Here are some "Must Have" features to look for when you are buying a new mattress!

    • 1. Support: The right mattress will provide support for all points in your body, particularly your spine, and keep your body in its natural curve. Your spine should support you the same way while you are asleep as it does while you are standing. However, support may not be everything…
    • 2. Creature Comforts All the mattresses we carry will give you great support. What varies is the amount of surface cushioning. Some people prefer a bed that has very little cushioning and has a very firm surface. Others want all the padding they can get – they want to be cradled in comfort! As long as the support is there, the surface comfort is a matter of personal preference.
    • 3. Mattresses are getting thicker Today's top quality mattresses are great deal thicker than mattresses that were made years ago. The good news is that those thicker mattresses mean greater comfort now and for years to come. So don't be afraid of those thick mattresses, your back and the rest of your body will thank you for it.
    • 4. I Need My Space Make sure you have room to stretch out. This is especially important when sleeping with a partner or spouse. The more room you have to get comfortable, the better rested you’ll be in the morning!
    • 5. Built to Last Your bed may be soft, but your mattress should have a core of steel. That means that it should provide great support. If it's top-quality and guaranteed to last for 10 years, then you've got a winner.
    • 6. I've Got It Covered You have a warranty for your VCR, your coffee maker, your new HDTV, so why wouldn't you have one for your mattress? Most high quality mattresses come with a 10 year, non-prorated warranty. Please note that warranties only cover defects in workmanship and materials, not normal wear and tear.
    • 7. Perfect Match In choosing your bedspreads, sheets and pillows, you can mix and match with wonderful results. This does not apply to what's under the sheets. When you buy a new mattress and you intend to use it on a box spring or foundation, be sure to buy the matching foundation. If you use a new mattress on an old foundation, the new mattress will not be supported adequately and you may void your warranty
    • 8. Count Sheep, Not Dollars The Better Sleep Council says: "Shop for the best value, not the lowest price.” "Bargain bedding" is no bargain when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. Buying the best you can afford is the best investment you can make. After all, you spend a third of your life in bed. Spread over the 10 year life of the mattress, a great quality bed costs less than your daily cup of coffee!
    • 9. Outside The Box A matching box spring is a good and necessary investment. The box spring is a crucial element, providing the mattress with the proper support and acting as a shock absorber, allowing the mattress to flex without being damaged, adding to comfort and durability.
    • 10. Sleep On It Even if you feel uncomfortable testing a mattress in the showroom, just stretch out on it and imagine yourself sleeping. That’s the best way to determine if you will be comfortable on it. Sitting on the edge concentrates your weight in one spot and won’t give you any idea how the bed really feels when you’re sleeping.
