There are many considerations to be made when purchasing a new mattress such as cost, comfort, and durability over time. Buying a new mattress can be almost an overwhelming task because there are so many different qualities and features that are available.
The first step to making an informed mattress choice is to do your research. There are many different brands of mattresses offering many different styles. In order to compare mattresses, they must have close to the same features. Comparing a standard mattress to a pillow top mattress will not give a good indication of their monetary value or comfort as the pillow top mattress will be more expensive and to some, more comfortable. Making sure you understand these differences will help you make a purchase that you won't regret later.
Another very important thing to remember is to test out the product yourself! It is easy to be distracted by attractive marketing campaigns used by crafty advertisers or drawn in by one or two key product features. However, one customer satisfaction survey revealed that the most satisfied customers were those who spent plenty of time (at least 30 minutes) at their local retail store testing out the various products for themselves. So when visiting your local mattress store, don't be afraid to try out all of the displays first hand. Lay on the mattress to see how it feels. Go ahead and roll around on it as you would at home. Position yourself in different ways on the mattress and pay attention to how it fits the contours of your body.
Mattress purchases are highly subjective and are determined by the comfort level of the mattress to the purchaser. Some people prefer hard mattresses while others may prefer a soft mattress. There is no mattress that would be perfect for everyone.
While comfort is important when buying a new mattress, you don't want to break the bank trying to buy a mattress. You need to decide on a budget you can afford and then let comfort be the deciding factor between mattresses in your price range. Some manufacturers and retailers allow you to try out the mattress for several days, some as many as 90 days, and if you don't like the mattress, you can return it. Make sure you are clear on what is allowed by the retailer, as some only allow mattresses to be returned if they are defective. Others have strict rules on the condition the mattress must be in to be allowed a refund and others allow exchanges only. Getting a replacement bed can become a complicated process so make sure you read the fine print in the warranty.
Innerspring mattresses, or coil spring mattresses are the most popular type of bed. There are many styles and features from a standard mattress to a pillow topped pocketed coil spring mattress. Most people are satisfied when they buy an innerspring mattress. Another choice would be a memory foam mattress made from visco elastic, polyurethane based foam. Memory foam mattresses form themselves to the shape of your body. However, some people may find the mattress too warm as these beds tend to retain more body heat than an innerspring mattress.
Coming in just behind the memory foam mattresses, are latex foam mattresses (which seemed to be almost as well-liked). This particular mattress is made from synthetic or (sometimes) natural rubber. People who reviewed the latex foam bed reported that they felt it provided more "spring" than a memory foam bed.
A final option is the air mattress which has adjustable air cushions and can be adjusted to provide maximum comfort.
