There are several steps to conducting a mattress comparison. One is to read online and in magazines about various mattresses. Another step is to visit stores that sell different mattresses to compare their touch and feel. Another step is to lie down on mattresses for several minutes — half an hour or more if you can — to see how they feel for a more extended test. Your mattress comparison should result in a satisfactory purchase.
Types
Mattress Cover
Mattresses are expensive, hard to clean, and dust and germ magnets. A mattress cover will protect your mattress investment, reduce the amount of cleaning and spotting of the mattress you’ll need to do, and keep allergen invaders away.
Mattress Basics
What is the right mattress for you? Soft or firm? Big or small? Those are only two of the questions you face when buying a mattress. Does an innerspring mattress interest you, or would you like to try one of the foam — memory or latex — mattresses? Air and water mattresses are vastly improved from the ones used years ago. Futons are ageless, having been used all around the world for centuries. Are you seeking natural materials in your mattress, or does that not matter? Conducting research online before hitting the stores will at least educate you to the possibilities, and the pricing. Once you have an idea of what you want, it’s time to try them out at the stores.
Mattress
When it comes to choosing a mattress that fits your personal needs, one has many options to select from, with many different factors to consider. With many different varieties, sizes and options for individual comfort preferences, you can find a mattress that suits your individual needs.
Compare Mattresses
Buying a new mattress is challenging. It feels a bit weird to lie on all of the mattresses you are interested in, but that’s the only way to really compare mattresses. Understanding how a mattress is constructed, what materials are used, and what warranty is given with each mattress is one way of comparing mattresses, but lying on them — really taking your time — is the best way to determine if you like the feel of a mattress.
Compare Air Mattresses
Thinking of buying an air mattress? Don’t just go out and buy one, shop around and compare air mattresses to get all the features you need to give you the kind of bed you need. Is the air mattress for your nightly sleep, your RV or camping, or in the make-shift guestroom? You want any one sleeping on your air bed to sleep well. But you also may be looking for ease of storage or inflation, or the flexibility of firmness for each sleeper. Check for various consumer reports to get an unbiased analysis of the pros and cons of the various air mattresses on the market, and ask friends and family. Then test them out for yourself — that’s the best way to compare air mattresses.
Bed Mattresses
Bed mattresses improve as technology and research develop better ways to make them. It gets easier to find the mattress that works for you while at the same time getting harder because of the number of options available to you. Choose from innerspring, latex, memory foam, air and water bed mattresses for starters, and then find the combinations that create the perfect solution for you.
