Mattress Outlet

Visiting a mattress outlet does not have to be a nightmare if you do a little preparation beforehand. The first thing you need to know is that there are six standard mattress sizes to choose from. They are:

  • Twin: 39" W x 75" L
  • Extra Long Twin: 39" W x 80" L
  • Full/Double: 53" W x 75" L
  • Queen: 60" W x 80" L
  • King: 78" W x 80" L
  • California King: 72" W x 84" L

It is important to know what size mattress will fit your bed frame, or in your bedroom, especially if you buy online and have it shipped! Next consider firmness. A mattress should be firm enough to align your body correctly while you sleep. If a mattress is too soft, it will not support your neck and back properly and you will awake unrested and even sore. However a mattress should be soft at all contact points to avoid aches and allow you a good night’s sleep.

Mattresses generally come in two major styles: innerspring and foam. Both styles should be available at any mattress outlet, either online or walk-in store. Innerspring mattresses have coiled metal springs layered between foam and padding. They vary in expense depending on how many coils and the gauge. Foam mattresses use higher-density foams instead of springs and cost less.

People who sleep on their stomachs should opt for a firm mattress to prevent back pain. People who sleep on their sides sleep better with a softer mattress to help minimize pressure points. People who sleep on their backs sleep best on a mattress that is somewhere in the middle, or medium firm. This type of mattress is also beneficial for those with back pain.

It is of course impossible to test a mattress when buying online, but if you go to a mattress outlet or store first you may try before you buy and compare prices later. Be prepared to spend at least ten minutes testing each mattress. If the mattress is for two people, they should both go to the mattress outlet together and test the mattress at the same time. Change positions often, and take note of any difficulty when rolling over. If it takes a lot of effort the mattress is too soft, while if it is uncomfortable on the buyer’s shoulders or hips, the mattress is to firm.

You may also want to consider purchasing box springs as well, when choosing your mattress. A box spring is a simple frame, usually made of wood or metal, with springs. It is placed under the mattress on the floor or bed frame. Most mattress outlets and stores will sell each piece individually or as a set. Purchasing box springs at the same time as the mattress will ensure that they are designed to work together to provide maximum comfort and support. It should also save you some money. Now you are ready to purchase that new mattress and get the rest you deserve!
