2014-05-30T19:19:00.001-07:00

Mattress prices seem to get higher and higher and new Bells and Whistles, and you may be like me and wonder when someone is going to offer Lease options, purchase options, and Rebates!

Mattresses are being made from an endless number of materials, craftsmanship, and details to make them stand out. You have Latex, Gels, Memory Foam, Springs, Pocketed Coils, and Yes, even Air. These are the options, here is one with shiny wheels, if your too tired to drive, push this button....I laugh now, but you never know what will be out next week. The Mattress Business reminds me of the Car Business for some reason.

Enough for humoring myself, I am supposed to give you tips to save money on over priced mattresses. Believe me, Mattress Stores want your business and they may not be as pushy as Car Salesmen, but they really do not want you to shop down the street.

I am going to give you the best tip ever on saving money on your next Mattress. Go to your local mattress store and find the Mattress that you like, then go home or get online and research prices online. Many companies ship Mattresses and if you live in another state, you pay no tax, and the online retailer realizes that they have one shot and will not play around.

Once you get your lowest price on the mattress of your dreams, you can even give your local dealer a chance to match their price. Many local retailers will be more than happy to oblige.

Are Latex Mattresses Dangerous for Children?

2014-05-10T12:18:00.000-07:00

Latex Mattresses could be dangerous for Children, not because of Allergies, but for another little thought about concern for Latex Mattresses. Children Love to jump on beds and Latex Mattresses can act like trampolines when jumped on because of their rubbery consistency.

Yes, Latex has contouring ability to alleviate the worst of back pains. Yes, Latex Mattresses are more resilient than any of its competing materials so is expected to last longer. Yes, Latex is antimicrobial and dust mite resistant. Yes, if your kids jump on your Latex Mattress, You may have to pull them out of your ceiling!!!

Latex Mattresses have a springy quality far greater than innersprings. Maybe kids don't jump on beds anymore and without a doubt, they shouldn't, but especially around this "trampoline like" material. Latex has become more popular than ever since many have found its conforming qualities and especially its heat dissipating ability, but just a little caution around the children or husbands who tend to act like children....

Mattress Complaints!

2014-02-19T10:52:00.001-08:00

Mattress Complaints can be found scattered around the Web much like other useful and sometimes abusive material. You can pull up any Mattress company and find complaints, simply type the Manufacturer followed by the word "Complaint". Sealy "Mattress Complaint", Serta Mattress Complaint, Tempurpedic Mattress Complaint, and By NO MEANS am I picking on these 3 companies because ALL companies have Complaints, these 3 are the largest so just easy to remember.

I Tell you about Mattress Complaints for a Reason, We should take these complaints with a grain of salt. Here is 4 Quick reasons why we should consider Mattress Complaints, but not totally rely on them.

1. Customers lie on mattress companies when they may work for the competition. Believe me it happens!

2. The 2nd reason we should not rely on Mattress Complaints is because Mattress Buying is Subjective! Meaning, You may like one that I hate and vice versa.

3. 3rd Reason is because some people cannot be satisfied, period, there I said it! Yes its true and you know who you are. Just because it is not Exactly like you thought it would be, that is no reason to Complain like its the worst thing you have ever felt. Done.

4. 4th Reason to lighten the impact of Mattress Complaints is because if we said we would not buy any that had a Bad Review, We would NEVER buy! ALL Mattresses have bad reviews if they sold any numbers at all.

These 4 Mattress Complaint examples show you how there could be flaws in solely relying on Online Complaints. It is a step in buying a mattress that we should consider, but do not give it so much weight that it consumes your buying process.

Mattress Warranty Assistance

2013-01-24T20:07:00.001-08:00

What does a Mattress Warranty Cover? Most all Mattresses come with a Warranty and the Mattress Warranty can be very valuable if you have a problem.

Most Mattresses are trouble free, but what if your Mattress started sagging. This can be a Warranty issue and entitle you to a new Mattress. Most companies offer a Mattress Warranty that covers a Mattress if it is sagging over 1 1/2 inches, but newer mattresses are being covered with sags over 3/4 of an inch. This is because mattress companies are using materials that are more resilient like Latex and Memory Foam.

Remember a few things that will ensure your Mattress Warranty covers any problems you may have. First, you want to purchase a Mattress Protector to keep your Mattress clean as this is the first thing that void your Warranty. Any soiling or even a water spot will void your Mattress Warranty. The second thing, do you remember when you were told that it was against the law to remove the Law Label from your Mattress. Well, it is not against the law, but it will void your Mattress Warranty if the law label is removed because it provides valuable information like when the Mattress was manufactured and what store received the Mattress.

Remember if you have a problem with your Mattress and want to see if your Mattress is covered under the warranty, visit or call the retailer where you purchased your Mattress. Be sure and ask about the Warranty when you purchase your Mattress. Some Mattress Warranties are pro-rated which means the amount of coverage diminishes over the length of the Mattress Warranty. The best Mattress Warranty is one that is Non Pro-Rated.

Buy Mattress Online; Cheap Online Mattresses

2012-12-15T09:09:00.000-08:00

Its time for a New Mattress and you are asking the question, can I Buy a Mattress Online and can I find the Mattress Cheaper Online? The biggest question Mattress buyers have is, can they trust an online company when buying a mattress. Here are 5 tips to save you heartache and Money when Buying a Mattress Online.

1. Make sure you have looked at the Mattress at a local store so you know how the Mattress is going to feel. Do not call and tell the store what kind you would like. Everyone has different comfort levels and this is one item, you HAVE to feel before buying, especially buying online.

2. After you have chosen the Mattress you like, it is time to do some online research. Check out what others are saying about the mattress and get unbiased opinions. Make sure this is a quality Mattress, even go to the Mattress makers site to check the warranty. There are some great sites online for unbiased reviews of mattresses, like www.sleeplikethedead.com

3. After you have researched the Mattress, it is time to find the company's that sell the Mattress and see who has the best offers or Cheapest Online Price for your Mattress of choice. You can just Google your mattress name and the maker of the Mattress to find dealers. There will most likely be some in the paid search area which will be at the top of the page and down the right border of search results.

4. Buy Mattress Online! No, not yet. You then must do some research on the companies that are offering the mattress for sale. Check reviews online about the company and make sure there are no complaints. Check the BBB of the Company to make sure there are no complaints. You also want to email the company or multiple companies to see who has the best offer. There may be some companies that throw in pillows, mattress protectors, etc. when you buy your mattress online.

5. You must determine if price is more important or freebies thrown in are more important. If you care nothing about pillow and such, tell the company to take the pillow amount off the price of your mattress and that you just want a Cheap Online Mattress Deal. If you can have a specific request, it is best. Something like, I will buy the mattress online, if......the price is X amount or if you throw in a pillow I will buy the mattress at specified price. Make it a definite sale if the store will do xyz. This gives motivation to make a decision. You will be surprised at the price you can buy a mattress online when you give it a shot.

Mattress stores and even companies are eager to sell Mattresses online because its from a customer that they would not otherwise have. You could be 3 states away and never would step foot into the store you are shopping online. This is what Mattress stores should consider as plus business and should be more willing to cut the price and sell you a mattress cheap online. One thing to consider, if you buy online, there is not usually a trial period to try a mattress because of the shipping involved. You can figure it is probably a couple hundred dollars to ship a mattress that you would be out if you shipped it back. Mattress stores and companies are usually able to eat this delivery and still offer you a better price online because of the markup in mattresses. You can usually find Cheap Online Mattresses! Good luck and let me know how much you save on your online mattress purchase.

What Does Mattress Coil Count Mean?

2012-12-13T12:49:00.002-08:00

What does Mattress Coil Count Mean? Mattress Coil Counts have been a measure of how well a Mattress was made. The more coils in the Mattress, the better it is. Right? Well maybe we need to investigate further.

Mattress Coil Counts have been a way for manufacturers to say, Ours is better because it has more coils. But, to fit more coils into a mattress, they usually have to be made out of a smaller gauge wire. Coil quality is determined by the gauge, tempering and how tightly wound the coils are.

Springs will usually not last as long as some of the newer materials that mattresses are being made. Among the newer materials are Memory Foam, Latex, and Foams. These materials are more resilient and usually offer better wear over longer periods of time. Mattresses with coils usually are accompanied by 10 year warranties at most where newer foams are offering 15, 20, and even 25 year warranties.

Inner Spring mattresses or Coil mattresses are cheaper to make and thus cost you much less. The question is, which mattress can you afford and what is the length of time you would like it to last. Coil mattresses usually need to be replaced at the 6-8 year mark in my experience depending on many factors. There are some coil inner spring mattresses that are made better and last longer, but may depend on how you take care of them, the weight of persons sleeping on them, etc.

If you have decided to buy an innerspring coil mattress, do not get hung up on coil count. This is a term that gets thrown around, but few really know what it means. Pick a reputable mattress maker and a reputable store to take care of you. Remember, if you have a problem with the mattress, let the store you purchased it from know immediately.

Select Comfort Sleep Number Review

2012-12-13T09:55:00.001-08:00

Select Comfort and the Sleep Number bed probably has one of the best advertising campaigns in the history of selling mattresses. When the guy says, "when you go into other mattress stores and they say firm bed over there-soft beds over there."

They have great advertising and have to have some of the best salespeople in the industry. I can hear the interview now.

Question from interviewer for sleepnumber salesman- Ok, so sell me this ink pen and tell me why i should buy it from you.

Answer-Well, this ink pen uses ink that has a gradient of W when it comes to reading. It is the highest gloss of any pen on the market and will actually save your eyes from fatigue. The contoured grip actually massages your hand and will make it feel more relaxed.

Ok, Ok, stop. Your hired.

All kidding aside, there are sleep number customers that will buy nothing else. It is a great concept that you can select your comfort level when sleeping and your partner can pick theirs. To my knowledge, they are the only bed on the market that has that ability.

Do you or anyone you know own a sleepnumber bed? If so, tell us how you feel about it or how your friends feel about it. Do you like the sleep number or is it a waste of money? Give us your thoughts so maybe someone else can benefit from your comments.

Who Makes The Best Mattress?

2012-12-08T11:32:00.000-08:00

Who Makes The Best Mattress? This is a question like, who is going to win the Superbowl next year? It is a question that gets answered often, but it is true speculation.

The Best Mattress for me, may not be the best mattress for you. Everyone has a different body type and prefer different comfort levels. This is why it is so important to take a good test drive at the mattress store. They are all set up for a reason. If they did not want you to try them out, they would have them standing in the corner with the plastic still on them.

Try the mattress in each body position. Lie on your side, back, stomach, and stay in each position for at least a few minutes. Many of todays mattresses conform slowly and may take a few minutes to get the true affect of such comfort.

Dont be afraid to ask the Mattress salesman or saleslady which they prefer? Some will pick the most expensive, but most of the time, they will know which has the best customer satisfaction. They do want you to be happy with your mattress as they could lose their commission if the mattress comes back. Take your time and make sure you ask plenty of questions so you get the proper fit for your body type.

WOMEN Control MATTRESS Market!!!

2012-11-26T15:19:00.000-08:00

Mattress trends seem to be changing toward the end of 2012 going into the year 2013. Early 2012 was how comfortable can you make my mattress and how long can you warranty it for. The later part of the year and going forward into the 2013 calender year seems to be more of an aesthetic design and how cool can you make my mattress, And while you are at it, how long is my warranty?

If you look at Mattress Trends into late 2012, they are going to continental zip covers, stay away from pillow tops. They are looking like more clean designs with fancy covers, even different motifs woven into covers. I know, they will never be seen with the sheets on the bed, but you have to do something to give your mattress an edge inside the mattress gallery. Why the clean, fancy designs? You guessed it! WOMEN are buying the mattresses or at least have a significant role in the mattress that is chosen. We are seeing a mattress industry that is catering to what women want.

What do women want in a Mattress? Women want a smooth, clean, design. Yes, they want it to look pretty too! Women understand that the big pillow tops are the cause of many body impressions, thus the trend away from them. Women want a good solid warranty, just in case. They are also concerned about heat, so make it cool while you are at it. DONT forget Hypoallergenic.

This is why you are seeing and will see more mattresses made of Latex. Latex is a cooler material, Hypoallergenic, and keeps its shape over time. You are seeing more beds that are advertising cooler mattresses. You saw it first with Serta's I-Comfort series of Cool mattresses. Now you are seeing all the key words; Cool Gel, Moisture Wicking, Climate Control, Cool Comfort. Tempurpedic has jumped into the coolest game with the development of their version of a cool mattress, The Cloud Supreme Breeze. You will see more by the end of the year.

Mattress trends are ever evolving and Mattress makers are taking the right steps to satisfy women. Car manufacturers have known about this for years and have been advertising to women for at least 10 years so it stands to reason that Mattress Manufacturers would follow.

2012-08-02T21:10:00.001-07:00

Jamison Mariott or Resort collection is a Mattress that is found in some of the finest hotels and Resorts in the Southeast.

Jamison bedding does little National advertising so may not be so familiar, but is the oldest continually family owned Mattress Company celebrating 129 years in business. One of Jamison's crowning jewels has been the Mariott Resort Bed.

The Resort Collection by Jamison is made of Omalon Foam which is a foam that is pre-compressed to reduce body impressions over time. The Resort Bed is the entry level into the Mattress collection, but this Mariott core is used in most all of Jamison's premium Mattresses as the support layer.

This Resort or Mariott Core has been tried and tested and holds up very well as a support layer is the mattress.

This support layer is what wears down and causes dips in your mattress.

If you are looking to buy a Jamison Mattress, rest assured that you have one of the best support layers in the Mattress Industry.

How Often Do I Need To Flip My Mattress?

2012-07-10T10:35:00.001-07:00

How often do I need to flip my mattress? This is a common question among mattress owners and a valid question.

Flipping a Mattress will help prolong the life of the Mattress and decrease the potential of the valleys that come with age. This is the argument of Mattress companies that still offer flippable mattresses, but does it really help to flip a Mattress?

Mattresses are becoming one sided for an expense reason, but I believe there is more to it than that. I can understand rotating a mattress from top to bottom because it will switch the side that your partner will sleep on. This is important, especially if your partner weighs more than you. But, think about flipping a mattress over. My thoughts is that the mattress is giving on one side and when you flip it over, you cause the other side to start giving and eventually causing this curvature in the mattress. Maybe this was a way for mattress companies to get us to come back more often, but I believe a flippable mattress is not a good thing.

It stands to reason that a one sided mattress with a good support layer at the bottom of the mattress would be best. I am not a mattress engineer, but this seems that it would make the mattress last longer and cause less dipping. What are your thoughts on flipping a mattress?

MATTRESS FIRM or SOFT?

2012-07-07T20:06:00.002-07:00

Mattress Firm or soft? This is what many customers ask when at Mattress Firm and many other Mattress Stores across the country. My answer is always the same. Do you prefer a firm Mattress? Or a soft Mattress?

The Mattress firmness is the comfort layer that you prefer. There is not a magic firmness chart that says you will not have back pain if your Mattress is this Firm. This is your comfort layer. Your support layer needs to be good to make sure you do not have back pain. The support layer will be good on all new mattresses starting out. This is the layer that breaks down over time and starts causing you problems. So whether your support layer is inner springs, latex, or memory foam, make sure you change your mattress out before the support layer wears out.

Some Mattress Buyers prefer Inner Spring Mattresses. Inner Springs have been around forever and are not a bad choice when selecting your new sleep system. Avoid the conversation with the sales associate about how many coils. Coil Count is one of those items that is not all that important because different mattresses will have different guage wire when coiling the springs. There are many different factors when figuring coils, my opinion is to pick one that is comfortable.

Do not get so hung up on the inner workings of a Mattress that you dont look at the most important thing, is it comfortable? So, whether you look for soft, firm, or in between, make sure it is comfortable to you.

Mattress Buying Tips and Reviews

2012-07-07T09:41:00.000-07:00

Mattress Buying can be a daunting process, but with the right information, you can pick a Mattress that will give you many years of quality sleep. There are a few questions to ask yourself before you go shopping for a New Mattress.

What Mattress Size do you need?
Mattresses come in many sizes and can affect the way you sleep. If you and your partner toss and turn, you may want to consider a king size set to allow room to move around. Being too cramped on a smaller Mattress can cause you to wake more often and not sleep as well. Here are the Mattress Sizes that are standard, no matter what company you are shopping.
Twin-
39" wide x 75" long
Full-
54" wide x 75" long
Queen-
60" wide x 80" long
King-
76" wide x 80" long

What is Your Mattress Budget?
When thinking of a budget to spend on your New Mattress, realize that Mattresses can start in the hundred of dollars to well into the thousands. There will be some quality choices in every price range, but some of the newer technologies and more popular companies can be quite expensive.

What is your Comfort Level?
It sounds cliche, but if you have been shopping for a Mattress, I am sure you have heard the question. Do you want soft or firm? This is an important question, but Consider this before you answer. Many Mattress customers feel they need a firm Mattress because they have a bad back. the fact is, they need more support than their current Mattress is giving. You have a comfort layer in a Mattress which is how firm or soft the Mattress feels. But, there is a support layer under the comfort layer, whether it be inner spring, latex, memory foam, or whatever the company uses to support their comfort layer. You may not need as firm a Mattress as what you may think.

What Company Interests me?
There are many Mattress Manufacturers to consider, there are the "S" brands like Serta, Sealy, Simmons, there is your Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam, Select Comfort, and countless other smaller manufacturers that make a great product. My suggestion, dont get too caught up in the company unless you have just read terrible reviews because they all used similar materials and processes in making their mattresses. Something to consider, these larger well known companies are well known because of their national advertising. This advertising is expensive and guess who pays for it? You guessed it, it has to be passed along with the prices of these mattresses.

Does the Mattress come with a Comfort Guarantee?
Just about all of your name brand mattresses come with some sort of Comfort Guarantee. This gives you a chance to swap the mattress for another selection within a given time period, usually 30-90 days. There may be a restocking fee, but it would be worth it to make sure you are going to be happy with the mattress you selected.

Does the Mattress have a Warranty?
Again, most name brand mattresses are going to have a warranty, but make sure it is a non-prorated warranty. This means that it is 100% protected for the number of year warranty. Mattress warranties will cover body impressions and you never know when you may have to take advantage of such warranty. I have heard of bad batches of foams that caused body impressions in many of the same model mattress.

These are just a few Mattress Buying Tips and Reviews that will get you started in the right direction of sleeping better which is the ultimate goal. The one suggestion I have is to buy a Mattress Protector to cover your mattress because any stain could void your warranty. Also, realize when shopping for your new mattress that many retailers carry the same mattress, but it may have a different name. If you have 2 retailers in a close proximaty, the company will change covers and names so that shoppers cannot price shop as much. This is done so that mattress companies can sell more accounts for a given area.

Comparing The Best Latex Mattress To Memory Foam Mattress

2012-07-05T13:57:00.001-07:00

Comparing the Best Latex Mattress to a Memory Foam Mattress
Comparing the Best Latex Mattress to a Memory Foam Mattress
By Josh G. Harding
There are a number of fine mattresses on the market nowadays, however the 2 that set themselves above the others are memory foam and latex mattresses. Selecting between the 2 can be a hard job, however by learning the facts and perusing some memory foam and latex mattress reviews your selection will be made simpler. Some individuals might be of the opinion that they can not afford such a prime quality mattress as a result of their prohibitive prices. However, when viewing prices in a very different manner it can make things a lot more clear.
Most individuals have a budget in mind before they go looking for a bed, however there's probably a better approach. For example, if you opt to pay no more than $1,000 you will not be able to purchase the best latex mattress that might cost $2,000 or more. If you pay your $1,000 for a bed that only lasts 10 years your annual cost will be $100. However, if you pay $2,000 to get a comfy latex mattress with a lifespan of 30 years your cost will be just $67 for each year. The higher priced latex bed can actually be more affordable over the long term. Plus, you will be slumbering on a better more comfy bed.
Once you decide what your budget is, or what you're willing to pay on a yearly basis, you want to look for the mattress that will provide the most comfort. This is most often a result of the density of the bed. The denser the mattress the firmer it feels. Density is measured as the indentation load deflection, additionally referred to as the ILD.
The best latex mattress is typically given a rating of around 4 ILD or less whereas memory foam is typically 5 ILD or greater which makes it firmer than latex. Latex on the other hand is still very firm, but has that additional bounce to it that makes it feel softer. And although it's not as stiff as memory foam it nevertheless provides great support.
The big reason why memory foam is so fashionable is because it has the distinctive ability to adapt to the curves of the human body. As an individual's body heat warms up the foam it starts to soften and conform to the shape of the body. This spreads the body weight over a bigger area of the mattress that consequently reduces the magnitude of pressure on any particular area of the body. People suffering from lower back pain can many times reduce their discomfort as a result of this effect. On the other hand, memory foam holds onto heat that can make the mattress feel too warm for some folks. These mattresses can last as many as 15 years.
Latex foam is additionally firm and supportive, however has an additional bounce to it. The latex mattress is very comfortable as a result of the little holes, referred to as pin core holes, drilled into the bedding. These pin core holes can differ in size, however the bigger the pin core holes are the softer the latex gets. In fact, specialists inform us that the bigger the holes are, the higher quality the mattress. The pin core holes enable air to flow through the mattress that not just makes it feel softer, providing a softer and more comfy feel, but provides different benefits as well.
The air circulation reduces friction within the latex that increases its lifespan, which will usually be 30 years or more. It additionally permits it to breathe which keeps the mattress cooler. It's also possible to modify the mattress by creating pin core holes of different sizes in different spots. This permits you to make the bedding softer in some areas whereas remaining denser and firmer in others. Both mattresses are great, however the ultimate call rests within your hands.
Locating the right bedding is often hard, which is why Josh has developed a site where you will have the ability to locate latex mattress reviews together with beneficial ideas for purchasing the best latex mattress or organic latex mattress.

One of the greatest solutions for such problem is the existence of memory foam mattress topper.
This type of topper, consequently developed from the memory foam mattress, has the same benefits that the mattress offers to man. It is also made up of polyurethane and other chemicals which increase the viscosity and density of the topper or bed cover. This provides an open - cell type structure which actually aids in creating a molding effect of the topper in conformity to that of the body contour. With such adaptability feature, one would definitely feel comfortable and well rested. The memory foam mattress topper offers an equal amount of pressure in the areas covered by the body thus preventing the existence of pressure sores. Also, with such comfortable effect and support that this topper provides, it does give a lot of health benefits significantly similar to the memory foam mattress.

Aside from these benefits received under the health department, the topper also is considered to be an innovation which gives man the choice of actually prolonging the lifespan of his or her ordinary mattress. As long as the mattress is not sagging, it could still be used and one should only buy the memory foam bed cover to achieve the same comfort that a mattress of a memory foam type provides. The main difference is that with the memory foam type of mattress the durability of such used exceeds four to five years while the topper would give a short duration of longevity.

Mattress Buying Tips; Top 5 For Mattress Buyers

2012-06-21T13:38:00.002-07:00

Mattress Buying Tips for the confused Mattress Shopper. Lets face it, Mattresses have evolved about as much as cars when it comes to new technology. What happened to the time when you went to buy a Mattress and they said, "you want firm or soft" and that was truly your options.

Mattress Company's are all scampering for top spot and to get there they need the shiniest new model. There are a myriad of choices so which is the best...Air, Water, Cool Gel, Memory Foam, Comfort Gel, Latex, Foams, Inner-Springs, Wrapped Coils, Foam Encased, Layered Foams, Individually Wrapped Coils, Firm Memory Foam, Soft Memory Foam, Tempur Material, and the list goes on and on. If this is not enough, you hear 20% off, 50% off, 99% off, Free Delivery, Remove Old Mattress, Mow Your Lawn...ok, I threw that one in, but you get the idea.

Mattress Buying Tip #1. Your body is the ONLY body that knows the best Mattress for you. What I mean, everyone has a different comfort preference, so I cannot tell you which is best for you. Some customers like Firm Mattresses and some like Soft, some like the feel of the new materials and some prefer traditional Mattresses.

Mattress Buying Tip #2. Make sure the Mattress Company you are dealing with has a Comfort Guarantee. You will see companies offer 30, 60, 90, or even 120 day comfort guarantee's. Make sure you give your new Mattress time before calling the store. It could take up to 30 days for your body to get used to a new Mattress.

Mattress Buying Tip #3. The biggest and best Mattress Buying Tip I can give you is, do not expect too much out of your Mattress. To put it bluntly, Mattresses are not made to last a lifetime. It is good to replace your Mattress at least every 10 Years. Mattress Company's will put a Warranty or a Life Expectancy number on Mattresses which should give you a clue as when to replace.

Mattress Buying Tip #4. When speaking of Mattress Tips, I think it would be a good idea to talk about Warranties. What does a Warranty cover? When speaking of a Mattress, there is really only one thing that can go wrong, severe sagging. Before you start to call the Mattress Store you purchased your Mattress from, let me explain. Mattresses over time will show body impressions and the more quilting on top of your Mattress, the more body impression it will show. Most Mattress Companies allow 1 1/2 inch of body impression to consider it normal wear. Many factors can affect this sagging, to include weight, improper rotation, improper storage, just to name a few. Are there legitamate Mattress flaws, Yes. Another factor to consider on your Mattress Warranty is cleanliness of your Mattress. Always buy a Mattress Protector with your New Mattress to protect your investment. A small water spot on your Mattress can void your Warranty.

Mattress Buying Tip #5. Check with a Mattress Specialty Store. These Mattress Stores have popped up everywhere, but they only deal in Mattresses so you know they know what they are doing. Furniture Stores will sell Mattresses to compliment Bedroom Suits, but Mattress Specialty Stores only sell Mattesses and will probably have more room to make sure you get the best price because of quantity discounts. Dont be afraid to throw out an offer on the New Mattress.

These are just 5 quick tips to think about when buying a Mattress. I will go more in depth on how to select, how to get the best price, and how to make sure you sleep like a Queen or King.
