With so many choices out there, it can be difficult deciding on which mattress is best suited to your needs. Here are five important things to keep in mind while shopping for a new mattress:
1. Warranty
First and foremost, it’s a good idea to look at the number of years offered on the warranty of the mattress and whether it is by the manufacturer and/or the retailer. The manufacturer generally offers a warranty against product defects. Retailers will often offer a ‘satisfaction’ guarantee which may allow you to return the mattress if you do not find it to be comfortable. Buying a new mattress is not something you do often in a lifetime, so it’s worth paying that extra bit for a longer warranty. Read the conditions of the warranty carefully and follow them faithfully so as not to void the warranty. For example, you might want to buy a plastic-lined mattress cover to protect it from stains. Also, you may need to flip the mattress on a regular basis according to the specifications of the warranty.
2. Name Brand
Let’s face it…you get what you pay for. Avoid those offers of ‘unbelievably low prices’ on mattresses and box springs. In order to give you the deal of a lifetime, costs need to be cut somewhere. That usually affects the quality of the materials and workmanship involved. You’re better off paying for quality because that is what you will get in the end. Choose from a reputable brand that is willing to back itself up by-see Tip 1-a decent warranty.
3. Size
Size really does matter! Take into account how big or small, short or tall you are, as well as anyone snuggling up next to you, when choosing the size of your mattress. If the bed is so small that you’ve got knees and elbows in your ribcage all night, you certainly won’t be getting a refreshing night’s sleep. Choose a mattress that fits.
4. Firmness
There are a lot of choices in this area as well. Each person has their preference as to the level of firmness they find most comfortable. This often depends on an individual’s physical condition. Again, your size and height need to be taken into consideration, as well as your health, body type and the level of support you need. Generally speaking, a medium-firm mattress is best for back support.
5. Try it out
When you’re ready to go shopping, give yourself a number of hours to investigate. Try different beds, sizes, brands, and levels of firmness. Spend some time on them. Flopping down on one for a few seconds isn’t going to give you a true picture of how comfortable it will be for hours on end. If you’re going to share your bed, it might be a good idea to bring your partner along to see how the mattress responds to both of you on it. Sweet dreams!
