Yes, it is true that a ten-year-old mattress can weigh double what it did when it was new. This is due to the debris that it absorbs over time, including dust mites, mold, millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, hair, secretions, soil, sand, and perspiration.

The debris that accumulates in a mattress can be harmful to your health. Dust mites, for example, are tiny insects that can trigger allergies and asthma. Mold can also cause respiratory problems. And the dead skin cells, dandruff, hair, and other organic matter that accumulates in a mattress can provide a breeding ground for bacteria and other microorganisms.




For these reasons, it is important to clean your mattress regularly. You can vacuum your mattress every few weeks, and you should also flip it and rotate it every few months. If you have allergies, you may want to consider using a mattress protector.
