NewsFive sleep stories worth a beat of attention this Memorial Day weekend: USA Today's 7-year mattress framing, Serta's Sheep Detectives launch, a Tempur-Pedic Cloud bundle, a phase III yoga trial for cancer-survivor insomnia, and The Guardian's five-month wool mattress review.
Mattress GuidesTempur-Pedic mattresses typically last 8 to 12 years, with many owners reporting comfortable sleep up to 15 years. Real-world lifespan depends on the model, body weight, foundation quality, and how well you care for it. Here's what to expect - and the warning signs that it's time to replace.

Here is the law-tag verification, the "core-spun glass fiber" wrinkle explained, and how the brand compares to fiberglass-free and fiberglass-using competitors.
Mattress GuidesMemory foam, latex, and pocketed-coil hybrids flex safely on adjustable bases - continuous-coil innerspring mattresses do not. Here is what works, the 12-inch thickness ceiling, retainer-bar basics, and what Tempur-Pedic, Sealy, Saatva, and Casper warranties actually cover.
Mattress GuidesStandard Tempur-Pedic foam sleeps hot - but the TEMPUR-Breeze line (ProBreeze, LuxeBreeze, ActiveBreeze) uses phase-change cooling, ventilated foam, and gel infusion to drop surface temperature 5-10 °F. Here is who should pick Breeze, how it compares to hybrids, and what to do if you already own a warm Tempur.
