Consider the Types
When you’re looking for mattress stores, you will want to consider the mattress options available very carefully. Innerspring mattresses have been popular for a long time, yet two newer options may provide the comfort you seek. Adjustable air mattresses let you inflate the mattress to your comfort level, while memory foam options mold to your body.

Does More Foam Make Things Better?
A foam layer is often a part of innerspring mattresses. However, layers that are several inches thick make more of a difference than very thin layers. The performance still varies depending on the mattress, so you will want to test out the options you’re interested in most first.

Seeing is Believing
There are many stores that offer similar types of mattresses across various brand lines. However, visiting mattress stores to evaluate the options offered will give you a clearer picture than you would by simply doing comparison shopping online. You can ask questions and also be able to test out the different options more effectively.

Try Lying Down On the Mattresses

Most mattress sellers have no problem with their customers lying down on the mattresses to test their comfort level. Make sure you take your shoes off when you’re trying out your mattress. Give yourself about five or ten minutes to get a good feel for the mattresses you are most interested in using.

Do You Need to Use a Box Spring?
Many people are surprised to learn that they don’t require a box spring. Using a box spring helps raise your bed’s level, but does not provide support unless your frame still uses slats. Newer mattresses have the thickness you need without the use of a box spring.

When you need to replace your mattress, the sheer number of stores and offers available might seem daunting. However, if you know how to shop for the best options, you’ll have the best chance of getting a good deal on a great mattress.
