You know it’s time for a new mattress when you look at the old one and notice a peak that seems to have formed between you and your partner. No wonder you keep rolling to the side, the mattress is sloped like a mountain. Add to that a headboard that keeps threatening to come loose and you are looking at a total bedroom makeover. The choice in mattresses, orthapedic mattresses, beds, tempurpedic beds and bed frames has never been greater. For a long time, pillow top mattresses were seen as the way to go, but the pillow top gets pushed out of shape and uncomfortable long before the rest of the mattress is ready to be replaced. If you really need the pillow top, then it’s better to get a standard mattress and add a replaceable pillow top. Memory foam mattresses are also increasingly popular, but the price puts them out of reach of most of us. After some research and a visit to our nearest bed store, we decided to go with a platform bed (no box spring required, which means we don’t have to maneuver one up our historic narrow stairway) and a foam core mattress. For some reason, this seemed to satisfy both of us, even though we have very different tastes when it comes to mattress firmness. The cat is also happy because he doesn’t have to jump as high to get on the bed. The price was OK. More than we wanted to spend, but not as much as we feared we would have to.

When two people on one bed roll to the middle inadvertently, it may be time for a new mattress. This was the case in my life about four years ago. Waking up with an aching back and never actually sleeping was becoming routine. My girlfriend and I researched a number of beds before finally making a decision. We narrowed it down to the final two options, the tempurpedic and the sleep number bed. Sleep number won by a nose. Ironically we were the same sleep number. This kind of goes against the whole point of a sleep number bed. This bed has its positives and negatives. We were misinformed about the warranty when we purchased it for over £1000 which only extends fully for two years. We have had the pump replaced in the past 4 years, which I don’t find impressive. However, I sleep soundly and comfortable and can’t find a bed that I find more inviting or comfortable. The ability to change the firmness of each side individually is great. Just keep your fingers crossed that whatever is going to break will break in the first two years!

Getting enough good sleep is important for everyone, no matter what stage of life you are in, life’s not easy if you don’t get enough sleep or if your sleep is of poor quality. So what is the best way you go about getting the best sleep? By getting the best bed. So how do you get the best bed for your buck? You have to shop around. People who buy bargain beds often think they are getting a good deal but soon realise that if you don’t spend the money then you won’t get a good bed. In general there are two main types of mattress, soft and firm. Each person has a different preference so here you will need to try out a few mattresses and see which you prefer, if you are in a rush to buy a new bed, however, you can always settle for an adjustable bed, it will cost you more but enable you to alter the firmness at the push of a button. Also remember, if you are getting a softer mattress you will need to buy a box spring for the bed which will cost a bit more as well but is well worth the money. While you are trying out new beds keep your options open and try a multitude of materials and makes, don’t settle for second best.
