Times sure have changed a lot since you last purchased a new mattress. While back then we were typically swayed by ads that promised deep discounts on brand name beds let’s be honest, regardless of how popular the manufacturer name, the quality of sleep you ultimately received wasn’t always quite as great as you expected. But in those days, we got past our discomfort and learned to love our pricey purchase by simply adding thick toppers and lots of extra pillows. Am I right?
But fast forward and today, while there are significantly more brands and styles of mattress than ever before, we also have the ability to learn more about our sleep styles, what we need really for a restful night and how each of the various different styles of mattress stack up against one another.
Because you’ll be spending approximately eight of your 24 hours sleeping on your new mattress… and it will likely be taking you through the next 10 years, you need to start considering it to be an investment versus a purchase – and this means doing a little more research before you splurge.
