How to Choose a Mattress
If you are in the market for a new mattress, because yours is old, dirty, sagging in the middle or worn, you probably need to buy a new one. Knowing how to buy a mattress is important, because there are many different types and styles. Just because you go to a mattress store doesn't mean that you can (or should) trust the salesman. The mattress salesman might recommend a mattress that is good for their commission or store; not always the one that is best for you. If you follow these tips, you can make sure to get a great mattress that is going to be comfortable and that you should be able to use for a long time.
When you are buying a mattress, you are going to want to go with your spouse to the store. You are going to have to use this piece of furniture for the next five to ten years, so you want to make sure that it is a purchase that you are both comfortable and happy with before you buy.
You shouldn't buy mattresses from the TV, Internet or a home shopping channel unless you already have the same mattress and are just replacing your old one. Buying a mattress in a store is a must. When you are in the store, you are going to want to choose a mattress of the right size and firmness. You and your spouse are going to have to test it out, by actually using it. Take off your shoes and hop on the mattress. Lie down on your back and think about how it feels. Is it nice and firm or is it too soft? You don't want a mattress that has too many pressure points, so turn over on your side and see how that feels too.
If you already think the mattress is uncomfortable, don't buy it. Don't buy a mattress thinking that you can just put a pad under it to make it more comfortable, because it won't work.
Some mattress and bedding stores will allow you to test out a mattress for a couple of weeks or a month, and if you don't like it, you can return it, and only pay for the delivery and pick up charges. This is a great way to see if you can get used to the mattress and if it is still comfortable after a long night in bed.
Choosing a mattress is an important decision, because it means the difference between a great night's sleep and a night of tossing and turning. Following these tips and you will be taking the right steps to a future of good sleep.
