1. Be sure to purchase the correct size for a couple.  The full size or standard (as sometimes called) is 54” wide and the width of two baby bed mattresses.  This is not adequate amount of space for two adults to sleep comfortably without disturbing each other.  Queen size (60” x 80”) is presently the most popular size of bedding because of size and price.  A King size (76” x 80”) will make significant improvements for a couple in their quality of sleep.

2. Try to bring your sleeping partner with you so both of you can select the perfect mattress.

3. Try the bed by lying in the position you normally go to sleep in.

4. Try several different firmnesses.

5. If you have a back or spine problem, you need to express this to the salesperson.  Certain coil systems or all foam systems can be recommended for this condition.

6. Another question we often get is “Does a high priced bed give you a better sleeping quality?”  This is not necessarily so.  Please remember the reality is that comfort is an individual perception.  A soft expensive mattress may be uncomfortable if you like a firm mattress.  Do not buy a bed because of the label or brand.  Bedding designs have changed over the years within the same brand name.

7. Narrow your bed selection down to 3 sets and try each bed for 5-10 minutes each.  Do not make a hasty decision.

8. Buy from a store that can offer follow-up services.

9. If changing size of bedding from a full to queen using your existing headboard, footboard, and frame…remember queen sets require center support to the floor.  Wooden slats are not recommended for mattress sets designed today. We have appropriate metal systems that are designed for todays beds.

10. Remember your pillow!  Although you have purchased a new bed set, if you do not use a pillow that adequately supports your neck, then your mattress may not perform the way you want it to.
