What to Look For When Buying a Mattress
Choosing a mattress can feel overwhelming, but focusing on a few key features makes the decision a lot easier. Here are some of the top things to keep in mind when shopping online or in-store.
Material Type
Foam, latex, hybrid, and innerspring mattresses all feel different. Foam contours more; coils add bounce and airflow. Understand the pros and cons before choosing.
Trial Period & Return Policy
Online brands typically offer 90 to 120-night trials with free returns. This gives you time to truly test the mattress at home — a big advantage over in-store trials.
Delivery & Setup
Many online mattresses come compressed in a box and expand at home. Some brands offer white-glove delivery and old mattress removal for a fee.
Firmness Level
Mattresses come in a range from soft to extra firm. Side sleepers often prefer medium-soft, while back and stomach sleepers usually need more support. Know your sleep position before you buy.
Warranty Coverage
Most quality mattresses come with at least a 10-year warranty. Make sure it covers sagging, defects, and wear — and read the fine print.
