When it comes to getting a restful night's sleep, you must have the proper mattress. However, if it's time to replace yours, you might feel overwhelmed by the options available, which includes everything from hypoallergenic to memory foam mattresses. Below, learn more about how to ask questions that'll lead you to the best bed for your needs.

What You Need to Know When Mattress Shopping

Does the mattress hold heat?

Depending on the material your mattress is made of, it may hold more or less heat. If getting warm during the night interrupts your sleep, select mattresses that have cooling properties, such as multiple layers, gel memory foam, and cooling covers.

Does it offer motion separation?

If you share your bed with a loved one, motion separation is essential. As the name suggests, these memory foam mattresses prevent the transfer of movement and vibration from one side to the other. They conform closely to the body to keep one partner's tossing and turning from disturbing the other throughout the night.

What material is best?

Mattresses are available in both natural and synthetic materials, each of which offers their own advantages. Memory foam is a synthetic material that contours to the body. On the other hand, latex mattresses are made from natural materials, which prevents them from getting too hot at night. If you have allergies or asthma, select a hypoallergenic mattress that'll repel harmful microbes.

Does it come with a warranty?

If your new mattress doesn't suit your body or becomes damaged, you must have warranty coverage. Ask your retailer if your bed comes with an agreement and how long it lasts to ensure you're protected.
