Quick mattress buying guide (2 minutes)

Use this to avoid the most common “oops” purchases

1) Pick your “need” first (not the brand)

  • Side sleepers: prioritize pressure relief (memory foam or plush hybrid).
  • Back sleepers: prioritize support + gentle contour (medium/firm hybrid).
  • Stomach sleepers: prioritize firmness to prevent hip sink.
  • Couples: prioritize motion isolation (foam or hybrid with good comfort layer).

2) Compare “total cost” — not just sticker price

  • Mattress + delivery + haul-away + tax
  • Trial/returns rules (and who pays return shipping)
  • Foundation requirements (platform, slats, box spring)
  • Warranty coverage and exclusions

3) Don’t guess your size

  • Measure the room and doorways (tight turns matter).
  • Queen is standard; king adds comfort if your room allows.
  • Check your frame type (platform vs. slats vs. adjustable).

4) Shortcut: start with a category above

  • Use the cards to begin with a curated search by need.
  • Compare a few options, then narrow by feel + trial policy.
  • If you sleep hot, prioritize airflow-forward builds.

Mattress FAQ

Real questions people ask before buying
How long should a mattress last?

Many mattresses last about 7–10 years, but it depends on materials, body weight, and support. If you’re waking up sore, notice sagging, or feel pressure points, it’s often time to replace.

What firmness should I choose for my sleep position?

A good baseline: side sleepers often do best with medium to medium-soft for shoulder/hip relief, back sleepers tend to prefer medium to medium-firm for alignment, and stomach sleepers usually need medium-firm to firm to prevent hip sink.

Hybrid vs. memory foam: what’s the difference?

Memory foam is known for contouring and motion isolation (great for couples). Hybrids combine foam comfort with coils for easier movement, stronger edge support, and often better airflow.

What should I look for if I sleep hot?

Prioritize airflow: hybrids with coils, breathable covers, and ventilated foams can help. “Cooling” labels vary—compare construction and materials, not just marketing terms.

Do I need a box spring or a special foundation?

Many modern mattresses work best on a flat, supportive foundation (platform bed, slats with proper spacing, foundation, or adjustable base). Check the retailer/warranty support requirements before you buy.

Should I rotate (or flip) my mattress?

Most mattresses today are one-sided and shouldn’t be flipped, but rotating every 3–6 months can reduce uneven wear—especially for couples.

How long should I wait before sleeping on a “mattress in a box”?

Many expand enough within a few hours, but full expansion can take 24–72 hours. If there’s any odor, airing out in a ventilated room helps.

Do I really need a mattress protector?

If you want to protect against spills/sweat/allergens and keep the mattress cleaner, a protector is usually worth it. It can also help preserve return condition depending on the retailer’s policy.
