As for hospitality institutions replacing mattresses every three years, why would they want to spend that kind of money; write off or no, when a two sided mattress can provide comfort and use 2 to 3 times longer, it doesn't make sense to add that unnecessary expense. Also, major companies like Englander, Therapedic, Serta and others continue to make two-sided mattresses for their hotel/motel lines.

Many hospitality institutions skimp on the quality of their beds. This means that they aren't buying mattresses to last. In many cases they can write off the bed in three years and then replace it. A hotel or motel with above 70% occupancy is in heaven therefore they can normally provide comfort a low cost by just replacing mattresses often. In this years economy that cycle may be broken because in general occpancy is down and the money to replace the beds just isn't there. One sided beds are here to stay because of the federal fire laws one thing you can do however is rotate the mattress 180 degrees every three months to give it more life. Most of your weight is between your hips and that would be on a different spot by rotating. There were many two sided mattresses that didn’t last more than three years.
