Determine Your Budget:

Mattress saves you money by cutting out the middle-man, re-tailers. However,
quality construction is essential so you're not left with a poorly made, unsafe
bed.
Choose
Your Type and Material:
There
are three primary mattress types innerspring, Hybrid, and Foam. Hybrids are a combination
of innerspring coils and foam. Within the Foam, classifications are latex and
memory materials, both of which have exceptional benefits.
Choose
Your Topper:
Those
who prefer added comfort on the surface may opt for a pillowtop, which consists
of a soft material sewn into the cover.
Determine
Firmness:
When
choosing a mattress firmness, consider your sleeping position. Side sleepers
will do best with soft to medium beds. Back and Stomach sleepers should look at
medium or firm beds, while combination sleepers will benefit most from a
medium-firm feel.
Consider
Your Weight:
Your size will also determine the right firmness. Lighter
individuals will do best on soft to medium surfaces, while heavier individuals
should look at firmer models.
