Is there anything more confusing than buying a new mattress?

There are so many different kinds out there, and buying a mattress definitely takes time, but don’t be intimidated. Here are 3 things to know when buying a mattress.

1. Comfort

First and foremost, you should love the way the mattress feels — and that means trying out a lot of floor models. Don’t be shy about this: Lie down on your back, side and stomach, and have your partner or a friend flop down hard next to you so you can see if the motion is transferred to your side of the bed. And make sure to spend enough time on each mattress.

If, when testing mattresses, you find a more expensive mattress feels much more comfortable, the investment in your sleep comfort may be worth it – especially when you consider you’ll probably have your mattress for 10 years. If this happen, you may want to consider financing your purchase.

2. Materials

It’s not always obvious what your mattress is made of, but the materials can make a big difference. These days it’s possible to buy a mattress with state-of-the-art technology that disperses your body heat to keep you cool at night. You can also choose hypoallergenic fabrics or all-natural, sustainable materials for your mattress. You can even seek out luxurious cashmere covers and high-end quilting for a truly impressive night’s sleep. The bottom line? Ask what it’s made of and how those materials will work for you.

3. Warranty

Look for a long-term warranty that covers damages to the coils and sagging or body indentations beyond an acceptable depth. While it’s normal for your new mattress to show some wear over time, a good warranty will offer a generous replacement or repair policy for any damage beyond the ordinary. In general, the longer the warranty period lasts, the better quality mattress you’re getting, as the manufacturer is confident in its durability.

Take your time and try out as many mattresses as you want while shopping. Ask lots of questions, and feel free to “sleep” on your decision — you’ll be glad you did!
