CHOOSING A MATTRESS!! Don’t let buying a mattress exhaust or frustrate you. There are a lot of different products to choose from, so be prepared by determining what your priorities are in advance and then shop accordingly. The process for picking a mattress is the same for everyone. However, priorities vary with individuals. Find the right size with support and comfort that is good for you. Support There is no perfect answer for everyone. Correct support is the essential ingredient for a healthy body. A good mattress and foundation will gently support your body at all points and keep your spine in the same shape as a person with good standing posture. When trying mattresses, pay special attention to your shoulders, hips, and lower back, the heaviest parts of your body. If there is inadequate support, you can develop back pain. However, if a mattress is too rigid, you can experience uncomfortable pressure. Be cautious of the word firm. Don’t rely on product labels to tell you which mattress will give you the right support. One manufacturer’s “firm” may feel harder than another’s “extra firm”. The word “firm” has become an advertising adjective. Orthopedic surgeons and mattress manufacturers say the most important concern when buying a mattress is not firmness, but support. sizes Size Cramped quarters can turn sleeping into a nightly wrestling match. A healthy sleeper moves anywhere from 40 to 60 times per night. It is important to choose a size that will allow sufficient freedom of motion while you sleep and will help you relax while getting to sleep. Durability People want to know how long a mattress set will last. The International Sleep Products Association (ISPA) says a good bed will last 8 – 10 years with normal nightly use. Most people will keep a good bed longer. A good bed is determined by the quality of the materials used and how it is put together. However, the weight of the person or persons who use the bed and the proper and timely turning of a mattress will affect its life. Children jumping on a bed will also reduce the mattress life.
