Hello World! If you sleep eight hours each night, you are spending one-third of your life in bed. Shouldn’t you buy the most comfortable, supportive mattress you can afford? Sleeping soundly leaves you feeling refreshed and ready for each new day. Without the right mattress, you can wake up tired and achy. Not every mattress is right for every person, though. Follow these five tips before you go shopping so you can find the best sleeping surface for you.
Before you go to the store, do some research to learn about the various options in mattresses. Educate yourself about coils, firmness, pillow-tops, and mattress depth. You’ll also want to investigate brands, reviews, and prices.
2. Consider Your Body
If you have any health issues, certain types of beds will be more comfortable for your body. For example:
If you have degenerative disc disease, a firmer mattress may be your best choice.
If you suffer from osteoarthritis, you can relieve joint pressure if you choose an adjustable bed or reclining chair to sleep on.
If you are troubled by bursitis, softer mattresses can help you sleep pain-free.
3. Select the Right Store
Investigate the stores that sell mattresses in your area. There are many options, such as:
Sleep specialty stores
Furniture stores
Department stores
Online shops
4. Talk to the Sales Associate
Buying a mattress is a big decision and you want to find a sales associate who knows plenty about bedding options so he or she can educate you. Find a person who you feel comfortable talking with and who will spend time with you. Ask your salesclerk some questions, such as:
Are there any warranties?
Do you have any money-back guarantees?
What is your most popular brand, model, and why?
Does your store offer delivery and set-up?
If so, what are the costs for this service?
5. Spend 15 Minutes Lying Down
You may feel awkward doing it, but it is an absolute must to spend fifteen minutes lying down on your potential mattress. There’s no comparison for testing out the product. Here are some steps for your test-drive:
Wear comfortable clothes.
Take off your shoes.
If you sleep with a partner, bring him or her to the showroom to try out the bed with you.
Breathe deeply, relax, and try different sleep positions to see what the mattress feels like on your back, side, and stomach.
Once you’ve completed these five steps, you will have learned plenty. If your potential mattress is a “yes” after all your questions, research, and trial lie-down have been completed, there’s an excellent chance that you have found the perfect bed for you.
Happy shopping and happy sleeping! Have a great evening and remember to be kind to one another!
