How to Buy a Mattress - A Buying Guide For Beginners

For beginners, who probably just moved out of their parents' home, one of the essential things to know is how to buy a mattress for your bed. Buying a mattress may sound easy as going to a department store and buying the cheapest model out there. But the cheapest mattress out there may prove to be disastrous because it cannot provide comfort, as a bed should. You have to know that we spend a lot of time on our mattress since we sleep there. It is supposed to be comfortable for us to sleep in. Therefore, beginners who know nothing about buying mattresses should read this handy guide.

Mattress Warehouse

1. The first step on how to buy a mattress for beginners is to determine the size of the mattress to buy. Remember, there are many different sizes for mattresses. If you sleep alone, then purchase a single or twin size mattress to save on costs. However, if you sleep with a partner, then most likely you should get a mattress that can fit you both comfortably for sleep. Larger mattresses like queen bed mattresses or king bed mattresses are appropriate for couples. It is actually the king size bed that is perfect for couples who prefer maximum sleeping space.

2. The second step on how to buy a mattress is to determine the comfort provided by the mattress. This includes the softness or hardness of the mattress. Usually, it is a subjective preference for a buyer whether a soft mattress or a hard mattress provides the comfort needed. Comfort is a very important factor in purchasing a mattress. If you think a soft mattress is comfortable, then get a soft mattress. If you think a hard mattress if comfortable, then get a hard mattress. Comfort of the mattress boils down to personal preference.

3. The third step on how to buy a mattress is to know if the mattress is durable. Long-lasting mattresses are usually a good buy. It should also come with several years of warranty. You do not want to buy a mattress that offers no warranty at all. Some mattresses offer at least a decade worth of warranty.

4. The fourth step on is to do your research on what brand of mattress you are willing to purchase. The best way to do your research on mattresses is by means of reading bed mattress reviews online. You might ask why this is the best way to do research when it comes to buying mattresses.

Here are some reasons:

Testimonials given by customers in bed mattress reviews provide an insight on what brands to consider buying and what brands to truly avoid.

From the testimonials given by customers in mattress reviews, you get to learn the true value of the mattresses. True value means whether the price is worth the quality the mattress offers.

Since you are still a beginner in buying a bed mattress, by reading bed mattress reviews, you will learn useful lessons and other tips in selecting brands and models of mattresses. So reading them is actually like doing your research.

Reading bed mattress reviews is a helpful way for beginners to learn how to choose the right one. People who leave comments and testimonials offer helpful advice that no salesman can give. So I want to wish you the best of luck in looking for your first mattress. Just follow these directions and surely you'll buy a mattress that you'll enjoy and sleep on for years to come.

Memory Foam - History, Hows and Hazards

We spend one-third of our lives sleeping so it makes sense that we are always on the lookout for products that will promote a better sleeping experience especially where the bed itself is concerned. Fortunately, scientists at the NASA Ames Research Center and the engineers at Stencel Aero Engineering Corporation came up with the memory foam in 1966, which they first called as temper foam although its technical name is visco-elastic polyurethane foam. (Same foam, different names, so to speak) After two decades, the idea behind the visco elastic foam passed into public domain and, hence, opened up a world of opportunity for various applications. Initially, it was rough going for the few manufacturers who took advantage of the potentials of the memory foam since the technology was still very difficult to master. Nowadays, however, there are numerous manufacturers offering various foam products ranging from small travel pillows to full-sized visco elastic foam mattresses for home and hospital use. And with more manufacturers came more competition and, hence, lower prices for similar qualities.

Mattress Warehouse

So, how does the visco elastic foam work in the real world away from its space origins? Basically, it is just an insulating material like all other polyurethane foams that preceded it. The main difference is that the visco elastic or memory foam mattress realigns itself so as to mold into the body contours of the individual sitting or lying on its surface. This is made possible either through heat (high-density foam) or pressure (low-density foam), either of which provide for excellent support to the legs, spine, hips, neck and head especially along the pressure points. Technically speaking, the memory foam consists of dense and spherical foam shapes that are temperature sensitive.

Mattress Warehouse

The benefits of the visco elastic foam mattress on its ability to provide adequate support to the pressure points of the body. As such, the stresses on the skeletal and muscular systems are significantly lessened, which leads to many health benefits. To name a few, you will enjoy better sleep since your body follows its natural contours, you will wake up with lesser back and neck pains, and your spine will be protected from unnatural curvatures. Basically, even just the fact that you can sleep better with the memory foam is sufficient reason to purchase one if only because better sleep means lesser stress and healthier body.

And speaking of purchasing the visco elastic foam mattress, there are a few things to be considered. You have to determine if you can stand the chemical odor often present in new memory foam mattresses and pillows. For individuals with respiratory sensitivity, it might be a good idea to try out smaller version of the memory foam like pillows before buying into the full-sized versions. For another thing, you have to determine who will use said memory foam product. If it is a baby, forget about buying it as it is not suitable for babies to sleep on. So, now that you know all about the memory foam from its original out-of-this-world application to its present down-to-earth uses, you can make better decisions about it. Hopefully, it will be in favor of purchasing the foam product for the sake of a good night's sleep as well as good health.

Why You Should Use a Daybed Mattress

When first browsing daybeds, it isn't always clear what type of mattress you should use. Can you use a futon mattress on your daybed or the twin mattress your tween outgrew when she upgraded to a full size bed? The short answer is no and yes. Because a futon mattress is designed to be folded in half, you should try to avoid using a futon mattress on your daybed, but, yes, a standard size twin mattress will fit a daybed. But if you want the ideal fit and look for your daybed, keep in mind that daybed mattresses are specifically designed for daybeds and to showoff daybed bedding to its best advantage.

Mattress Warehouse

Types of Daybed Mattresses

Mattress Warehouse

Daybed mattresses fall into three general categories: innersping, cotton/foam, or memory foam.

Mattresses made of a cotton/foam mix will allow the mattress to breathe, while the foam helps it to keep its shape. Support, comfort and durability depend on how the materials are layered, the quality of foam and cotton used, and the thickness.

The innerspring daybed mattress resembles a standard innerspring mattress. A coil system made up of 300 plus coils depending on the brand/manufacturer is cushioned between layers of cotton/foam padding. As with standard mattresses, the quality of mattress will depend on the configuration of the coils and the strength and thickness of the metal used to make them. An innerspring futon mattress will feel firmer than ones made with foam.

The all foam day bed mattress is considered to be the softest and most comfortable. The foam makes them durable, as well as lighter than a cotton/foam futon. They are constructed by layering different types of foam, and can include medium density, high density, flat and convoluted or egg carton foams. Convoluted foam is commonly used in the top and bottom layers (so that it is on top when the mattress is flipped) because it helps evenly distribute the weight applied to the mattress. Foam daybed mattresses are also known for providing maximum support.

Daybed Mattresses Size

While daybed mattresses are available only in twin size, they are typically thinner than standard twin size mattresses. Daybed mattresses are deliberately thinner to make allowances for the daybed's distinctive back; you don't want the back so high that the unique design is obstructed from view. There's no law stating that you can't use the standard twin mattress you already have on hand; just make sure that it won't cover up the very features that attracted you to daybed in the first place. When using standard twin size mattresses instead of daybed mattresses, an individual mattress should be no higher than eight inches. Don't forget that you will also need to leave room for daybed bedding.

Daybed Mattresses for Trundle Beds

A trundle unit is a bed frame specifically designed to hold and store an additional mattress underneath most types of daybeds. The most common types of trundles are pop-up and pull-out. When purchasing day bed mattresses for trundles, regardless of the type you have chosen to go with your daybed, it is important to remember that the twin size day bed mattress will be stored underneath the sleeping platform of the daybed. Make sure that the daybed mattress fits comfortably on the frame and that it isn't so thick that it will become snagged on the daybed frame or the underside of the link spring.

Which Tempurpedic Mattress Is Best for You?

Mattress shopping can be stressful. So many people learn the hard way not to buy just any old mattress. Perhaps you have heard that Tempur-Pedic mattresses are good, and you are not sure which one would work best for you. Being stuck with the wrong mattress for a couple of years is not something anyone wants to do.

Mattress Warehouse

It is best to first consider whether you prefer soft, medium, and hard mattresses, which cover fibers you prefer, and then how much you want to spend on your Tempur-Pedic mattress. The Tempur-Pedic mattress company does not offer only one mattress. They actually offer three different types of mattress collections. There are the TEMPUR-Cloud, the TEMPUR-HD, and the TEMPUR-Contour mattress collections to choose from. Each of these mattress collections feature several mattresses that offer different features.

Mattress Warehouse

Lets take a look at each collection: The first collection is the TEMPUR-Cloud Collection. Featured within this collection are the TEMPUR-Cloud Luxe, the TEMPUR-Cloud Supreme, and the regular TEMPUR-Cloud mattresses (I don't know about you, but anything cloud sounds really good to me). All three of the Cloud mattresses are medium-soft, and have the TEMPUR-ES foam material that allows for a cloud like pillow-top that allows bed to customize to your body shape while you are sleeping. The softness and customization of the Cloud mattresses reduces the amount of weight that is applied to the pressure points on your body. It will depend how much cloud-like softness you want, choose the Luxe for the softest mattress, the Supreme for medium softness, and the regular TEMPUR-Cloud for an average amount of softness.

For people who prefer a mattress that is somewhere between medium-soft to medium-firm, there is the TEMPUR-HD Collection. The HD Collection features the TEMPUR-HD material that cradles and conforms to your body to reduce the weight applied to the body's pressure points during sleep. This helps reduce any tossing or turning that other mattresses may cause. Much like the TEMPUR-CLOUD Collection, the TEMPUR-HD Collection features three bed choices, including the GrandBed, the AlluraBed, and the RhapsodyBed. Each of these mattress sets are medium-soft to medium-firm, but have different types of mattress coverings.

The GrandBed is covered in a luxurious silk and cashmere blend, the AlluraBed has a silk and bamboo cover, and the RhapsodyBed is more economical and has a TEMPUR-Tex top. The third collection of TEMPUR mattresses is the TEMPUR-Contour collection. This collection features five different medium-firm to firm mattress types featuring the traditional TEMPUR material allowing the mattress to again conform to body shape during sleep and reduce pressure points.

The TEMPUR-Contour Signature features a 12 inch micro-fiber knit material cover, and respectively, the TEMPUR-Contour Select is also a micro-fiber covered 10 inch mattress. For a cheaper price, the same mattress is available in the TEMPUR-Contour mattress. For one who needs a thicker mattress, but that is not worried with what type of cover is used, the BellaFina Bed is 10 inches thick, and features the same TEMPUR material. Lastly, and certainly not least, is the OriginalBed by Tempurpedic, and it features an 8 inch thick mattress with a terry cloth cover that is removable so that it can be washed.

With so many mattress choices in the Tempur-Pedic mattress collections, there is a mattress for everyone's preference and price range. Each mattress can be tried out for 90 nights before purchase. If you try out the mattress for 90 days, and you decide it isn't for you, then you can simply return the mattress - there will be no charge. What other mattress store lets you try before you buy?

Stearns and Foster Mattress Reviews - Is it a Value For Your Money?

Whenever there are forums that talk about which between Simmons, Serta and Sealy mattress brands are the best, some people tend to answer differently saying that Stearns and Foster mattress is a better option. In fact, even those in the mattress retail industry will push this more than the other more reputable brands. It leads one to suspect if this is just a ploy to increase their sales pitch or if they are really a reliable brand.

Mattress Warehouse

Now is the best time to figure out once and for all if this is a brand worth buying. Let us find out.

Mattress Warehouse

Old Lineage Sealy is one of the oldest mattress companies but it turned out that Stearns and Foster beats them when it comes to old lineage. They have been in this business for over a century and a half so that takes care of the issue of mattress crafting experience.

Comfort What may be comfortable for you may be a pile of uncomfortable foams for others. That just means every person has a different comfort preference. This is exactly why they offer various mattresses with different technologies so you can find the right one fit for your back.

In general, this mattress brand is considered comfortable. Their softer mattresses provide a luxurious mattress feel. Their other technologies also provide a good amount of support especially to the back.

There are just some people who do not feel happy at all with their purchase. But I think this is a normal thing in every business. You cannot please everybody, after all. What is remarkable about them is that they try hard to provide the right mattress for their customers. There are even sleep experts employed by Stearns and foster that can help you arrive to a better decision.

Durability When you browse over Stearns and Foster reviews, you can arrive to the conclusion that they provide durable mattresses. There are only a few people who complain about mattress sagging in a few years.

I guess it really is a risk to buy a mattress, no matter how reputable the mattress company is. Buying a mattress is unique from one person to another. When you put yourself at this risk, you have to get the corresponding assurance. And this assurance is in the form of a warranty claim. Don't get out of the store without asking more about the warranty claim as this will protect you from mattress scams.
