The Mattress Buying Guide

Posted on 8.17.22

With the average person spending about a third of their life in their bed (PubMed), making decisions about your mattress is very important.

With years of experience in the industry, we've compiled a list of tips and things to consider when making your next mattress purchase.

When Should You Replace Your Mattress

All mattresses should be replaced every 7-10 years. Other signs you need to replace your mattress include:

• Visible sagging, indentions, or lumps

• Squeaking upon movement

• Waking up with aches and pains

• You and your partner roll in towards the middle during the night

• Visible stains that can't be cleaned out

Things to Consider When Shopping for a New Mattress

Mattress Size

One of the first things to consider when mattress shopping is the size of the mattress you are going to purchase. Before you go shopping or start browsing online, measure the area the mattress will go into. This will let you know what your options are.

After you've determined the amount of space available, take into consideration the size and number of people sharing the bed. Mattresses should be longer than the tallest person using it and wide enough to allow you to fold your arms behind your head without going off the mattress or touching your partner.

Our mattress size guide will help determine which mattress is best for your specific needs.

Mattress Brand

Purchasing a mattress from a reputable brand is important as well. Read reviews online and get feedback from other customers about each brand's mattress. Purchasing a mattress from a reliable brand will help ensure you'll get a quality night of sleep for years to come.

Mattress Quality

One of the biggest factors affecting your sleep experience is the quality of your mattress. Higher-quality mattresses last longer and will provide better overnight support for your back and neck.

Bedzzz Express only offers quality top brands that offer great products. Buying a mattress is not only a necessary purchase but also an investment in your mental and physical health.

Mattress Comfort & Type

Our Mattresses come in a variety of comfort types to fit any preference. While some types are known to be better for back pain and sleeping positions, it really comes down to your preference. Here are some general guidelines to help.

• If you're a back sleeper, hybrid mattresses, innerspring with pillowtop mattresses, and memory foam mattresses will be best for you. Here are more tips on the best mattresses for back sleepers.

• If you're a stomach sleeper, firmness is important. Firm or plush firm mattresses are ideal for you. Here are more tips on the best mattresses for stomach sleepers.

You can start your shopping process by browsing mattresses online, but we recommend that you end your purchase a local store. It is important to shop for mattresses in-store so you can try out different comfort levels to see what feels best for you. We suggest finding a mattress store near you and asking if they offer a trial period.

At Bedzzz Express, we want our customers to be happy and comfortable with their purchases. We offer a Take 3 Guarantee and allow you to take up to three years to exchange your mattress. If you aren't happy with the comfort type you chose, let us know!
