Go to a showroom and try them all out and get an idea of firmness. You can actually do more damage with a bad soft mattress, even lying down, if you are not careful. Try them all out, and don't be shy. Also don't let the salesman hover. that way you can relax and enjoy it. bring pen and paper with you and note down the models you want. Then once you have narrowed it down to a couple of brands/the brand you want, comparison shop on line. Also keep in mind the size of the mattress and the box spring and how high it will be. if they store is having a sale, you can always go back to buy it but make sure you get a good deal on things like shipping if that is the case. Don't forget that the box spring is also an essential part of the whole bed in terms of support, and wil be priced separately, and you will need it even if you have a platform bed, in which case, get the low rise if it is available. I got my bed from Sears, a Sealy(serta is another great brand) for half of what it usually costs. Look to spend about 700-$1000 on a good mattress in full to queen size, unless like I said you get a good sale. One final point-watch your sheets--some mattresses are so thick that the fitted sheets will not go over them in the corners. Sept oct is a pretty good time to shop for housewares, as people are getting ready for the holidays and there are good sales on. Best of luck and hope you find a great bed at a bargain price. wildaboutbooks44 52 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment. Please verify your account to give a compliment.
