between a mattress that’s five months old and one that’s five years old. But you might not notice that difference, as you sleep on the mattress every night. Your guests, on the other hand, will notice an uncomfortable mattress right away.
And it’s not just about comfort. Replacing mattresses is a matter of cleanliness. Unchanged bedding can become a breeding ground for germs, as well as pests such as bed bugs and dust mites, which feed on the dander that collects inside mattresses.
How Often Should Properties Replace Mattresses?
It really depends on your establishment, but the average seems to be anywhere from three to five years. Some establishments will sell their old mattresses to other hotels or give them away to an organization such as Habitat for Humanity.
Another option is to recycle your mattresses. It can give these products a new life in several different ways. For example:
- The soft commodities such as fiber and foam are compressed and transformed in things like stuffing for pillows and upholstery, insulation, carpet pads, pet beds and oil filters.
- Scrap recycling companies will welcome your old box springs and other metal components from your mattress. The recyclers will sell these parts to foundries and steel mills for use in construction materials, auto parts and tools.
- The wood from old mattresses can become flooring, wood pellets, mulch, pressed wood and compost, while the cotton becomes linen papers and oil spill containment rags.
Recycling old bedding when you replace mattresses offers innkeepers a responsible way of conserving resources and making sure guests get a good night’s sleep.

The information given was very informative., please keep a log documenting when MATTRESSES are replaced.. are when extremely sick guest used a certain room to protect your other guests. This data could be kept private but very necessary. I also feel old MATTRESSES should be destroyed and not given to organizations…to protect other from any harmful bacteria, your idea to keep the spring in a box spring if steamed cleaned might be conducive and could save money…MATTRESSES pads must be implemented between guest usages.
Suggestions only…connect with a company to breakdown old MATTRESSES and rebuild new one at a reasonable cost..
Thanks for the information
Suggestions only to have a safer America
Thank you.
I am collecting mattresses from hotels giving away for free. Please let me know if you know who can donate them to us
