Mattress Buying Advice for Couples

He might like it if hard. She may like it soft. On occasion, you might agree. If buying a mattress for one person is hard, then buying a mattress for two is very hard. Use these tips to prepare for your mattress purchase.

Discuss your needs. Each person must discuss and explain what they need in a mattress based on past experiences. Was the previous bed too hard? Was it too soft? Did you ever have a perfect night’s sleep, and what bed were you sleeping on. This will help you determine what each other needs.

Look at all the options. Before you purchase a mattress together, find out what your options are. Since your last bedding purchase, there may be numerous new styles and improvements in the industry that you may not be aware of. This is where Mattressify is quite helpful as you get really great and versatile options so that you can choose a mattress according to your needs.

Determine your budget. There is nothing more aggravating than making a buying decision, only to realize that you cannot afford it. Before you buy, you need to determine how much you can spend. This will help you know which mattresses you can purchase. You can visit laweekly for mattress prices and get really affordable and lucrative deals on amazing and durable mattresses.

Compromise or agree. You must decide if you are going to purchase a mattress that is closer to one spouse’s needs or the other. If one person needs a firm mattress, will the other person suffer from purchase an extra pad for their side of the bed? Will you purchase a bed where the sides can be adjusted for softness? Will the person who needs a firmer side put a board under the bed. With this decision made, you can discuss these issues easier with your salespersons.

Try them out. It is common knowledge that you should go mattress shopping prepared to take a nap. But, is 10 or even 15 minutes long enough to determine if a mattress is right for you? Consider testing out your prospective mattress overnight. If you are considering a Tempurpedic mattress, then book a night at a hotel that uses them. Find a hotel that uses a Select Comfort bed. Look at the label on any mattress that you enjoy, or hate that you have slept on, and take note.

Comparison shop. Check the internet and the local paper for the best prices in mattress sets. If you prefer a store that does not have the best sale, then take the sales flyer with the same bed as you. The salesperson will very likely match the best price. This is not always easy with bedding since each distributor often re-labels the bedding, but just having sales information with you will strengthen your bargaining power.

Following is a list of the best mattresses you can buy. They are listed by price range.
