Try A Bed Before You Buy
Not every mattress is created equal, and just because your friend might have a Sleep Number bed (or any other high quality bed) that is working wonders for them, doesn’t mean it will work for you. That is why I advise that before you invest any serious cash into a mattress always test it out first. Even if you then return to buy from the internet in order to find the best deals.
Many mattress companies know that customers might not be interested in gambling on a $600-$3000 investment, and at such they will gladly offer you up to 90 day home trials. It is in your best interest to take advantage of these as you can never be sure what your ideal bed is until you have tested it for yourself.
How often should you change your mattress?
This is a question many people ask. There are a lot of variables to consider but as a general rule of thumb most mattresses might need to be changed every 3-5 years. Especially for cheap mattresses where you can expect to change them during their third or forth year. For higher end mattresses you can expect to use them for many years longer, especially for some of the top of the range memory foam mattress models, like the Tempurpedic mattress range.
Generally you will be able to tell that your mattress needs changing by examining it. If you notice odd formations of springs or the spring feel creaky and old, it is about time you start looking for a new one. Also, the corners of the mattress may sag or there may be a dip where you or your partner have been lying. If you don’t feel the need to go the extent of buying a new mattress, then something like a memory foam mattress topper might be ideal.
