Buying a new mattress can be overwhelming with so many options. Your mattress is more than just a place to sleep—it’s the foundation of your overall sleep quality and, by extension, your daily well-being.
You struggle to fall asleep. When you eventually do fall asleep, you wake up tired and stiff. Your mattress looks and feels uneven. Or, maybe you’ve got family coming over for the holidays and haven’t gotten around to buying a bed for the spare bedroom yet.
What are you waiting for? These are all signs that it’s time for a new mattress! “But I’ve been sleeping on the same mattress for ten years.” I hear you saying. “Where do I begin looking for a new one?”
If you’re buying a new mattress, fear not, we’ve got you covered. Here are five things you need to consider when buying a new mattress.
- Size
- Comfy-ness
- Price
- Warranty
- Extra Features
1. Size
How many people will be sleeping on the bed? Consider your current situation and what it might look like in a few months or years from now. Remember to measure the size of the room! There is nothing worse than buying a brand new bed and realising that you accidentally purchased a mattress too big to fit the room amid all the excitement.
2. Comfy-ness
Comfyness or support refers to the firmness you experience when lying on a mattress. Do you sink into the mattress or lie on top of it? Firmness can be a tricky topic as preference is subjective. Generally, firmness (Comfy-ness) is categorised as Soft, Medium Firm and Firm. There are pros and cons to every Firmness type. We recommend giving the different feels a try before buying your mattress.
3. Price
Mattress shopping is a balance between luxury and price. It would be best if you found a mattress that suits your needs and your budget! Take the time to research and find a supplier willing to sell at factory low prices.
Investing in a new mattress can be a significant expense, but it’s important to view it as an investment in your health and well-being. While you don’t need to break the bank, be wary of cheap mattresses that may lack durability and comfort. Instead, focus on finding a mattress that offers the best value for your money. Look for a balance between quality, comfort, and price. Many retailers, including Comfy Beds, offer financing options and sales events, making it easier to find a high-quality mattress within your budget.
4. Warranty
At least for me, the warranty is the most crucial factor other than Comfy-ness. Think about it; you spend roughly 33% of your life sleeping (On a Mattress). I want peace of mind that what I’m buying will last me at least five to seven years. And if a mattress gives the slightest whiff of a problem, the manufacturer will replace it!
5. Extra Features
Is the mattress chiropractor approved? Does it need to be turned? (And if so, how often?) What is the weight limit? Are the sides reinforced? These questions would be specific to your needs when buying a new mattress. If you have any particular requirements, find the mattress to accommodate them. Just ensure the features aren’t a gimmick to make you dish out extra cash.
Conclusion
Mattress shopping doesn’t have to be daunting. Do your research, identify your needs and find a decent supplier willing to sell at factory-low prices. Buying a new mattress is a decision that will impact your sleep quality and overall health for years to come. By considering factors like comfort, support, material, size, and budget, you can find the perfect mattress to meet your needs.
