1 – You don’t need to physically try out a mattress. In fact often going about it this way means you miss vital research and information required to choose a suitable mattress. A 15 second session lying on a showroom bed won’t give you a good indication of the comfort, durability or structure of the mattress.
2- Gather your requirements for your new mattress first, to really understand what you need it to provide you with and any weight considerations, especially if its a shared bed.
3 – Do your research before you set off to an online retailer or retail shop. You’re unlikely to get the level of information you require from sales staff.
4 – Be wary of Sale signs, especially given the recent office of fair trading enquiry into misleading RRP prices and sales of retailers. Do you feel the bed your looking at ever was worth the RRP? Your requirements should come first and then budget close second, a perceived good deal is not a good buy if its not the right bed for you!
5 – Ask ‘what does that mean?’ don’t just take some ones word for it. If you’re given product details query what that means for you in terms of comfort, durability and support in the mattress. What is the density, depth and construction method of these Memory foams or Latex layers? If you feel uncertain then trust your instinct!
