Buying A Mattress Tips

Signs That You Might Need a New Mattress:

• Lumps or sagging in the surface of the mattress after it has been undisturbed for hours
• Collapsing sides, noticeable when sitting on the edge of the bed
• Discomfort and pain in one’s back and neck or fatigue upon waking

There are a number of factors that play into the decision to get a new mattress:

Sleep Style

75% of Americans sleep on their side, but still, a considerable number of people like to sleep on their backs and stomachs. Side sleepers typically want a mattress that’s on the plusher side to allow their shoulders and hips to sink sufficiently into the comfort layers close to the surface. Back sleepers might prefer a mattress that is medium firm to keep their hips properly supported and their spine in a neutral position. Stomach sleepers should opt for a mattress that is on the firmer side to prevent their hips from sinking too low, which could cause strain on the lower thoracic region. The Stearns & Foster Reserve Duet Firm Tight Top is a phenomenal choice for stomach sleepers who desire a supportive yet comfortable bed.

Co-Sleep or Sleep Alone

Twin mattresses are a good choice for children, teens and smaller adults. Full-size mattresses will accommodate this group well, too! Many people who co-sleep opt for larger sizes like queen or king, especially if they are accompanied in bed by children or pets. Elderly people or those with mobility challenges love the convenience of having an adjustable base. Mattresses like the Tempur-Pedic Pro Adapt are great for couples because they come in a split head design, enabling you to use an individual adjustable base and minimizing motion transfer. The superior motion absorption of the Nectar Premier Hybrid make it a great option for those who are easily awakened by the stirring of a companion.

Size and Shape of Bedroom

Smaller rooms might feel cramped with a larger mattress such as a king or queen. On the other hand, a large and spacious room might make a twin-size bed feel a bit lost. If the mattress will be in an area without a ton of extra headroom, like a loft or boat, you’ll want to pay attention to the thickness too, any additional inch you add to thickness will be removed from your headroom in these cases.

Budget

The old adage of you get what you pay for certainly applies here. It’s generally recommended to get the best mattress that you can afford. A quality mattress will last you much longer than its cheaper counterparts, saving you money in the long run. Inexpensive memory foam mattresses that aren’t very dense may last as little as one or two years before they begin degrading. On the opposite end of the spectrum, high-quality latex mattresses like the Posh + Lavish Restore come with a 20-year warranty.

Material Preference

What kind of material do you favor? If you prefer a springier bed, you might find an innerspring to be a better fit. These days, hybrid mattresses are becoming more and more popular because they combine the springiness of an innerspring mattress with the comforting, body-hugging effects of memory foam. Modern memory foam mattresses are infused with cooling materials like gel and copper, and are much more apt to succeed in temperature regulation then their predecessors. The Beautyrest Black KX is a remarkably comfortable hybrid mattress and uses a unique plant-based cooling technology in it’s construction.

Hot Sleepers

People who sleep hot don’t have to shy away from memory foam mattresses anymore. The Tempur-Pedic Luxe Breeze sleeps up to 10 degrees cooler with its innovative four-layer cooling system. The Serta Arctic provides 15 times better cooling power for hot sleepers.

Sleep Disorders or Complications

Sleep apnea can be helped by elevating your trunk above your pelvis, traditionally using multiple stacked pillows. Pillows can fall out of place easily during the night, so an adjustable base like the Tempur-Pedic Ergo Pro Smart makes elevating your head or feet as simple as the touch of a button.
