Don’t spend your life in an uncomfortable bed. Choose the best one for you with these mattress shopping tips.
Whether you are moving to a new home and looking to upgrade your current mattress or just moving out of your parent’s and looking for your first apartment mattress, mattress shopping can be an intimidating and stressful process. We spend almost a third of our days in our beds, so mattress shopping should be taken seriously. Here are some tips to use as you start your new mattress shopping.
Research the Types of Mattresses That Are Available
There are more types of mattresses made from more types of materials available now than ever before, so do your research before heading to the store. There are soft, firm, foam, soil, and memory foam mattresses available in almost every mattress store (and that’s just a few of the types you’ll see!). You don’t need to spend a lot to get a good mattress. Look at different consumer reporting and testing sites to get reliable professional reviews for any mattresses you are considering for your new mattress.
It Isn’t Just About You
Okay, if you are single and living alone it is just about you, so skip this tip. However, if you sleep with a partner your new mattress should also fit their sleeping preferences. Do you have opposite tastes in mattresses? A mattress with adjustable firmness on each side of the bed might be the best choice to keep the peace when it’s time for bed. Make sure that the bed size you choose can comfortably fit both of you so that you aren’t too far away or too close together.
Take Your Time and Test
This is the fun part—mattress testing! Take 15 to 20 minutes to lie down and relax on each mattress you are considering when you visit All American Mattress. Studies have shown that consumers who spend 15-20 minutes experiencing their new mattress choices before purchasing are happier with the final choice. Spend about five minutes in each sleeping position to see how comfortable you feel (and let your partner do the same).
