How To Choose The Best Foam Mattress
When looking for the best foam mattress it is easy to get confused by the wide range of models and the amount of technical information which is used.
For this reason we have noted below a few simple points which you might like to bear in mind.
5 Key Points
1. Price
This is a key consideration for most people, and while the final price you end up paying will largely depend on your opinion around the features listed below, we can say, as a general rule, that paying a bit more will get you a better quality of mattress. While you may be working to a tight budget, it is worth considering whether you could pay a little more if the result will be greater comfort and a longer-lasting mattress.
2. Support
The best foam mattresses, if you want firm support, are the visco memory foam versions. You will see details of this modern type of bedding in various other articles on the site, along with reviews on several models. You can find less firm models by searching for innerspring, plush, or ultra plush mattresses.
3. Warranty
If you are paying out for a new mattress, then a good warranty period is essential. Fortunately, most online mattress sale sites offer this with their products.
4. Trial period
Buying online obviously means that you can’t get a good feel for the comfort and support that the bed offers you. One option is to try out some at your local dealer and then, once you know which are the best foam mattresses, log on and look for the same models at better prices. Another way is to choose one that offers a good free trial period, which is sometimes known as a 30, 60, or 90-night sleep trial.
5. Full Mattress, Mattress Topper, or Mattress Pad
If buying a full mattress is going to be too expensive, or if you would rather just improve the support of your existing one, then a foam mattress topper can be a good, economical choice. A mattress pad tends to be thinner and aims mainly to protect the mattress rather than offer the sleeper extra comfort and support.
