If you are intimidated by mattress shopping because you don't know what to ask, take heart. This simple consumer guide can take the mystery out of mattress buying, and help assure that you're getting the best bed for your money.

How can I tell if I need a new mattress?
Trust your body. Waking up with little aches and pains (that last all day) is usually a good indication that your body isn't getting the proper rest and support it needs throughout the night.
How do I find the most comfortable mattress for me?
Go out and test as many as you can. Compare the different "comfort feels and support," within your price range and find one that is the most comfortable to you. There is no right or wrong feel. The innersprings should distribute weight evenly and gently support your spine to keep it in the same shape as that of a person with good standing posture. Quilting options afford different types of comfort: a more open weave offers a more plush feel while a tighter weave offers a firmer feel.
How do I test a mattress?
You can't judge a bed by sitting on the edge alone. You have to lie down, preferably in the position you go to sleep in. Wear comfortable clothes (ladies, wear pants). Allow enough time on the mattress to settle in and see what happens to the comfort of the mattress after the initial feeling is gone. Bring your partner if you have one, to see if you'll have enough space. Make sure the mattress supports you both, without rolling toward the center of the mattress.
What should the mattress feel like?
Choose the mattress for the comfort feel. A mattress doesn't have to be firm or hard to offer correct support. Manufacturers such as Sealy have done extensive product development to ensure that Sealy Posturepedic™ products have proper support with softer surface comfort as well. Firmer mattresses are also available if that is your preference.
What else is new that I should know about?
Sealy Posturepedic Crown Jewel has just introduced the Dual Support System (DSS) and MicroTek™ Foundation. DSS is the first innerspring system to provide two types of support: cradling, cushioning support that adjusts to your body, while continuously providing the deep down correct support you need.

The MicroTek Foundation is the industry's strongest and most durable foundation, featuring a highly-advanced polymer composite material. It is ten times stronger than any foundation on the market today, yet it's nearly half the height of a standard foundation.This accomodates today's thicker mattresses to make it easier to get in and out of bed, and to show off more of your headboard.

Some new mattresses don't contain the traditional system of coils surrounded by layers of padding but are made of foam, such as the new InfiniLux™ mattress from luxury mattress maker Stearns & Foster. The core of the mattress is not an innerspring but a 7-inch layer of InfiniLux foam. InfiniLux is similar to latex but it is a synthetic fiber that is more uniform and is less susceptible to breakdown over time. (Latex is derived from rubber, a natural product with inconsistencies, that breaks down). The mattress provides a unique, plush feel.
How do I get the most space for my dollar?
A supportive outer edge such as Sealy's EdgeGuard® can add 10% more sleeping surface. Ask your retailer to show you demonstration units with cutaways of the inside of the mattresses you are considering, and note the edge support when you are test-resting a new sleep set.
Will the new mattress fit into my home?
Many king-size mattresses have inner hinges that temporarily bend around tight corners. The foundation for king-size mattresses typically comes in two parts. Stearns & Foster's foam-encased mattresses can be bent in the middle without damaging the mattress; InfiniLux mattresses bend naturally.
What about upkeep?
Once you get your mattress home, rotate it on a regular basis so weight is evenly distributed. Invest in a good mattress cover to prevent soiling.
How long will my mattress last?
A good mattress should last eight to ten years.
How much should I pay for a new mattress?
A good night's sleep is one of the best investments you can make so buy the best mattress you can afford.
