How to Shop for a Mattress

We get it, mattress shopping can seem like a chore. Help cross shopping for a mattress off your to do list with these tips!

  • The best advice I can give is to TRY the mattress out before you buy it. Mattresses are like food, tastes are very subjective. What one person calls soft another person might find it more medium feeling. What feels good to one person, might feel very different to you. Even though something has thousands of five star reviews, it does not mean it will be comfortable to you or provide you with restful sleep.
  • What is the best way to try a mattress?
    The best way to try a mattress is to take the SLEEP Test”:

    Select a mattress
    Lie down in your sleep position
    Evaluate the level of comfort and support
    Educate yourself about each selection
    Partners should try each mattress together

    Don’t be embarrassed. You don’t think twice about test driving a car, and you shouldn’t think twice about “SLEEP Testing” a mattress. Lie down on the mattress for several minutes and assess how well it provides support and how comfortable it is for you. The only way to tell if a mattress is right for you is to lie down on it!
  • Assess Your Needs: Consider your sleeping habits, any specific health concerns (like back pain or allergies), and your preferred mattress type (e.g., foam, innerspring, hybrid).
  • Set Your Budget: Mattress prices vary depending on quality. Determine how much you’re able to spend before you start shopping to narrow down your options.
  • Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask us about the materials used, mattress construction, and warranty details. Most of our staff have been here for over 20 years so we know a thing or two.
