A Mattress Buying Guide
Elijah Gichuhi


You spend more time on your bed than on any other piece of
furniture in your home, and you rely on it more as a source of
relief and comfort from day to day chores not forgetting
re-energizing effect and purging daily distress. That's why
mattress selection is an important shopping exercise. The
following are tips to consider before buying a new mattress:


Durability.
This has to do with how long the material of the mattress will
last. A good mattress should last for about 8-10 years. It is
suggested therefore one to consider it as an investment. Don’t
just settle for the lowest price; look for the best durable
quality.


Individual taste and preferences
The best recommendation is using the process of elimination to
weed out the ones you dislike. Go to the retailer and use the
“rest test” to narrow down your choice (s). Consider preference
on comfort, support and space.


Consider buying online.
With the internet comes the ability to get accurate information
that can allow you to do comparative shopping analysis before
actually buying your new mattress.


Consider the size.
Buying a too-small mattress is one of the biggest mistakes new
bed-buyers make. Consider the size that suits the height and
weight of bed users.


Decide how much you will spend.
Consider a mattress that is comfortable and falls within your
price range. Remember that a more expensive mattress isn’t
necessarily a better mattress.


Test your mattress.
Lie down on the bed in the position you normally sleep.
Stretch, toss and turn on the mattress mimicking sleep to
assess what you are buying.


Check for the warranty.
Ask for a 30-60 day guarantee to insure that you get a good
night sleep on the new mattress. Give yourself several weeks
before deciding it isn’t working for you.


Boxspring.
The boxspring often is called the foundation. Don’t buy a
mattress without getting a new boxspring for it. The box spring
does much of the work for the mattress by absorbing stress and
weight.


Buy with confidence.
Before making any purchase, make sure you know what you’re
buying, know your seller and if you are protected if you are
buying online.
