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.
