How to Choose a Mattress
Is it time to change out your mattress? Is your old one lumpy and saggy? Hopefully a few tips on how to choose a mattress will help you get a better night’s sleep. Bedding choices seem endless and overwhelming. They don’t have to be. You just need to keep a few things in mind.
Type of Mattresses: The three largest selling types of mattresses available today are coil and spring, waterbed, and memory foam.
Coil and Spring mattresses are the most common variety. This is the traditional bed. When looking for a coil and spring mattress one of the key indicators of quality is how many coils the bed has. The larger a number of coils, the firmer, and better quality the mattress. There are plenty of levels of firmness from hard as a board to a light, airy pillow top. What matters is what’s the most comfortable for you!
Waterbeds are another affordable option. Once again there are plenty of varieties from wave less to full wave. This determines how much motion the water in the bed will have. If you don’t feel like sloshing around choose a waterbed with a waveless bladder. Waterbeds require a bit more care than a coil and spring or memory foam mattress. They are also much heavier, be sure the floor can support the weight before purchasing one. Once they are in position you are unable to move them without emptying them if you want to rearrange the room. However, I have one and find it very comfortable.
Memory Foam mattresses are one of the more expensive options but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Memory foam mattresses use close cell foam that molds to your body, perfectly fitting your particular body type.
Whatever you choose for a mattress just remember it comes down to one simple concept, what is the most comfortable for you? These few tips on how to choose a mattress can help you narrow down your options but only you know what’s the most comfortable!
