Mattress Tips For Better Buying

These mattress tips are meant to break it all down so you don’t have to be a mattress expert to understand what is what. Let’s face it, today’s mattress buying is increasingly more difficult as more mattress brands and mattress models enter the marketspace.

But rest assured. The Sleep Center know all about mattresses and our store owner, Brent Spaulding, is a co-author of the Mattress Professor consumer education guide that expands on this information.

No matter what words or products any salesperson pushes your way, there are two points - comfort and support - that it all boils down to. Let's review our basic principles on Comfort & Support.

Comfort. It requires a varying degree of comfort to relieve pressure points, allowing proper blood circulation while you are supported and to provide you with a truly restful sleep surface.

Support. It takes a certain amount of support to resist sag from the weight of your body and to hold your back properly in place, which is critical. A soft, balanced resistance to hold your body from falling to the ground, while at the same time counteracting your body's weight from gravitational pull.

You will gain the very best comfort by a guided tour on different mattress models that vary from plush to firm in feel plus a range of innerspring, foam, and hybrid mattress sets to properly match your body type to the optimal sleep system. It all comes down to the ideal balance between comfort & support, so keep that in mind when laying down and trying out any mattresses and/or with any mattresses you like.

If you compromise on either one of these important mattress principles, your sleep will suffer and you will be back shopping for a new mattress in no time at all. All of our experienced sleep consultants know to always keep these principles in mind while you "Test Rest" various models on our showroom floors. Each mattress is different, and your body type and lifestyle greatly affect what the best mattress for you will be. Come see us for some friendly help.
