5 Things to Consider When Choosing a Mattress

Your Mattress is Your Most Used Furniture. Choose Wisely

Out of every piece of furniture in your home, your mattress is used the most. When you are choosing a new mattress, there are several things to consider that should be important to you. Each and every night, you will be resting (and hopefully sleeping well!) on your new mattress. So let’s break down some questions you should ask yourself as you research your choice, so sweet dreams are in your future.

5 Things You Should Ask Yourself

You have decided to embark in the purchase of a new mattress. There are so many types and brands available, you may not know where to start. A good place to begin is to ask these questions so you can narrow down your needs and preferences. Once you have this list, you will be better informed so you can speak to one of our sales team to help you go home with the best mattress for you!

Is Keeping Cool Important to You?

There are studies that show body heat affects the quality of a good night’s sleep. But this is also a personal preference. When choosing a mattress, is it important to you that your mattress has a cooling affect on your body? Your mattress will absorb your body’s heat throughout the night. There are cooling gel mattresses available and innerspring mattresses have space between the coils that allows heat to disperse. Memory foam on the other hand is a dense material and will not disperse heat as effectively.

What Position Do You Sleep Most Comfortably In?

Are you a back sleeper, or do you tend to sleep on your side or stomach? Depending on the position you prefer to sleep in, you may want to refer to mattress types being firm versus soft.

Side Sleepers: To account for the curvature of your spine, a softer mattress may work better for you.

Back Sleepers: A firm mattress is recommended to support your back and disperse your body weight.

Stomach Sleepers: Similar to back sleepers, and for similar reasons, a firm mattress tends to work better for you.

Blended Sleepers: If you find yourself in a combination of positions, medium to firm is best, to accommodate the various postures you will find yourself in while asleep.

Do You Need to Consider Lumbar Support?

Do you suffer from back problems and other health concerns? Most mattresses provide some type of lumbar support, but some are better than others. It is in your best interest to take the health of your back and spine into account when making your mattress purchase. We recommend you speak with one of our customer service team to help you find the best fit mattress that will provide you the lumbar support that you need.

What is Inside a Mattress

There are several popular types of mattress and what is inside a mattress really counts.

• Innerspring: This type of mattress is composed of coils on the inside.
• Memory foam or Gel Memory Foam: Made of polyurethane materials, this type of mattress hugs the contours of your body.
• Latex: Composed of latex foam and coupled with springs or reflex foam, this type of mattress is naturally hypoallergenic.
• Hybrid: Uses a combination of foam and springs that can be a perfect middle ground for many sleepers.
