A good night’s sleep is one of life’s greatest blessings. But,
if your mattress is old and lumpy, that blessing can become a
curse. I remember the early days of my marriage which were spent
on a bed that can be best termed a plastic canoe! Finding the
perfect mattress for your body can take a little work and a
little more experimentation. Here are some tips to help you
find the right mattress for you:
1. Try several types, styles and brands of mattresses. Try
foam, pillow-top, water, adjustable and air mattresses. What
may feel absolutely wonderful for one person may not feel
right to another. If two of you will sleep on the bed, try
to compromise on a mattress that will fit both of you, which
may take some research.
2. Make certain that the mattress has at least a ten-year
warranty. Check the proration! The proration is the
percentage of the original purchase price the mattress
manufacturer will refund if the mattress is defective.
Some manufacturers reduce the amount by a certain for
each year you own the mattress.
3. If two of you are going to use the mattress, make sure both
of you do the shopping. And don’t just sit on the mattress.
Lay on it – both of you!
4. Check the ticking (outside cover) fabric. The ideal fabric
should be a cotton blend or a damask. If the cover is made
of vinyl or polyester, the fabric will not “breathe” and
will be uncomfortable in the summer.
5. Check the support on the outer edges of the mattress. The
sides of the mattress should provide as much support as the
middle. To check, roll from the center of the bed to the
sides and back.
6. Check that the handles of the mattress are firmly attached to
the innersprings to aid in moving. It is difficult to maneuver
a mattress that has no handles.
7. Purchase the box springs or foundation and mattress as a set.
They are made to support each other and will wear at the same
rate.
8. The coil count for a quality mattress should start at 300
for a full or standard mattress, 375 for a queen and 450 for
a king-size mattress. A higher coil count means a
higher-quality mattress.
9. As a general rule, the wider the coil, the more sturdy the
mattress and the longer it will wear.
10. Make certain you are comfortable with the size of bed you
choose.
Remember:
- A twin extra-long is 39in wide and 80in long
- A regular twin or single bed is 39in wide and 75in long
- A full, standard or double bed is 54in wide and 75in long
- A queen mattress is 60in wide and 80in long
- An eastern king is 76in wide and 80in long.
Take your time to choose the right mattress. After all, making
the right choice can ensure you will have many great nights of
sleep. The wrong choice and you will lie awake at night and
count the spots on the ceiling, the sheep jumping over your
headboard or surfing the internet until you fall asleep.

On second thought, choose the first mattress you find, then read
a couple of my articles. That should put you right to sleep!
