Has it finally come to this? Tossing and turning, back aches, perhaps some coils sticking out of your mattress and are causing you to get no sleep. If your mattress is five years or older, is a major sink hole and has you dreaming about sleeping on fluffy clouds then it is time to purchase a new mattress. Buying a new mattress can be intimidating with there being so many brands and styles from which you can choose. Even if you have a favorite type of bed, it is not always easy to comparison shop when manufactures are not always offering the same type of mattresses at each retailer. With the lack of diverse options the ability for consumers to comparison shop is limited. Today we would like to offer you a few tips to help with the buying process.

1. 1. Determine the mattress brands that carry the type of mattress you like and peruse their website before visiting a retailer. This way you can see all of their offerings, price ranges and get an idea of which specific retailer may carry what you are seeking.
2. 2. It always a good idea to measure the room where you plan setup the new bed. Do take into account the size of your headboard and footboard. Don’t forget to measure the doorways and hallways. You want to make sure your new mattresses will fit!
3. Standard Mattress Sizes include:

• • Twin 39” x 75” (99 cm x 198 cm)
  • Full or Double 54” x 75” (137 cm x 191 cm)
  • Queen 60” x 80” (152 cm x 203 cm)
  • King 76” x 80” (193 cm x 203 cm)
  • California King 72” x 84” (183 cm x 213 cm)

1. 3. Shop around and compare prices as you should never pay the full cost. Of course you can purchase a mattress online but if you go into the store you might have the option of negotiating a price.
2. 4. As the size, shape, and placement of the coils vary from brand to brand it is important to compare models under the same brand.
3. 5. Always test the mattress in the store for a few minutes. If you will be sharing the bed with a spouse or partner then it is good to take them along to test the mattress with you. This way you both get an idea if the mattress will work with your sleeping styles and offers enough support
4. 6. Most importantly, inquire about the warranty and return policy. Along with the return policy most retailers offer a comfort guarantee and some type of warranty. Sometimes they charge extra fees for a warranty or for returning the mattress so make sure you ask about any hidden fees.

Utilize the above tips, take your time, and have fun trying out some new mattresses!
