All You Need To Know About Buying A Mattress

The process of buying a new mattress involves doing research and getting information about different types of mattresses available. Listed below are some important points to consider when purchasing a new mattress:

  • Your Needs: Start with identifying the reasons for which you need a new mattress. These could be aches and pains, lack of good sleep on your present mattress, a very old mattress, sagging mattress, etc. Based on your requirements, filter out mattresses and shortlist the ones that appeal to you. Take your time to assess mattresses and figure out if they are comfortable, and within your budget.
  • Types of Mattresses: Even though there are hundreds of mattresses in the market, they can be classified under three main categories i.e. innerspring mattresses, foam mattresses and hybrid mattresses. Innerspring mattresses are designed to support the user’s body weight with the help of springs and coils embedded within their structure. Foam mattresses have layers of foam such as polyfoam, memory foam and latex foam. They are ideal for those with back pain and provide motion isolation for light sleepers. Hybrid mattresses consist of both foam and coils for those seeking bounce and pressure-relief.
  • Edge-Support: If edge-support is an important consideration, look for a mattress with dedicated edge-support. Most innerspring mattresses provide edge-support as their perimeter consists of stiff coils. If you are interested in foam or hybrid mattresses, the edge-support provided will depend on the foam density of the mattresses.
  • Mattress Composition: All mattresses look alike at first glance but actually differ when tested and used. Once you have narrowed down mattresses of your choice, delve deeper into checking out intricacies such as the stitching, sturdiness, foam density, warranty, durability of coils, susceptibility to forming body impressions and more. Ask the store attendant about the return policy, maintenance and care, discounts and offers, etc.
  • Mattress Size: If there is no space and budget constraint, go big when buying a mattress. The right size of a mattress depends on the number of people using a bed, size of the bed frame, size of the room, etc. Keep in mind that the size of your mattress will also impact the size of mattress encasement, duvet cover, pillows and more. Common mattress dimensions are queen size (60 by 80 inches), king (76 by 80inches), California king (72 by 84 inches) and twin (38 by 75 inches).
