The right mattress can improve the quality of your life by providing the healthy sleep your mind and body require. Studies show you are much more likely to maintain a healthy weight and avoid illness simply by getting good sleep. Because you will spend about 4 months out of the next year in bed, it’s important to find a mattress that’s a good fit for your personal comfort and lifestyle needs. Before you shop, learn how to buy a mattress with these simple but important tips from Slumberland Furniture.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
When shopping for a mattress, your primary considerations should be basic: how does the mattress feel, how much support does it provide and how long will it last? Information about coil counts and construction can be helpful, but if a mattress is uncomfortable, the specifications don’t matter. If it doesn’t feel good or offer proper support for your body type, you won’t sleep well. When testing a mattress, allow yourself a minimum of 5 minutes on each mattress to determine if it’s the right level of comfort and support.

MATERIALS
From memory foam to latex to innerspring, each mattress has its own unique characteristics and benefits. Your primary sleep position, comfort preferences, body type, and whether or not you sleep with a partner are all factors that can help determine which mattress type is best for you. Beautyrest, Sealy Posturepedic, Tempur-Pedic and Stearns & Foster all offer top-quality mattress sets, each with its own benefits, and each available at Slumberland Furniture. The key is finding the one that’s right for you.

SIZE
Another crucial element of quality sleep is the size of the mattress. Sleep experts believe the more sleep space you have, the higher quality sleep you will receive. This is primarily because the number one cause of sleep deprivation is motion, or feeling your partner toss and turn. More of your own space means less disrupted sleep. Select the largest set your room can accommodate and make sure the mattress has a quality edge support to help maximize sleep space.

The most common mattress sizes are as follows.
TWIN: 39”x75” A twin bed is frequently used in youth rooms or for one adult where space is at a premium.
FULL: 54”x75” A full bed (also called a double bed) is a common choice for both youth rooms and guest rooms. It is the smallest size to consider when two people share a bed.
QUEEN: 60”x80” A popular size for couples, a queen mattress set offers more sleeping space than a full bed, yet easily fits in most rooms.
KING: 76”x80” A king size mattress offers the largest sleep surface and is a perfect choice for partner sleep. It is important, though, to measure your hallways, doorways and room size to make sure a king mattress will fit your space.
CALIFORNIA KING 72”x84” The California King mattress offers more length but is not as wide as the standard king size, which sometimes makes it a better fit for some rooms while still offering maximum sleep surface.
