This entirely depends on the mattress quality, how much time you spend on the mattress, etc. But, a good rule of thumb is that most mattresses are supposed to last for roughly 10 years (which is why many mattresses have a 10 year warranty). After that, you may see a decrease in support, shape, and overall comfort.
Once again, if you treat your mattress well, it can last longer. For instance, my parents had their for 20 years before they decided to get a new one.
