:: Mattress Buying Guide ::You need to understand your sleep needs before start shopping for your mattress!
1. COMFORT. Gone are the days when a mattress had to be stiff-as-a-board to be good for you. And it's interesting to note that recent studies suggest that a medium-firm mattress is more likely to improve back pain than a firm mattress.
You'll sleep best when your bed helps you feel cradled in comfort. Today's top quality mattress / foundation ensembles are built for just that - superior comfort. Luxurious new cushioning materials and extra-soft surface treatments create more of a plush, comfortable feel. Additionally, it is normal for some body impressions to appear in the first few weeks of sleeping on such mattresses.
2. SUPPORT. Correct support is the essential ingredient for a healthy body. A good mattress and foundation will gently support your body at all points and keep your spine in the same shape as a person with good standing posture. Pay special attention to your shoulders, hips, and lower back - the heaviest parts. If there's too little support, you can develop back pain. But if the mattress is too hard for you, you can experience uncomfortable pressure.
3. DURABILITY. It's the quality of the materials used and how they're put together that determine how long a mattress and foundation will provide the comfort and support your bought them for. The best assurance of good performance over a good many years is to buy the highest quality sleep set your can afford.
4. SPACE. Cramped quarters can turn sleeping into a nightly wrestling match. A healthy sleeper moves anywhere from 40-60 times a night, including some dozen full body turns. You need freedom of motion while you sleep and to help you relax while you're falling asleep. If you sleep with a partner, be sure to select a queen or king size bed. Both are not only wider, but several inches longer than the standard "double"(full size), which offers each sleeper only as much space as a baby in a crib.
