How To Choose The Best Mattress For Better Sleep
Shopping for a new bed is difficult. This guide will help you choose the right mattress.

You’ll find different types of mattresses. But remember, there is no such thing as a “one-size fits all” bed. Each person has a unique preference. That’s why you must know what suits you best.
Also, consider your partner if you have one.

Decide where to shop
Which is better, in-store or online? Each one has its pros and cons. You can see and feel the mattress in a showroom. But online retailers cut out the middlemen and pass off saving to customers. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for discounts or a trial period.
Set a budget and stick to it
Mattresses are expensive. You’d spend roughly $2,000 for a decent king-sized bed. However, it is a worthwhile investment since you spend a third of your life in bed.
Comparison shop
Consumer Reports tested 12 mattresses from leading companies. The test showed that the expensive beds weren't all top-notch while the cheaper ones aren't always inferior. So don’t pay too much attention to brand names.
Focus on comfort
The key to a restful night’s sleep relies on a comfortable mattress. Consider the size and comfort level.
