My General Thoughts

Few things are more personal or have a more lasting impact than buying your own bed. It is a large undertaking with many considerations. If you find yourself in the market for a new bed, don’t just rush to the store and buy the first one you see!

You must actively think about your comfort and remember that you will spend about eight hours each day with your Bed Mattresses. That is a long time to be uncomfortable. Don’t buy whatever type of mattress you’ve had all your life. You may not know that your body actually prefers a different level of firmness. Go the opposite way, just to try it.

But do your research before you go shopping.  Sleep over at a friend’s house, take a look at the mattress when you go on a trip, do anything to avoid making the decision right in the store. No one wants to decide such an important thing while lying down in public with a salesperson breathing down your neck.

Keep in mind that mattresses are expensive because they should last a long time. Don’t buy one merely because it’s the cheapest you can find; you will be replacing it much sooner than you had to. You should expect to spend at least $500 on a good mattress. Anything less is suspect.

Size is the other great consideration. Do you share a bed or sleep alone? How much space do you need and how much space does your partner need? It is good to see the difference between the size ranges in person. You may be surprised by how much or how little you actually want when you’re able to see the sizes all lined up.

Make sure you know what you want; is the extra few hundred dollars really worth a few extra inches in mattress width? For some, it’s a pointless expenditure. For others, it makes all the difference in the world.
