How to Choose the Best Mattress for You

Buying a mattress is an important decision, for many reasons. When you make your choice, you might live with your decision for up to 15 years.

Getting a good night’s sleep on the proper mattress is the first step toward maintaining your overall health and helping to maintain optimal mental function. The right mattress with the right support can reduce pressure on your body and lessen pain from arthritis and other ailments.

Keep in mind that the best mattress for you may not be suitable for someone else, since we all have our individual needs. Here are some things to consider when you shop for a new mattress.

1.     Shop at the right store

When you look for a new mattress, shop at a mattress or furniture store that offers a wide selection of mattress types and sizes. It helps if the sales staff is knowledgeable about the differences between brands and products. You can find a wide selection of name brand, high quality mattresses at Home Living Furniture, a leading furniture store in Howell, New Jersey.

2.     Determine how much you want to spend

You can find mattresses in a wide range of prices, from a few hundred dollars to several thousand. Before you shop for a mattress, determine your budget so you can limit the number of mattresses you will consider. Stores that offer discount prices, sales and promotions can help with your budget.

3.     Figure out what size you need

Mattresses come in a range of sizes, from narrow twin to roomy queen and king sizes. Of course, you must make sure the mattress size will fit in the room. People with a larger frame might consider a California king size of 71” x 83” to accommodate their size. If you already have a headboard and bed frame, the decision is easy. Choose the size that fits the bed.

4.     Know about different mattress types

Today there are many different mattress types on the market. When you visit a furniture store to look at mattresses, you are likely to see traditional innerspring, memory foam, latex and air mattresses. You can also choose a hybrid mattress with innerspring coils below and foam on top.

5.     Decide on the firmness

How firm you want your mattress is a matter of personal preference. Generally speaking, if you sleep on your side, you can choose a medium or medium soft mattress that will help to relieve pressure on your hips and shoulders. If you sleep on your back, you may find that a medium or medium firm mattress will provide the proper spine alignment. A medium or medium firm mattress is recommended for stomach sleepers.
