Health and wellness professionals and sleep experts alike concur that a comfortable night's sleep can make you feel better, have more energy and increase that spring in your step. Owning a high-quality, supportive and comfortable mattress and box spring is an essential part of getting the rest you need. With the dizzying array of bed and mattress products on the market today buying the right one can be a confusing experience.
According to
She recommends considering these tips when shopping for a mattress:
First, know what signifies a quality mattress. When buying your next mattress, talk to your mattress salesperson about its construction. Things to look for:
- Multiple layers of fiber filling. These are cooler and more comfortable than foam.
- A double-sided mattress that can be flipped for use on both sides.
- An innerspring system that is supple yet provides strong support.
- Brass eyelets and vents on the borders which -- along with the innerspring system -- help the mattress breathe for a cooler, cleaner sleep.
- A box spring built with steel coils. This flexibility relieves pressure and enhances support and comfort. Avoid rigid platform construction.
Then, put the mattress to this physical test.
- Lie down.
- If two people share the bed, mattress-test together.
- Let your body tell you what's comfortable now. Your needs may have changed since you last bought a mattress.
- Size is an aspect of comfort. Choose a mattress that allows for free, easy movement.
- Comfort is personal. Firm is not necessarily better.
