The M6 has a nucleus-like core in the middle. It's only reasonable to accept that over time (think decades) it will lose some of its height and ability to cushion. It's like an older bed, eventually there will be a dip. I think this is negligible, but I hope that makes sense. Please don't take it for more than it is.
I am not a doctor, nor a scientist, I just think it's more than plausible.
