Mattress Buying Tips The Salesman Doesn’t Want You To Know

Looking for some fun? Whatever you do, Don't Click Here!

Do you believe you will sleep better on a mattress with a higher price tag? Or are you like those who believe memory foam makes for the ultimate mattress? Sounds like a lot of hooey to me. Here’s seven reasons why.

A Firm Mattress Supports Your Back Best: A firm mattress does not guarantee comfort. Besides if the mattress is too firm it can be uncomfortable for your hips or shoulders. So choose a mattress that feels comfy to you knowing there is no one best firmness.

More Coils – More Comfort: False. Less is more sometimes. Durability and comfort are in no way influenced by your mattress coil count. All you need is just 312 coils for a good cozy mattress.

An Adjustable Bed Is Recommended Only For People With Back Problems: Sure it’s true that these are bought by those recovering from some sort of injury or back pain. But the fact you can adjust the positioning of your feet or upper body makes them a good choice for many. Especially if you desire push button control.

Don’t Throw Away Your Mattress Until It Sags: If you go by this false truth, then you’ll probably end up with back pain. There are many reasons for a mattress not wear out early. Still if it’s disrupting your sleep maybe it’s time for a replacement.

You Can’t Go Wrong With Memory Foam: Again, two words – personal preference. Which leaves it to you to judge how comfortable a given mattress feels.

The Higher The Price Tag The Better The Mattress: The salesmen will love you if you feel this way. But seriously, as long as you stay away from the cheapest in the line you should be fine. Quality comes down to how a mattress is made, the types of springs, and padding. It’s always wise to take the bed for a 15 minute in store test drive to see how it feels to you.

You Can’t Judge A Mattress By Its Warranty: Correct. And don’t use the warranty period as a guide to how soon before you need to replace the mattress. When you see warranty think defects not lack of support. Any mattress will lose support over time. Only you can judge if it’s uncomfortable enough to merit buying a new one.

Now you better know truth and fiction in the world of mattresses. Don’t fall for the sales hypes shoveled by the salesman. Don’t buy a mattress in a hurry. Do sufficient research. Do check for your comfort level. Then and only then buy a mattress that feels good to you.
