Mattress Buying Tips Reviews

My parents owned several bed stores when I was a teenager.  One very common mistake people make when shopping for a new mattress is they do not get on the bed and lay in a position that they would normally sleep.  Maybe it's a little too personal....having a stranger standing at the foot of the bed, talking to you, looking down at you while you are in a vunerable position.  Get dressed for the occasion.  Don't shop when you are wearing a dress or business clothes.  Who can get comfortable with a belt and hard shoes on?  This is one shopping trip you need to plan for. 

1. Find a babysitter. ...

On-line mattress reviews, for the most part, are the same as many other on-line reviews.  Most satisfied consumers don't feel the need to rave about their experience, while the unsatisfied use forums like this to vent their frustrations.  As a veteran in the business, I thought I'd share my experience on a couple of topics.  Hopefully it helps those reading and doing their homework on-line!

1. Warning to those buying pillowtop mattresses.   No matter the brand, or the price of the pillow-top mattress you select, there is a high likelihood that the pillow-top mattress will compress between 1/2...

I recently bought a new mattress set and found it very difficult and confusing.  I don't know much about beds, etc.  So I made sure I did my research so that I knew I wouldn't be getting ripped off and getting the quality for the right price.  Make sure you shop around at other places because you may think all places are the same but they are not.  They will try to trick you into thinking that they have "specially" made beds just for their company but it's not true.  They just have different names for their beds!  Also, I found that if you are working with a mattress company if you find a...

1. Research

I started by deciding what size mattress to purchase. We have been sleeping on a full size bed for many years. As we have traveled; we have had many opportunities to try different sizes of mattresses. We agreed that a king felt too big, we knew the full was too small and the queen size gave us enough room without feeling like we were sleeping in different beds.

Next, I went on-line and looked at different brands and types of mattresses. I compared prices and got a feel for what was in the market. I learned about pillow-top, firm, soft, memory foam and more. I read about split box-springs,...

The Product Everyone Sleeps On

After an 8 hour day at the office, shopping, fixing dinner, washing dishes and watching some television I am ready for a good night's sleep. Comfort and sturdiness are the two key features I look for in a mattress and when I turn over onto my stomach and hug my pillow, I know my dreams are not too far in the distance. 

It is important to take care of your mattress investment by encasing it with a mattress cover designed to keep out dust mites. The fecal matter from dozens of these creatures over the years can add several pounds to your mattress. I feel it is important...

A few years ago we were in the market for a new mattress. We always buy quality brand name products. After researching mattresses on line, we decided to purchase a Simmons BeautyRest mattress with a pillow topper built in.

 If I had it all to do over again I would not choose the pillow topper.

You cannot flip the mattress as I perviously did. This kept the mattress more comfortable and even. My husband weighs more than I do and his side of the bed gets flat quicker.

When you filp the mattress turning it upside down and top to bottom you get more even wear.

All I can do now is rotate the top of the...
