Does a mattress double in weight after 10 years of use from mites?

The short answer, No, it doesn't Double in weight, but it does gain weight.The long answer, a mattress does gain weight as the years pass. It absorbs the fluids that your body excretes (oil and sweat) as well as dead skin cells. Another weight factor, is that the mattress becomes host to microscopic dust mites, which live in the dust and feed on the skin cells. These then perform their normal biologic functions, and their excrement adds its weight to the mattress as well.With all these factors, over 10 or so years, a 90 pound mattress can gain around 20 pounds.
