Picking out a new mattress is not an easy job — it is actually a high-stakes investment. Choosing the wrong mattress can result in nightly discomfort, and, in more severe cases, back and neck pain. In short, there is more than meets the eye when it comes to mattress shopping. To avoid sore joints, it is critical that you make a careful and deliberate decision when selecting comfort level of your new mattress. There’s a reason you are here, and we are committed to helping you know what mistakes to avoid when shopping for your new mattress.
Let’s jump right in:
1. Not Understanding Your Options
Conducting the proper research and gathering enough resources to make a well-informed decision on the right mattress to purchase is underrated. From knowing the composition of the bed to understanding the modern mattress technology that will serve your needs to warranty and return policies to discount offers, you will find that there is plenty to consider.
There are new mattress innovations that have been designed to improve your sleep health. The more you are aware of the various types of mattresses there are, the more proficiently you can narrow your selection for the perfect mattress.
2. Too Much Emphasis on Price
As with most major investments, not worrying about the price of a mattress could make shopping so much easier. That said, a pricey bed does not equate to maximum comfort, and, on the other hand, a low-priced bed does not mean you’re in for a subpar experience. If you ask us, your sleep health is priceless, and instead of letting short-term costs deter you from making this investment, we implore you to think about the long-term benefits it will bring — such as deep and restorative sleep for years to come.
3. Making an Impulse Purchase
An impulse buy can happen on the heels of another person’s positive experience or soon after you tried out the bed at the store and it seemed satisfactorily comfortable. This is not to say that you should disregard the opinions of those close to you, but the right mattress for them does not mean it’s right for you — their opinion is good insofar that it gives you context for their choice or the needs the bed serves. Ultimately, you want to consider the long-term consequences of making such an impulsive purchase.
Before you buy a mattress in-store, we suggest lying on it the same way you normally sleep and contemplate your comfort level for a couple of minutes. In many cases, the purchase of a new mattress comes with a generous sleep trial that allows you to keep the mattress for a number of nights before returning it.
4. Your Pillow
Your current pillow may not “fit” with your new purchase. A pillow is about 30% of your overall comfort when you sleep. So, investing in a proper pillow every one to two years is to be expected.
