| Q: When should I buy a new mattress? |
A: The industry recommends every 8 to 10 years. Signs that you need a new one include a stained/torn mattress and/or sagging foundation that causes you and your partner to roll together unintentionally. Prior to a sleep set wearing out, your preferences in a mattress may change.
|
| Q: How do I comparison shop when the model names differ from store to store? |
A: You should determine which benefits you want to receive from your new mattress. Knowing basic information about the construction you prefer, based on the benefits that this construction offers, will help you decide which mattress or models suit your personal comfort preference and budget.
|
| Q: How do I know which firmness I need in a mattress? |
A: Firmness is a personal choice. But don't fall for the myth that you need the hardest surface for the best support. A good mattress will evenly distribute your weight and provide proper back support.
|
| Q: My partner tends to move a lot during the night. What type of mattress will help ensure that I am not disturbed by his movements? |
A: Make sure you buy a mattress big enough for both of you. You should also consider a mattress that is specifically designed to diminish the effect of partner movement, like the Simmons Beautyrest* mattress. The patented Contour-Flex* independent-action pocket coils inside the Simmons Beautyrest* mattress respond independently, to minimize movement across the mattress.
|
| Q: What can I do to enhance the lifetime of my mattress? |
A: Rotate your mattress regularly and correctly (with the exception of Non-Flip mattresses). Cover it with a mattress pad and invest in a good quality mattress and foundation.
