Best Mattresses You Can Buy

 Best Mattresses You Can Buy


Buying a new mattress is one of the most important purchases you’ll make for your home. It needs to be comfortable and supportive to give you the best possible sleep, and durable so you won’t have to replace it within a few years. And because mattresses can get pricey, you want to make sure you’re investing in one that’s actually worth the cost.

Which mattress material is best?

Memory foam and innerspring mattresses are the two most common types of mattresses on the market, but it's really a matter of personal preference. You can find mattresses at every firmness level and price for either material.

Memory foam mattresses adapt to your body shape so it feels like your pressure points are being cradled.

Innerspring mattresses are usually firmer and have more bounce.

Hybrid mattresses use a combination of foam and innersprings so you don't have to pick just one.

How do I pick the best mattress?

Consider your sleep position: stomach sleepers need a firm mattress, side sleepers should opt for a softer surface, and back sleepers fall somewhere in between. The goal is to keep your spine in neutral alignment, so there should be less stress on the pressure points like your shoulders, hips, and knees.
