Still sleeping on an old, sagging mattress because you absolutely dread the idea of shopping for a new mattress? Fear no more! This piece will give some mattress buying tips that will ease your worries and equip you with the knowledge you need to buy the most important piece of furniture in your home.
Comparison Shopping
First, when shopping for a new mattress it is important to shop by value, not by price. A good quality mattress will have thicker coils, more padding and inevitably a higher price tag. However, mattress retailers often have sales and promotions that offer quality name brand mattresses for as much 50% off. Therefore, it is important to comparison shop to make sure you're getting the biggest bang for your buck.
Crib Rail
Another way to save money on purchasing a new mattress is to buy online. Usually, online mattress retailers sell the same or similar mattresses for less than you'll find in a brick and mortar store because online retailers don't have to pay for store space and sales staff. The money they save in overhead expenses is thereby passed on to the consumer. In addition, some online retailers offer free shipping in the United States and no sales tax to all states except for the one the company is registered in. You'll save hundreds of dollars from free delivery and no sales tax alone!
Features to Look for in a Good Mattress
When shopping for a new mattress there are several features that a good quality mattress will have. The features you'll want to pay close attention to are: comfort layers, support, and durability.
First, mattress padding on the top and in the middle of a mattress are a sign of good, quality components. Years ago it was thought that the harder the mattress the better, but studies show that you'll sleep better when your mattress has some degree of concavity and cradles your body. Mattress padding creates soft comfort layers from luxurious materials that cradle your body and offer a better feel.
Next, you'll want to take notice of the coil count and wire gauge of the mattress set. The more coils a mattress has - the better the quality of mattress it will be. However, the highest number of coils doesn't mean that the mattress is the best one for you. The gauge of coil indicates how soft or firm a mattress is, the lower the gauge of the coil, the stiffer or firmer the mattress is. The coil unit of the mattress provides back support, so you'll want to purchase a mattress that allows your spine to align in its natural curve. You'll want to pay attention to your shoulders, hips, and lower back. Too much support in these areas can create uncomfortable pressure.
Finally, the quality of the materials used and the workmanship of the mattress and foundation directly affect the durability of the product. If you want your new mattress set to last as long possible then follow these tips:
- Buy the highest quality mattress set that you can afford.
- Use the matching boxspring/foundation. Manufacturers make both the mattress and the boxspring to work together. Putting a new mattress on an old, worn out boxspring will compromise the performance of the mattress significantly.
- Use the appropriate frame required for your mattress size. Please note that queen size models require a frame with a center support rail and leg that extends to the floor. King size models require a center support rail with two legs that extend to the floor.
- Most mattresses are backed by a manufacturer's warranty. A good quality mattress will have at least a ten year warranty. However, the length of your warranty should not determine how long you keep your mattress. Your warranty protects you from poor workmanship and defects, not gradual loss of comfort or support. Your warranty may be good for ten years, however, it is possible that you may have to replace your mattress after just seven years.
Mattress shopping does not have to be a frightening experience. Please feel free to use these tips to find out what type of mattress is the best fit for you. Remember, shop for the best value and then buy the best mattress that you can afford. If you shop online, you may save some headache and plenty of money while you're at it.... good luck!
