- If you notice significant wear or sagging, you may want to consider buying a new mattress. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, so a good mattress is important for a healthy and long-lasting night's sleep.
- If you spend most of your time sleeping on your side, you'll want to look for a softer to more moderate firmness that allows the mattress to conform to your body type. Foam mattresses offer many advantages for side sleepers.
- If you are a bed sleeper, it is important to focus on getting the most supportive mattress you can find. You will want a medium to slightly firm mattress to relieve pressure from the middle.
- The foundation will ultimately extend the life of the mattress and support it to evenly distribute weight and eliminate sagging. Your salesperson can help you decide if you need to purchase a foundation with a mattress.
- Mattresses should last 8 to 10 years, so if you're within that window, it may be time to start your search.
