Mattress Buying Guide & Reviews

Though you may find bed-buying somewhat confusing, after all, you don't do it very often and it's not easy to see what's inside. Research shows that the level of customer satisfaction with new mattresses is very high.

The best way to ensure that you're a satisfied customer is to shop at a store you know and trust to give you good information, good service and top quality products. Look for educated salespeople who can guide you through the many choices. If you don't feel your salesperson is knowledgeable or helpful, take your business elsewhere.

When shopping, remember that a "bargain" mattress and foundation are no bargain when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. Shop for the best product, not the lowest price or the "Biggest Mattress Sale Ever". And, buy the best you can afford. Considering that you'll probably be using your bed more than any other product you own including your car, TV, computer or cell phone. The mattress you sleep on is one of the best cost-per-day values on the market today. Once your new sleep set has been delivered to your home, you'll probably be so happy with it that you'll wonder why you didn't buy a new bed sooner.

What to Look for When Buying a Mattress

COMFORT. Gone are the days when a mattress had to be hard-as-a-board to be good for you. A too-hard mattress may only succeed in putting your shoulders and hips to sleep. You'll sleep best when your bed helps you feel cradled in comfort, cozy and secure. Today's top quality mattress/foundation ensembles are built for superior comfort. Luxurious new cushioning materials and extra-soft surface treatments create a plusher, more comfortable feel.

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. A word about "firm." Don't rely on product labels to tell you which mattress will give you the right support. One manufacturer's firm may feel harder than another's extra firm. The only way to find out if the support is right is to lie down and try.

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 you bought them for. The best assurance of good performance over a good many years is to buy the highest quality sleep set you can afford. A word about the warranty. Don't look to the warranty to tell you how long to keep your mattress and foundation. It's there to protect you against product defects, not against the gradual loss of comfort and support. A sleep set may still be usable after 15 or 20 years, but it's not giving you the good night's sleep you deserve.

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 getting to sleep. If you sleep with a partner, be sure to select queen or king size. 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.

Sleep.

It refreshes us like nothing else. It can be occasionally elusive, almost always comforting, and definitely essential to our survival. And although we spend 33% of our lives asleep, we barely give it a moment's notice....until we can't sleep. Then we think about it to the point of obsession.

For millions of people, the consequences of a poor night's sleep- higher stress, increased mistakes, weight gain, difficulty concentrating- are every day occurrences. But it doesn't have to be this way.

We all have too much to do, so take time out and recharge yourself by getting a good night's sleep. The quality and quantity of your sleep can make all the difference in how productive you'll be the next day. Here are ten tips to help you get the sleep you need and deserve.

• Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule, including weekends.

• Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine such as soaking in a hot bath or hot tub and then reading a book or listening to soothing music.

• Create a sleep-conducive environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool.

• Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.

• Use your bedroom only for sleep and relaxation. It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the sleeping environment.

• Finish eating at least two to three hours before your regular bedtime.

• Exercise regularly. It is best to complete your workout at least a few hours before bedtime.

• Avoid nicotine (e.g., cigarettes, tobacco products). Used close to bedtime, it can lead to poor sleep.

• Avoid caffeine (e.g., coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate) close to bedtime. It can keep you awake.

• Avoid alcohol close to bedtime. It can lead to disrupted sleep later in the night.
