How to Choose the Perfect Mattress for Your Sleep Style

Now that you have a beautiful bedroom set, selecting the right mattress is essential for a good nights sleep. The perfect mattress can give you the right support, help you maintain proper spinal alignment and distribute your weight evenly to reduce pressure on your body. Sleeping on the right mattress can help reduce pain so you can be more productive when you wake up.

It is a good idea to choose a mattress that is hypoallergenic and resists dust mites and mold. People who share their bed with a partner may also want a mattress that provides reduced motion transfer. A durable mattress is an investment that lasts and can save you money in the long run.

Here are some practical guidelines to find the perfect mattress and get a good nights sleep. Once you narrow down your choices, it is a good idea to try them out to see which one suits you best.

1. Know Your Mattress Size

Mattresses come in a range of sizes, from narrow twin sizes to full, queen, king and California king. Check out this chart to find the right size to fit your needs. If you are buying a new bedroom set, your bed is likely to take a queen size mattress.

California king - 72" x 84"

King - 76" x 80"

Queen - 60" x 80"

Full - 54" x 75"

Twin - 39" x 75"

2. Consider Your Sleeping Position

Think about your sleeping position to determine the right firmness for your mattress. If you are a side sleeper, choose a medium to medium-soft mattress. A medium or medium-soft mattress can provide contouring that can help relieve pressure on the hips and shoulders.

If you tend to sleep on your back, choose a medium or medium-firm mattress that will offer both support and cushioning for proper spinal alignment. People who sleep on their stomach can choose a medium-firm to firm mattress that aligns the spine and prevents sinkage.

3. Think About Your Body Weight

Your body weight can affect how much support you need from your new mattress. People with an average weight can benefit from a medium-firm mattress that will balance support and comfort. If your weight is less than average, choose a softer mattress for contouring and pressure relief. Heavier than average people may need more support from a firm mattress to prevent sinking.

4. Choose the Right Mattress Type

Today you can find a range of materials that affect the firmness and feel of the mattress. Popular innerspring mattresses have a coil system that usually provides a firm feel, while memory foam and latex mattresses offer various firmness levels.
