2 Easy Steps to Choosing Your Mattress


Executive summary about mattress by John Lewis

1. Try before you buy

It is important to test the mattress on your chosen bedstead in order to ensure they achieve your desired comfort level.

2. Match mattress to base

If you already have a bedstead in good condition you may only need a mattress. However, if you have a divan, a new mattress alone won’t give you the full benefit. Divans act as bases for mattresses and either have springs which allow the mattress to adapt to the body's contours, or a solid top which provides firmer support.

4 mattress mysteries

1. Why do mattresses cost so much?

In a furniture store, for example, the margins are usually higher for mattresses than any other product. Mainstream innerspring mattress sets from major brands carry gross profit margins of 30 to 40 percent each for wholesalers and retailers.

2. Are those really cheap mattresses advertised in store ads worth considering?

Stores use promotional mattresses to draw customers in and upsell them to a fancier model.

3. How can someone return a defective mattress?

Call the retailer where you bought it. An estimated 5 percent to 8 percent of new big-brand mattresses are returned either because the mattress was defective, damaged in delivery, or just plain uncomfortable.

4. What's the difference between the warranty and comfort guarantee?

A warranty covers manufacturing defects, while a comfort guarantee allows dissatisfied consumers the opportunity to exchange a mattress if it doesn't live up to expectations, typically within 21 to 100 days. The Select Comfort warranty was prorated after a few years, and the Tempur-Pedic was prorated after 10. Prorating refers to a warranty that covers less and less of the original purchase price the longer you've owned the mattress. If your mattress is stained, that could also void the warranty.
