The Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid When Shopping for a Mattress

Buying a mattress is one of the most important decisions of your life. Did you know that the average person spends one-third of his/her life asleep? So, doesn’t it make sense that buying the right mattress is important?

If you want to be sure to find the right mattress, you need to know what “not” to do. Here are the top 10 mistakes to avoid when shopping for your next mattress.

1. More than Innerspring. So many people out there think that innerspring mattresses are the only type of mattress on the market. Innerspring mattresses have been the most popular for many years for their inexpensive nature. However, these mattresses do not, in any way, provide the optimal level of comfort or support. If you have any special needs, such as back problems, neck pain, etc. you need to look beyond innerspring mattresses.

2. Explore your needs. Take the time to consider what your individual needs are. Just because one mattress is more popular than another doesn’t necessarily mean that it will suit your individual needs. Keep your mind open to many different options.

3. Trends and gimmicks. Don’t fall susceptible to different trends or gimmicks in the mattress world. Following the latest trends doesn’t ensure that your needs will be met.

4. Firmness vs. support. The majority of consumers think that firmness also means support. This is certainly not the case. Many people think that the best mattresses are the most firm. The best mattresses are soft enough to relieve pressure points, yet have enough support to support your entire body.

5. Buying more than you need. Don’t get suckered into buying more than you need. If your box spring or platform is in good shape, don’t buy another one. Go mattress shopping with the mindset that you are not going to buy anything more than you absolutely need.

6. Exchange policies. As we stated earlier, buying a mattress is a big decision, right? Well, if that is the case (which it is), shouldn’t you be familiar with the retailer’s exchange policy. Many retailers let you try the mattress in your home for 30, 60 or 90 days. You need be be aware of each policy so that you aren’t stuck with a mattress that is completely uncomfortable for you.

7. The value of a good night’s sleep. Most people don’t realize how much time they spend in bed. Take this into consideration. Don’t sleep on a mattress that isn’t going to support you or relieve your pressure points. It simply isn’t worth it.

8. Brand names. Name brand mattresses are usually great quality beds. However, some smaller companies may offer the same quality for much less. If you can find a good quality mattress for a fraction of the price, do it. Don’t become so loyal to brand names that you miss out on other opportunities.

9. Longevity. The Better Sleep Council recommends that you replace your innerspring mattress at least every five years. On the other end of the spectrum, latex mattresses can last up to 20 years. This is quite a big difference. Consider the longevity of each mattress.

10. Features and benefits. You are going to need specific features and benefits. Make sure you know these benefits before mattress shopping. If you need to, make a list of the most important features. Don’t get home and wish you would have gotten the mattress with … feature.

Buying the right decision is such an important decision. Don’t make any of these mistakes if you want to be comfortable and get a good night’s sleep.

OK there may be some mis-conceptions about round mattresses, so there is no need to break out the 70′s porn music just yet (or go find the rotating circular stand).  I wanted to talk about normal reasons some people may have for wanting a round mattress, and who can make you a custom round mattress.

I was in the market for a round mattress a few months ago, and was searching all over for a company who could create a custom round mattress that was made of memory foam.  I wanted a high quality memory foam mattress, but it had to be round as well for the room I was putting it in.  I came across Rocky Mountain Mattress and gave them a call because it says on their website that they can custom make a mattress any size.

They can, and they did and I am really glad I went with Rocky Mountain Mattress.  If you are looking for a round mattress, Rocky Mountain Mattress can help.  Get all of the information for a round mattress on the custom mattress page – http://www.rockymountainmattress.com/company/custom-mattress.php

I had been looking everywhere online for a mattress company that offered an oversized mattress, and came across the custom mattresses offered by Rocky Mountain Mattress.  I am happy to let everyone know that they offer oversized mattresses and can custom build any size mattress you may be needing or wanting.

I happened to need a bed that is 9 foot long (long story so don’t ask), and they were able to custom build me a memory foam mattress to my exact specifications!  It did not take any longer to ship to me then a normal order, and because its memory foam, it is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on!  Rocky Mountain Mattress made it so easy for me to work with them, they answered all my questions and took care of any concerns I had.  I will be ordering from them again, although maybe not a 9 foot bed, but I will be ordering another memory foam mattress from them again in the future.

I talked to a guy named Dave, and got a hold of him at Rocky Mountain Mattress HQ through this number – (801) 560-7628.  Also you can find the same information I did originally about custom mattresses via this link on their website – http://www.rockymountainmattress.com/company/custom-mattress.php
