Do your Homework. The first step in finding the best mattress for you is to find out as much as you can. Most manufacture are offering buyer’s guides with specific product information like coil count, type of padding used, type of coils, and other product details in their website. Know enough so you’re armed with the idea on what to look for when you step into the store.
One thing to keep in mind is that if the shop’s offer is too good to be true, it probably is. Be careful of advertising stunts, like claims that a mattress is “orthopedic” or “medically-approved”. Exercise your judgment when determining whether extra features are worth it.
Only buy mattress at dealers that have a good reputation and has been around for a long time. Consider the customer service that they offer like delivery options, warranty, disposal of old mattresses to be replaced, and the return policy. It is important that the store allows customers to return a mattress if they are not satisfied with the quality after sleeping on it ...
... for at least a month.
Look for Quality. Always check for quality. Lift up the corners of the mattresses to feel the weight. How well a mattress will hold up in the long run is proportionate to how heavy it is. A heavier mattress will be more likely to contain more coils made with heavier gauge wire, the trademark of a quality mattress.
You must feel comfortable on your mattress. Don’t hesitate to lie on the mattress at the shop for a few minutes as you would lie on it in your home. Some even bring their pillows when shopping for a new mattress. If you are sleeping with a partner, both of you should test it at the same time. This is to make sure both of you have enough space are comfortable.
Read the Fine Print. Don’t hesitate to ask the salesman questions and request written product information. Most take everything the salesperson say at face value without even verifying if it’s true or not. Be an educated shopper.
Make sure to also read the contract, the store’s refund policy and the warranty. There are many cases where customers are refused refund or exchange after taking the word of the salesperson on returns. Make sure that contract contains in writing whatever terms you have agreed or not agreed on.
