The pillow-top mattresses become flat and lose their fluffiness over time, especially if you are heavy. Also, they don’t support your body if you have a lower BMI, and your body may ache in the morning.
So, if you want to add fluffiness, instead of buying a pillow top, you can invest in a luxurious bed sheet or mattress topper.
Try before you buy
It seems awkward, but yes, you should always try a new mattress before buying it. After all, you intend to use it for a long time. Don’t feel hesitant to lie down, stretch out your body, and roll from side to side to check the firmness level that supports your pressure point points. If you feel dents, they should go for a firmer mattress. The sleeping position also matters while selecting a mattress. Try the following mattresses according to your sleeping position.
- Side sleepers: softer Mattress
- Stomach sleepers: firmer Mattress
- Back sleepers: firmest Mattress
If you share your bed with your partner, both of you should try the Mattress. In case you are buying online, only opt for those online stores that offer a trial period of a minimum of one month and offer a refund if you don’t like the picked model. You should spend 10 minutes on a mattress to check the firmness level of the Mattress.
Save money if you don’t need Box Spring.
Some mattress companies offer spring boxes along with a mattress. So if your old bed foundation is not broken, you can avoid it and save money. However, if your old bed frame is not in good condition, it is a good option to buy a box spring at a discounted price.
Return Policy and Trial Period
Whether you buy online or from brick and mortar store, the trial is essential. Because mattresses are expensive and you don’t buy them more often.
- $600 and below: Average Mattress
- Around $600 to $1,200: Good Mattress
- Around $1,200 to $1,600: Affordable luxury
- Around $1,600 and up: Luxury
If you tried the Mattress in the store, it is not enough. The actual trial takes a whole night, week, or month. If the mattress provider charges you a fee for a trial period, it is wise to give trial fees and complete your trial period to check the quality of the Mattress.
Discuss the return policy before bringing the Mattress for trial as well.
