When it is time to buy a new mattress, you might be asking yourself if you want to go with a traditional coil mattress or try something new. A coil mattress is what you have always owned, but you are intrigued by ads for memory foam mattresses and someone you know is raving about their new latex mattress. Choosing just the right bed for you can be frustrating, unless you are armed with the information you need to make the right decision.

According to most sleep experts, mattresses should be replaced around every ten years. If you have been sleeping on the same mattress for more than ten years, it is probably time to start looking for a new mattress.
Replacing your mattress can make an enormous difference in your life, perhaps even more than you would have ever expected. Doctors have come to believe that many health problems are related to poor sleep patterns, and many sleep disturbances can be traced directly to an uncomfortable mattress. Unfortunately, finding the âbest mattressâ is not as easy as checking a list to find out which mattress is rated the highest.

An air mattress, also known as an airbed is an inflatable mattress, usually made of plastic or textile-reinforced plastic or rubber. The deflated mattress can be rolled up or folded and carried or stored relatively easily, making them a popular choice for inflatable mattress trips and for temporary bedding at home for guests. They are inflated either orally by blowing into a valve, or with a manual foot-powered or electric pump. Some are even automatically inflating (up to a certain pressure – some additional inflation is also needed) just by opening the valve.
The three main categories for use of air mattresses are camping, temporary home use (guests) and full time permanent use (in the bedroom). Some air mattresses are specifically designed to perform both functions (camping and guest use) while others are specifically designed for one purpose alone (permanent use in the home or RV).

If you wake up each morning feeling more tired and sore than you felt when you went to sleep the night before, the culprit may be your mattress. A bad mattress can really take a toll on your health. Before you buy a new mattress, though, you may want to consider a few of these mattress buying tips. After all, a new mattress can be just as uncomfortable to sleep on as your old mattress if it is too soft or too hard.
1. Size matters – If you wake up clutching at the edge of your full size mattress because the kids have climbed into bed with you again and are lying sideways, then you may want to consider looking at larger beds. However, if you’ve never had a king size bed, you will want to be sure you have enough room for one. One way to do this is to grab two of your children’s twin size mattresses and place them side by side in the area where you want to position your king size mattress. Since a king size mattress is exactly the size of two twin size mattresses, doing this allows you to really see how much room that big bed will take up.
2. Remember Goldilocks – Some mattresses really are too hard or too soft. If your partner likes soft, cushiony mattresses while you’d prefer to sleep on very firm mattresses, you may want to take a close look at mattresses that allow you to adjust the firmness. For couples that just don’t have money in the budget for high tech mattresses, a good compromise is to buy a very firm mattress and place a piece of padding on one side.
3. Don’t judge a mattress by its cover – While a quilted, plushy mattress cover feels and looks nice, it is what is actually under that cover that matters. Ask the mattress salesperson to show you a model of the interior of the mattress. There should be a strong interior structure. Look for sturdy springs and a stuffing material that can spring back instead of permanently compacting.
Finally, once you decide on a mattress, don’t forget to ask about special offers. Some mattress stores will deliver the new mattress and set up your bed for free, and some even take your old mattress away for you. Other offers to look for are a free bed frame or a discounted price on bedroom furniture sets with the purchase of a new mattress.

Memory foam was developed by NASA in the 1970’s, but it was made famous in the consumer market as topper pads. Later on in the 1990’s, the memory foam mattress was established. From then till today, it has occupied a very prominent space in the mattress industry.
Sleeping on a memory foam mattress is considered good for people with back problems, arthritis, bone and joint problems. Memory foam mattresses are available in a number of sizes such as single, double, queen, king, California queen, California king and super king sizes. Some double memory foam mattresses have both a softer and harder side to meet the requirements of sleeping partners. Mostly, the density of a memory foam mattress is about five inches.
There are certain points that must be kept in mind while purchasing a memory foam mattress, so that you get a suitable mattress of your choice.
Selecting the right type of memory foam mattress is really a very important decision. These following tips may really prove helpful to you when buying one.
Mattress with Temperature Sensitivity
It is not necessary that all the mattresses available in the market are sensitive towards temperature. However, this feature of the mattress must not be underestimated as it is very important. This is the feature that makes a memory foam mattress unique, and absolutely comfortable.
While looking for a mattress, if you come across one that is adjustable to the temperature, do buy it. In a warmer environment this mattress will absorb the body heat. It will also soften up. Similarly, in a cooler environment it will get firmer.
Mattress with the Correct Thickness
The thickness of the mattress is one of the important things to consider. It is the thickness of the memory foam that matters when buying the correct memory foam mattress. The thickness of the memory foam can be defined as the total weight of the mattress, calculated in a cubic foot of memory foam. For instance, if you want to cut a piece of memory foam into a 13×13×13 in a cube shape, and then you weigh it. Thus, the resulting weight will be counted as the thickness of the mattress.
You may come across various theories relating to the correct thickness of a memory foam mattress. But it is always better to select a mattress with the thickness between 5.3 to 5.9 lb. This is because a memory foam mattress with the thickness lower than 5.3 will not be able to provide proper support to your lower back, shoulders and hips.
Likewise, if the thickness of the memory foam mattress is more than 5.9, it will be too thick to provide any proper support.
Mattress with a Sufficient Top Layer
While going to buy a memory foam mattress, it is important that you select one that has sufficient memory foam on the top layer. Generally, it is best to opt for a mattress with 3.5 inches of memory foam as its top layer.
If the layer is too thin, in this case, it will be like sleeping on polyurethane foam. It is quite possible that you will not have comfortable sleep on it.
By keeping these points in mind, you can easily purchase the correct memory foam mattress.

How to Buy a Memory Foam Mattress
Although NASA created memory foam for its space program, it became known in all households when it began getting use as mattress topper pads. From topper pads in the 1970’s to memory foam mattresses in the 1990’s, memory foam has come a long way from orbiting around space. It now holds a high place in bedrooms across the world.
