• <H1> How to Choose a Mattress That You Love
• <H3> If you often wake up feeling sore and grumpy, chances are you lack a good night’s sleep and experts say a bad bed can be a major cause. You probably need to change your mattress but the big question is: how do you choose a new bedding? How do you ensure that the money you spend getting a new cushion is money well-spent? What type of bed is the best?
• <H3> 
• <H3> The interactive chart below and the analysis that follows will help you decide what the best mattress for the money is.
• <H3> 
• <H3> We all have our personal preferences on what makes a good and comfortable bedding, but in an extreme situation (such as a health challenge), you want to choose the mattress that you love, and so we’re here to help.

• <H3> Why You Need a Good Bed
• <H3> Experts say we spend a third of our entire lives sleeping! Now, that’s true and who wants to spend that number of years in a bumpy bed?
• <H3> If you really care about comfort and quality without spending a fortune, you’ll find this guide useful.
• <H3> It will take you through the various brands and types of beddings out there and make recommendations based on individual needs and wants.
• <H3> Let me quickly say shopping for a bedding can be a grueling exercise and there is no brand that is superior to the other. It just depends on your individual taste and needs. Before you choose a cushion online, look at the support, read the reviews of other users, can the price be negotiated? Don’t just buy a bed based on the cost as this does not always guarantee comfort.
• <H3> Experts talk about test-driving the cushions severally before making a purchase but many a buyer have been more confused by doing this, with sales men just trying to sell them a bed they may not need. And the price tags put on such products at the stores is a story for another day. Many people have had to resort to using the Internet to purchase a new cushion and you will find their experience useful when you eventually decide to purchase on Amazon.
• <H3> Advantages of Buying a Bed on the Internet
• <H3> You don’t have a salesman trying to convince you to purchase a bed you know may not be good for you.
• <H3> It’s extremely comfortable (surfing the Internet) as opposed to going from one store to the other and sleeping on a bunch of mattresses just to make the right choice.
• <H3> You can delay your purchase on the Internet to get more clarity about a product without being under any sort of pressure but sales men make that difficult when you’re in a physical store as they try to use different sales tactics to get you to purchase there and then.
• <H3> Most of the beddings you will find in stores are out-of-the-reach of most people but Amazon has a large selection of affordable mattresses which do not compromise on quality.
• <H3> 
• <H3> So, When Do You Need a New Bed?
• <H3> When the one on which you currently sleep has sunk in the middle
• <H3> When you wake up with aches and pains in your body
• <H3> When the seams are in tatters and the stuff inside is forcing out
• <H3> 
• <H3> So, How Do You Choose a Mattress That You Love?
• <H3> A good quality cushion usually has a mix of comfort and affordability. In essence, it provides comfort without costing much. Portability can also be considered because a bedding that is adaptable to other functions is great. At the end of the day, individual comfort is the most important pre-requisite for a good bed.
• <H3> Types 
• <H3> Different types of cushions exist on the market; some are firm, while others are not so firm. Sizes also vary as well as thickness (which ranges from four to 18 inches). I examine some of them below. In this context, types of beds refer to the source of support.
• <H3> Memory Foam 
• <H3> Though new in the market, Memory Foam has gained prominence since the mid-1990s. It is made from a substance called visco-elastic. When compared to other beds, Memory foam promotes sound sleep by keeping the entire body in a comfortable position; provides unrivaled cushioning and support for all-night comfort. This enables users wake rested and without aches and pains.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Some users however say memory foam beds retain an uncomfortable amount of body heat. Despite this, they are known to have immense pressure-relieving properties, less tendency to cause allergies and are available in a variety of qualities and depths (according to the thickness and density of the visco-elastic used). Usually, memory foam can not be turned over. But you can turn them around, and some beddigs have handles which make this easier to do. They tend to be expensive and softer, but not necessarily better (as some are extremely poor).
• <H3> 
• <H3> Latex Foam 
• <H3> Latex foam cushions are some of the healthiest and eco-friendly mattresses available. They are made from a material that originates from the sap of the rubber tree. Even though they’ve been around since the 1950’s, they don’t provide as much comfort as Memory Foam.
• <H3> Just like memory foam, latex foam beds are hypo-allergenic and highly recommended for people who suffer respiratory problems (such as Asthma). They come in different layers and quality (depending on the thickness of the layer of latex used). The greater the quality of latex used, the more luxurious the bedding will feel. Like Memory Foam, Latex foam do not need to be turned even though they are probably a little cooler than former.
• <H3> Latex foam is available in two types: Natural and Blended Latex. Both types can be made using two manufacturing processes (known as the Dunlop and Talalay) The Dunlop process has existed for many decades, while Talalay is newer. Latex cushions made with the Dunlop technology are firm and responsive to the body while Talalay latex is softer than Dunlop.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Innerspring 
• <H3> 
• <H3> By all standards the most popular type of bedding, innerspring mattresses are famous for having a large number of enclosed coil springs for support. On top of the coils, various foams and fibers lend the bedding its insulation and comfortable feel. Innerspring cushions come in a full range of comfort choices from feathery to extra firm. Prices are reasonable but quality should take precedence. A qualitative innerspring bed can last for up to 10 years if well maintained.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Air Beds
• <H3> 
• <H3> Air mattresses, also known as airbeds, are inflatable mattresses, developed with PVC vinyl plastic. Recently, versions developed with textile-reinforced urethane plastic or rubber, have been introduced. Air beds are similar to the Innerspring in a lot of ways but differ in the use of air instead of coils.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to puncture these beds as they are cushioned by comfort layers of cotton, memory foam or latex. They can however be deflated, rolled up and easily carried around, making them a popular choice for camping trips and for temporary bedding at home for guests. They are inflated either orally or via an electric pump. Although recently developed, properly maintained air mattresses should last 20 or more years without any loss in functionality. On a general scale, air beds are high-tech sleep systems that provide healing benefits to users.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Futons
• <H3> 
• <H3> I call the Futon a multi-functional bedding (you can convert it into a seater during the day and use it to sleep at night). This type of mattress is usually placed in beds that fold up for easy storage; futons are fabric stuffed with synthetic or natural materials that bend easily. Alongside convertible beds, the Futon solves the problem of small apartment spaces or an extra guest bed. It is popular among college students and people with a preference for convertible furniture.
• <H3> 
• <H3> It is inexpensive and quite durable when used occasionally or temporarily. It can be both a bed and a sofa when placed on a futon frame.
• <H3> 
• <H3> The Encyclopedia of Modern Everyday Inventions by David John Cole, Eve Browning and Fred E. H. Schroeder recalls how the futon mattress came into being.
• <H3> 
• <H3> According to it, “Futon, which comes from a Japanese word meaning “place of rest” entered the American vocabulary in the years following World War II. The original or Japanese futon cushion is unrolled on the floor for sleeping purposes, and its original American offspring followed suit.”
• <H3> 
• <H3> When used regularly, futons do not last while the initial odor it emits is a drawback for some.
• <H3> So, Which Bedding Is Right for Me? Is it the Firm, Medium or Soft One?
• <H3> Purchasing a bed should honestly not be on the basis of softness or firmness. It depends entirely on your body type and the level of support you want. Are you top heavy or bottom heavy? Are you 5 or 6 feet tall? Many things need to be taken into consideration.
• <H3> But, if you suffer from a bad back, a very firm cushion may not be for you. A study, published in The Lancet Journal, discovered that patients suffering from back pain were twice as likely to report improvement when sleeping on a medium-firm mattress as opposed to patients who slept on a firm bedding.
• <H3> 
• <H3> In the study published November 2003, the Journal concluded that “a mattress of medium firmness improves pain and disability among patients with chronic non-specific low- back pain”.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Sizes and Prices
• <H3> In deciding to purchase a bed, you may also have to look at the different sizes available. Below is a partial list.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Crib Size
• <H3> Crib mattresses are for babies and must always be firm. Most times, an innerspring or solid foam bedding would do. For babies, try to avoid soft beddings or pillow tops to avoid bodily harm.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Twin  Size
• <H3> 
• <H3> These are bigger than the crib size. They are approximately 38 inches wide by 75 inches long. They are ideal for single sleepers.
• <H3>  Full  Size
• <H3> 
• <H3> Unlike the twin, the full size is 53 inches wide and 75 inches long (this means both the full and twin sizes have the same length).
• <H3> Even though a full size is wider than a twin, it is not recommended for couples. It is a better choice for single sleepers (with many parents preferring them to full size beds for their teenagers).
• <H3> 
• <H3> Queen  Size
• <H3> The Queen size is wider and longer than a full-size. It is the most popular bed today. It is 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. It is highly recommended for guest rooms and couples who prefer to sleep in close proximity.
• <H3> 
• <H3> King  Size
• <H3> 
• <H3> The King-size is twice the size of a twin. It is about the best choice for couples who want ample personal sleeping space. It is 76 inches wide and 80 inches in length. Be sure to check if it’s not too big for your bedroom.
• <H3> California King Size
• <H3> It is a variant of the King-size. It is 4 inches narrower and 4 inches longer than a regular King size.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Prices
• <H3> 
• <H3> Prices vary according to distributor, the type (spring, memory foam, air bed or latex), the size, comfort, support and durability of the bedding.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Current prices for a few products are available on Amazon.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Find the Perfect Bed for Your Sleeping Style
• <H3> 
• <H3> There is no way you can buy a comfortable cushion without considering your sleeping style. Are you a stomach, side or back sleeper? If you use a combination of the sleeping styles, you should take that in consideration before making a purchase.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Side Sleepers need beds that will relieve pressure from the shoulders and hips. Such beddings need to be slightly soft to allow the sleeper’s body to sink just a little into it. Side sleeping is the most common sleeping style.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Back Sleepers need cushions that will support the lower back. As such, a stiff spring bed may not be good while a cushion that is soft will not give adequate support to the body and lower back. A medium-firm bedding is an excellent choice.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Stomach Sleepers require firm beddings that will keep the body floating instead of sunken. Scores of stomach sleepers may experience lower back pain, a situation which has impelled them to this sleeping style where spine placement is at its most minimal.
• <H3> 
• <H3> Sleepers who use a combination of all styles need sleeping surfaces that are suited for their personal comfort. A bed that is not too stiff for side sleeping and not too soft for the stomach. Most people fall into this sleeping style category and will find cushions with innerspring/pocket coils or those made from latex foam to be highly comfortable.

• <H3> How to Choose a Good Bedding
• <H3> Sleep quality and comfort are highly subjective so make sure your interests are best served when looking to replace your cushion.It is a personal decision which only you can make.
• <H3> Look for a bedding that supports your body in a neutral position, one in which your spine has a nice curvature and your buttocks, heels, shoulders, and head are supported in proper alignment.
• <H3> Ignore both brand names and price as a highly priced bed is not a sign of good quality. You can find good quality products for less.
• <H3> If you share a bed with your spouse, invest in a cushion that allows two people to fiddle with the firmness on their respective divides.
• <H3> Don’t be fooled by thick cushions as it’s not an evidence of quality. It’s just a ploy by manufacturers to confuse buyers. Go for a product that’s comfortable and supportive.
• <H3> Look for a return policy so you can return the product if you’re not totally satisfied with it.
• <H3> If you’re allergic (especially to dust mites, mold and certain bacteria), make sure to read the product label so you don’t end up with a bed made with materials that contain devious allergens. Alternatively, you can get an hypo-allergenic bed (like natural latex and wool) or a mattress cover.
• <H3> You can save money by combining a memory foam topper with an inexpensive mattress. Depending on the thickness of the memory foam topper, you can get the feel of a memory foam.
• <H3> To further save money, you can consider buying during sales.
• <H3> Be careful where you get information from before choosing a bedding as most major review blogs may look independent (even though they are owned by major mattress manufacturers).
• <H3> 
• <H3> It’s Your Turn to Make a Decision
• <H3> Popular and affordable bed manufacturers include but are not limited to the following: Signature Sleep, Sleep Innovations, Best Price, Dream Foam, Sleep Master, Simmons, Serta, Safety 1st, Naturepedic, Textrade, Sealy, Linenspa, Brentwood Well-Being, Colgate, Moonlight Slumber, DynastyMattress, Dream on Me and so many others.
• <H3> Pricier bed brands include the Tempur-Pedic, Sleep Number and a host of others. You may want to check them out depending on your budget. But if you prefer affordable brands, just go with the former.
• <H3> Hopefully, this article will help you choose a mattress that you love. But let your personal preference (and that of your spouse, if you’re married) override any choice you make.
