What to consider before buying a mattress

Types of mattresses

  • Memory foam: These are made of high-density foam and don’t include springs. The foam conforms to the shape of your body for added comfort. Additionally, if you toss and turn at night, you’re less likely to wake your partner since the foam doesn’t transfer motion. Some memory foam mattresses are known to trap heat, but many incorporate breathable layers of foam and gel that keep you cool while you sleep.

  • Innerspring: These mattresses use internal metal coils to support you. Innerspring mattresses may not provide as much support as other mattresses. Still, those with more coils and high-quality materials tend to be better than others. These are usually the most affordable, although prices can vary.
  • Hybrid: These combine aspects of other mattress types. They tend to offer more customization options than other mattresses. In many cases, hybrid mattresses feature a layer of memory foam or gel atop hundreds of internal coils.
  • Adjustable: These mattresses let you adjust the firmness using internal air bladders. Many of these feature remotes that are easy to use and let you set one side of the bed firmer than the other. They’re ideal for any sleeping style.

Sleeping position

  • Side sleepers: You’ll likely be more comfortable on a medium-firm mattress if you sleep on your side. Buying a mattress that conforms to your body is ideal.
  • Back sleepers: Back sleepers tend to prefer medium-firm mattresses. Heavier individuals will be more comfortable on a firm bed, whereas lighter people may want their mattress to be softer.
  • Stomach sleepers: If you sleep on your stomach, you’ll want a firm mattress to keep your spine aligned. Overly-soft mattresses may cause your spine to sink inwards, leading to back pain.
