subject: All About Mattresses [print this page] Choosing a new mattress for your bed is a very important job. It is important because it impacts on our daily lives without many of us actually realising it. We don't have to do it too often but when we do it is important that we choose the right one. That is why it is good to do a little research before committing ourselves.
How often should we change our mattresses?
The common answer is every 10 years. This is not necessarily correct because it all depends on the quality. If you have a foam mattress then you will need to change then a lot sooner than that. If you have a higher quality mattress, for example pocket sprung mattresses, then 10 years is a good period.
You can buy mattresses on the internet and in shops. Although you should be able to find it cheaper on the internet many people actually like going to test it out. I don't blame you but why not try it out and then order online? Then you get the best of both worlds.
People also wonder about which is the best size to get. There are two aspects of size that you need to consider. Firstly, you need to think about the size of your bed. If you have a king size bed frame then you will need a different size to someone who has a single bed.
You also then have the thickness or depth. Generally the thicker the mattress, the better the quality. Please not that is generally the case but not always. It does depend on the quality of the materials used.
If you have a standard size bed then you should have no trouble finding mattresses. If you have something that is a little different a king size bed frame then king size mattresses are a little harder to find. You will find them it is just you may not have the range of choice.
