Buying a Mattress is not a decision one should make lightly – you will spend a significant part of the day on it. A quality mattress should satisfy all your body’s needs for a good night’s sleep and help you function better during the day. If you work hard during the day, you definitely know how it’s important to rest during the night.

Since a purchase of the mattress is important, you should know what you are looking for, so you will not spend too much money on a mattress that cannot meet your needs.

Here are some tips that could help you when it comes to buying a new mattress.

1. Define Your Budget

Before you start shopping for the new mattress, it is important that you know how much money you have and what is the maximum amount you are willing to spend. When you start your search, this amount may change slightly, but do not regret it – think of the mattress as an investment for the future. Although the price does not always guarantee the quality, keep in mind that a really quality mattress might be quite expensive. You could also look for sales and negotiate about the price.

2. Do Some Research before You Buy

Not only that you should explore the Internet, but you should consult your doctor, as well. Even though doctors and physical therapists are not mattress experts, they are familiar with your physical condition, and they could offer you some good advice that will help you decide which mattress might be the best option for you. On the Internet, you will find only some general information and other people’s experiences, but a real professional advice you will get only from your doctor.

There’s plethora of website out there who sleep-related stuff. But only a handful of them provide solid tips. Our recommendation is TheSleepStudies.com – they do in-depth reviews of a wide range of products and offer recommendations on a range of products, from the best mattresses (airbeds, latex, foam…) to accessories and bedding like best mattress toppers pads, and sheets.

Another person you should definitely talk to is your partner – after all, you are going to use this mattress together, so consider his or her needs, too.

3. Think about All the Options and Additional Features

Not every mattress is for everyone – what is ideal for one person, for the other does not have to be. There are several different types of mattresses, each with its own pros and cons, so even though it might be a good idea to ask your friends for a recommendation, you should still look for the one that fits your needs.

The most common three types are innerspring, memory foam and a combination of those two. The adjustable air mattresses are also becoming popular lately.

You should also think about the size and firmness of the mattress and whether or not you need a pillow top and a foundation.

4. Ask About Returns and Trial Periods

Even though you should test the mattress right in the store for at least 10 to 15 minutes, the real test comes during the first night spent sleeping on it. That is why there is a money-back guarantee period, which usually lasts about 30 days (but check with the salesperson in the store). This service is often free, but some stores charge it. Ask whether the shipping to/from your home is included or not so that you do not get surprised with any unexpected additional costs.

5. Check the Warranty

A good company proudly stands behind their products and a good mattress always comes with a minimum of a 10-year non-prorated replacement warranty. Before signing the papers, always ask for details and clarify what is and what is not covered by the warranty, so that there are no unpleasant surprises later.

Keep in mind that it is always better to invest more time and choose carefully than to choose fast and regret your choice for the next ten to fifteen years (or even more).
