It doesn’t matter how long you’ve had the mattress. What matters is whether you’ve recently spent the night at the house of someone who has bed bugs or stayed at a hotel. And you’d know you have them because you’d be itchy. If you do have itchy, red sores, check your mattress for small red dots–these are where you’ve rolled over and sqooshed the bugs in your sleep.
If you’re not itching, you don’t have them. But it still might be a good idea to clean your mattress if you’ve never done so, to get rid of allergens and dirt.
Whether you have them or not, I think it is time to get a new bed. You have done that bed a good thing using it that long!
