Tips for Buying a New Mattress

If you’re waking up with aches and pains, tossing and turning at night, having trouble falling asleep, or you wake up feeling lethargic and tired, it might be time for a new mattress. Buying a mattress is a big investment and choosing the right mattress can be tough. There are a lot of different options available when you’re looking for the perfect mattress.

Here are our top 5 tips for finding a mattress that will help you sleep well and live well. 

1. Know what size and kind of mattress you want. When it’s time to get a new mattress it’s a good time to evaluate if the mattress size you currently have is still suitable. If you feel like you’re hugging the edge of the bed at night because you have kids or pets that also sleep with you, it might be time to get a bigger mattress. It’s also important to have in mind if you want an innerspring mattress, memory foam mattress, hybrid mattress, or an adjustable mattress set. Knowing what type of mattress will work best for your sleep needs will help make the buying process easier.

2. Do your own research. Look at reviews for the mattresses that you’re interested in. See what other people are saying. It’s good to read a mix of reviews so you can have a good understanding of why people gave the reviews they did. It’s also a good idea to ask for recommendations online. Go on your social media accounts and ask your friends and family what they think. You might have someone with a similar situation who can give you good information on what mattress they have and why they love it.

3. Don’t just order online. Make sure you go to a store, (Mattress Hub has 13 locations across Kansas!) and test out the mattresses you have in mind. The firmness of a mattress is subjective, and each mattress will be different so try out a variety to make sure you’re going to be happy with your purchase. Take your time on each mattress, and make sure you’re going to be comfortable. Try laying on the mattress how you would normally sleep to ensure you’re going to get the comfort and support you want.

4. Make sure you know the trial period, return policies, and warranties for the store and mattress. Your local Mattress Hub has our famous one-year comfort guarantee, so you have peace of mind that you’re happy with your sleep investment, and every mattress in our stores is accompanied by a manufacturer’s warranty. Another thing to consider is the delivery options. Oftentimes a mattress won’t fit in your car, especially if you’re getting a California King mattress. We offer free delivery in the state of Kansas, and you can choose from our basic delivery where we just drop your mattress off, or our premium delivery where we can get your mattress to you, set it up, and haul off your old one and you don’t have to lift a finger!

5. Find the best time to buy a mattress. There’s always a best time for everything, and buying a mattress isn’t any different. As you’re doing your research, make sure you check out what sales or specials are running so you can get the best deal on the best mattress for your sleeping needs.
