Frequently Asked Questions
What should you look for when buying a mattress?
There is no specific way to choose or measure comfort in beds, but consider the following:
Your body type and weight.
Your height.
Take your time to try out the mattress for at least 10 minutes.
Try the mattress in the middle, not just on the edge.
Look for a warranty for the mattress.
Typically, mattresses are either firm, medium, or soft. These represent the support the bed provides and not necessarily comfort. It is generally better to choose a medium mattress if you do not have back or spine health issues. However, if you suffer from back pain, consult your doctor or physical therapist for available options.
How do you maintain a mattress?
Ensure to clean it regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
Preferably, rotate or flip the mattress at least every three months.
When should you replace your mattress?
