How To “Get In Bed” With Your Perfect Mattress!
Let’s be honest; it can be hard to part ways with your mattress. It has probably been with you for years, and those lumps and sunken-in places are unique to you.
What is even harder than saying goodbye is taking the leap and investing in a new mattress when it is time to refresh. It is beyond important to make sure that your new mattress fits YOU perfectly, and we have all of the insider information to make sure that happens!
Think of the things about your current mattress that makes you want to switch it up! Notice if and where it makes you uncomfortable. Maybe you’ve just hit that 10+ year mark, and the time has come. Either way, know a little bit about what you might want and NOT want when you start shopping!
In-person mattress shopping is almost always the way to go. Go to your local furniture store or mattress dealer, and see what they have to offer. You don’t have to know exactly what you’re looking for, but have an idea!
Do you like a super soft bed that envelopes you? You might like a less firm foam mattress! Do you experience back pain and maybe need a little extra support? An innerspring mattress might be for you! The consultants will be able to fill in any gaps that you might not be so sure of, and they will help guide you to what’s best!
Always lie down on the mattress! Don’t feel shy; this mattress is going to be with you for a while, so make sure that you feel comfy. Experts recommend trying out a mattress for around 10-15 minutes in store. And we promise we won’t judge you if you just so happen to doze off!
When you get to the store, DO NOT be scared to ask questions!
A big answer that you need is whether or not the store you choose sells “seconds” or not. A second is a mattress that has been returned for a particular reason and is being resold. While these mattresses might seem like they fit better into your budget, you would be getting a used mattress.
Speaking of budgeting, that leads me to my next point. Save up for a top-of-the-line mattress that gives you everything you want AND need! Mattresses can be expensive; there is no question about that.
But remember, you mattress is going to be with you for a long time. You will be spending at least 8-10 hours everyday in it! Take into consideration the firmness you desire, whether or not you need cooling properties, and where you need the most support.
All of these things might send the price of your mattress up. Find out what is most important to you and what will give you the best night’s sleep and budget for that!
I know it’s cheesy, but when you invest in your mattress you are investing in yourself! Your bed is where you lay your head down at night and where you open your eyes in the morning. You watch TV and relax on it, and you even do you work-from-home on it! It is important that with any mattress you are considering purchasing that it fits your needs to a “T.” Take the time, do the research, save wisely, and ask questions!
