Does a Double-Sided Mattress Last Longer?

One of the most common questions we hear from people who are mattress shopping is, “Does a double-sided mattress lasts longer than a single-sided mattress?” They understandably want to know which type of mattress is more durable and will perform longer to give them a better return on their investment.

Our hypothesis

Originally, we thought a two-sided mattress would last longer, mainly due to the fact it could be flipped. The theory was that by routinely turning your mattress, you would get two sleep surfaces, thereby making the mattress last longer. Many mattress retailors, in fact, even went so far as to advertise, “Two side are better than one!”

Putting our theory to the test

Verlo hired an independent lab to test both our single- and double-sided mattresses for durability. Rigorous testing was performed to simulate 10 years of use, with the mattresses being precisely measured for support and height before and after the testing procedure.

Results

The single- and double-sided mattresses performed identically. There was virtually no difference in firmness and profile loss (height) between the two.

Testing proved a Verlo single-sided mattress is as durable as a two-sided one.

But how?

Verlo uses high-density foams in the construction of our mattresses. The denser the foam, the longer the mattress will perform before showing wear and losing support. A properly constructed single-sided mattress will perform just as well as a double-sided mattress.

So, the choice is yours. At Verlo, you can confidently choose either a single-sided or two-sided construction, knowing you will receive years of restful comfort and support from both.
