I would be disappointed as well!

I got it a year ago, still feels like new. However, I got the very thin Japanese futon model, and my partner and I are both under 145lb/65kg so that probably goes a long way. I could definitely see a heavier load compressing the coils permanently.

I did see this on their FAQ page:

"Up to what individual body weight is ideal for an airweave? We have tested our mattresses for individuals up to 220lbs. At this weight or lower, you should expect to use your mattress for 10-15 years. For any individuals above 220lbs you may see body indents and wear sooner"

I also see that the warranty is good for only 3 years for the futon model, which leads me to believe I'll be shopping for a new one in 2 years. That's... Not a long time for the fairly steep price of $2600.

When this wears out, I'll probably go back to a thin cotton futon, that's my second favorite. I only got the Airweave because my last cotton futon got moldy because it's so humid here it never gets to dry out.
