I know it's at best a guess, but I would like a general estimate how how long a high quality mattress would be expected to last under the following conditions.  No pets, no kids on the mattress, good hygeine, frequent rotation, use of a latex topper.  The only aggravating factor would be weight -- my wife is just slightly heavy but I a bit more than that, weighing 240 or maybe a bit less.  I would be buying a firm or luxury firm.  I assume the weight isn't so excessive that I can buy one of the major brands and expect it to last a decent while, but really don't know much about it.  Thanks.

The coils can be wonderful....but the foam on top is what can wear out pretty fast.  That's why pillowtops can be a nightmare...too much soft foam, wears out in the heavier spots, then your low back hurts.  Most of us don't ever get down to the coils.  My entire issue is with the foam part.  Hence the duvet.
