Quality mattresses promote restful sleep, prevent discomfort, and may improve your quality of life. When the time comes to shop for a new mattress, pay attention to details like materials, comfort, and price. At the same time, avoid common pitfalls that could keep you from buying the right product. Here are a few of those mistakes and how to prevent them.

4 Mistakes When Shopping for Mattresses

1. Only Considering Price

Buying a new bed is a significant investment. To keep costs reasonable, you might feel tempted to go for the cheapest model. However, basing your decision on price alone may result in getting an uncomfortable mattress with a short life expectancy, which defeats the purpose of the original low cost.

2. Relying Too Heavily on Reviews

While reading reviews of mattresses and asking for advice from loved ones will certainly provide valuable information, don’t base your decision on these details entirely. Everyone has unique preferences and requirements when it comes to sleeping, so temper the opinions of others with your own research and testing.

3. Falling Prey to Brand Bias

There are several popular brands of mattresses, which you’ve likely seen in advertisements. However, just because a brand is a household name doesn’t automatically make it reliable or right for your needs. Give name brands and lesser-known beds equal chances as you browse the market.

4. Testing Too Many

Testing firmness in-store is essential for getting a sense of the way the materials feel and conform to your body. At the same time, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by testing too many. Stay organized and simplify the process by testing by group; focus on firm, medium, and soft categories one at a time.
