Choosing The Right Mattress For You

With all the products out there claiming to be the best mattress

, it can be hard to figure out which one's telling the truth. Well, the truth is that there probably is no best mattress overall - it's the one that's right for you and the way you sleep that's important. After all, every person has different sleep habits, different preferences, and different aches and pains. How can someone else's mattress be the best one for you? Here's how to find the right mattress and be sure about your purchase.

First, take a look at your budget. We all want to get the best deal on a mattress that we can, and get the best product available. However, these two things can be hard to get to agree, especially if you don't have a lot to spend. Extremely cheap mattresses may be nice at first, but they wear out quickly, and provide a low quality sleeping experience. Nobody wants to spend a lot on a mattress, then be kept up all night because it's wearing out.

Decide what you need out of your mattress, and what kind of price bracket you'll end up in. Innerspring mattresses and air mattresses cost less than latex or memory foam, but if you need the special characteristics of these foam mattresses, it doesn't pay to get something else. Even when shopping for a budget mattress, try to get the best one you can afford. Look for sales and discontinued models that may allow you to stretch your money further.

Then, head to a store! That's right - don't just buy online right away, even if you'll get a better price. You need to spend a little time determining which kind of mattress is going to be right for you. Mattress stores don't mind if you come in and try the beds out. In fact, they should encourage you to lie down for a few minutes, with your bed partner if you have one. Avoid stores that encourage you to get up right away - they may be hiding something. Of course, you should go in wearing neat, clean clothes and make sure you won't get the beds dirty.

Try out the beds the same way you usually sleep. Don't let yourself get too self conscious - after all, who cares if you look silly if the result is the perfect mattress. A new bed is a really expensive investment, and you need to make sure you're getting it right! Roll around, bounce a little on the bed, and see how you feel about different kinds of mattresses. That way, you'll more easily be able to learn which one's perfect for you. Watch price tags, and keep a written list of model names and numbers.

Wait a little bit before buying your mattress, as well. You don't want to end up regretting your purchase, after all. See if there's going to be a sale on the model you want soon, and check other retailers' prices on it. If you're not planning to buy from the store, don't spend too much time trying out their merchandise, but do make sure you know what you want. It's the best way to get the perfect mattress.
