Mattress firmness changes over time causing poor sleep

Sleep-conscious consumers discover their mattress has softened or developed sagging areas 2-5 years into ownership, degrading sleep quality and causing back pain, but have no objective way to measure degradation before buying a replacement. Current mattress technology doesn't signal when support has materially declined.
