If you want to buy a new mattress, there are guidelines from experts that can help you in determining the best one to buy. The first guideline is that you must replace your mattress approximately after a period of eighth years. If you use your mattress for a longer period than that its materials will degrade making it uncomfortable to sleep on. If you wake up feeling pain every morning, if you sleep poorly or you feel disgruntled every time, consider getting a new mattress soon.

The second guideline is that you should replace the box spring together with the mattress. After some time, the springs compress due to having the human body on top of it. This makes the structure of the box spring to change. To maintain the correct structure, the box spring should also be replaced along with the mattress.

The third guideline is that comfort should be your goal. Buying a mattress is all about getting the one that suits you. There are people who like soft mattresses, others like the firm ones and others prefer fairly firm or fairly soft. If you are comfortable with the mattress that you buy, there is a better chance of sleeping comfortably. Also, it is recommended to test the mattress before buying. Testing entails lying on the mattress for some few minutes.

The fourth guideline for getting a good night sleep is look for a mattress that matches your body. Getting a mattress which conforms to the natural curve of your spine and distributes pressure uniformly is tricky. It is tricky because the surface curve on the mattress does not always represent how the spine will curve when you sleep. And also, each person’s pressure point is unique and for this reason, it is good to go with a friend to help you figure out if the mattress you choose supports the body correctly. You should lie on the mattress and ask your friend check whether your spine remains neutral. If the spine sags or is gets curved so much in any direction, then try other mattresses until you find one that maintains the neutral spine alignment.

The fifth guideline for a good night sleep is, do not buy vintage. Vintage mattresses will not only have lost their structure but this rule is very important if you are worried about the mattress catching fire. Mattresses that were manufactured after the year 2007 are the only ones that have met the fire resistance regulation.

Conclusion

The sixth guideline to getting a good night sleep is ignoring brand names. All mattress coils come from the same manufacturer. In the same way, do not be duped by the dollar signs. A high price does not necessarily mean that the quality of the mattress is good. Also, bigger does not imply that the mattress is better. Thickness is only a visual ploy meant to make people think that the mattress is comfier. Pay attention to your body and determine the mattress that feels comfortable. Do not just get one that looks comfortable.

The seventh guideline to getting a good night sleep is considering allergens. If you have allergy especially to mold, bacteria and dust mites, ensure that you read the labels on the mattress to make sure that the material they are made up from does not contain allergens. Better still, you can just look at the hypoallergenic mattresses. These are mattresses made form wool and natural latex. You can find plenty of them at www.thebest-mattress.org. However if you do not have enough money to get an hypoallergenic mattress you can just get one that is not but ensure to vacuum it daily.
