7 Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Mattress


1. Negotiate. You can – and should – negotiate price on almost all mattresses.

2. Warranty. Most mattresses come with a 10 year warranty. However, this warranty is void if the mattress has even the slightest stain on it. If you want to have a hope of using your mattress warranty at some point it is critical that you purchase a waterproof mattress cover.

3. Size. If you’re extremely tall you will want to consider the california king mattress size. The california king is slightly narrower and taller than the “regular” california mattress. California King Size Mattresses are most commonly used as waterbed replacement mattresses.

4. Coils. Interlocking coil mattresses actually require fewer coils because the coils are tied together with wire. Independent coil mattresses require more coils because each one must work on its own to support you. The benefit of an independent coil mattress is that it is less prone to movement if your partner is getting in and out of bed.

5. Hybrids. Sometimes a hybrid mattress is worth considering. The lines between the different types of mattresses have blurred in recent years with the advent of innerspring mattresses with memory foam, innerspring futon mattresses, and innerspring mattresses that have water chambers inside them.

6. Budget. Mattresses are very expensive – it will typically cost you at least $800 for a decent mattress & box spring combo and many people spend $2,000 on a bed. As you test different mattresses you will undoubtedly notice that the more expensive the mattress, the more comfortable it feels. Mattress salesmen love to use the “this will last you ten years so it will really only cost you fifty cents a night to sleep on this $3,000 mattress”. If the sales person won’t take your offer go somewhere else.

7. Brand. Inexpensive mattresses are often cheaper because corners have been cut somewhere in the manufacturing process whether it’s the coils, the foam, the cotton batting, or the actual construction of the mattress itself. If you can afford it, you’ll likely get more miles out of a name brand mattress.
